Just looked at my form. Q16 isn't answered on my form. Did you answer yes on Q 15a or b? No need to answer here, but I guess since I answered no question 16 didn't came up for me.
That's why you see so many Germans in this thread. We all jumped on it as soon as we could hoping it all works out with an interview/ oath after june 26th 🤣
We just applied 😅 but I feel you. So close to the finish line.
Super stupid question, but did you try to hit the next button? I got this, too and I have zero children. You don't have to upload anything at this point. The online form improved, but it's still not completely smart, and the button looks clickable.
From what I've seen here is that most who applied online received an almost instant message that biometrics will get reused. The ones who had to go to do biometrics got an appointment notice about a week after filing. It's been a month now and I haven't heard either. I know that it's not long in the greater picture. I'm not complaining, just looking for experience.
Anybody else had to wait longer to hear something about biometrics? How long did it take?
Until recently Germany only allowed dual citizenship under special circumstances. The law was changed to allow dual citizenship and made public, but it won't go into effect until June 27th.
Welcome. Hope it goes over smooth and easy for you. I didn't get the notice either and haven't heard something since applying. Still hoping for a biometrics reuse 🤞
Der sagte, dass sobald mein neuer pass in NYC ist krieg ich ne nachricht das ich den alten dahin schicke und dann beide zurueck bekomme. Stattdessen kam dann aber ganz underwartet der neue pass.
Mein letztes Standesamt is allerdings Kleinstadt in BW. Da is wahrscheinlich auch einfach nich so viel los wie Berlin Mitte 🤣
Du behaelst deinen Pass bis der neue da ist. Meinen alten wollten sie nie zurueck haben obwohl sie am anfang gesagt hatten das ich den alten einschicken muss zum entwerten 🤷♀️
Wenn du deinen Maedchennamen behalten willst in DE kannst du ganz normal deinen Pass erneuern lassen. Du musst weder den Namen aendern noch die Ehe eintragen lassen. Ich wollte den Namen aendern und dann haben wir halt alles in einem Aufwasch gemacht @Verocopter
@omega6, ich war und bin nur teilzeit angestellt mit keinem Anspruch auf nichts 🤣
I saw that others here have done that who ate also still waiting for their ROC. Basically just a short letter pointing out that you're still waiting for ROC and requesting that the roc interview be waved or having a combo interview for roc and naturalization.
Apparently some experienced showing up expecting a combo interview and the officer didn't even knew they had an active ROC. So they only did the naturalization part and then had to wait even longer till ROC finally caught up.
I'm at 515 days now for ROC. It's wild 😫
I feel like I learned nothing out of all these years. I want to hear something about the biometrics. No patience whatsoever 🤣
I did however just uploaded the letter for the combo interview request. Not gonna hurt anybody I guess.
Photo will be taken and it might go on the naturalization certificate.
You just show up, fill out a form with name, height, hair color... then they'll call you to the back where they take a picture, your fingerprints and your signature. That's all.
