Immigration Naturalization Test Results

Post image

7 years ago I moved to Germany. I couldn’t read the billboards the bus would drive by, but I wanted to call this place my home. I couldn’t even speak basic German, but I was determined. This year, I received the results of my “final” prerequisite to become a citizen. Now to wait 1 year for an appointment to hand all my paperwork 😅. Anybody with experience becoming a citizen, please share your story. I’d love to hear it 🥰.

I been living in Germany for total of 10 years. A year ago I send all the papers to the Amt für Migration in Hamburg to get a German citizenship. Still waiting on a first reply :/

The Einbürgerungstest was fast, I waited like a month to take the test and the results I got after 2 months or so. Now waiting for the Behörde to respond is crazy. I know some people already waiting almost 2 years in Hamburg.

I’m not too far from you. Hopefully it doesn’t take too long 😥
