Dunno what awaits me down the road but so far the citizenship application process looks quite crisp. Can do it online, the form looks good.

I applied for normalization in 2019. After taking the language and Einburgerungstest, and endless e-mails, my same Sacharbeiterin says, I am not in the process at all. I feel they just swiped applications waiting on the desk. And today I’m still curious how could people without any education or skills, work experience could finish it faster. Bribe? Hopefully not.

I feel your pain, I applied in 2020 and I'm still waiting for updates on the process. I was told in no uncertain terms that I am forbidden from asking for updates on the application status.

I'm now going to try again in June now that dual nationality is back on the table and it's no longer going to be processed by Pankow
