Havent heard a Peep since Applying. Got the reference number - send 2 emails in the last 1.5 Years asking for any kind of acknowledgement.. nothing.
The ceremony to receive the certificate was very straightforward and simple. It was a group ceremony, no questions asked, just exchanging docs, reading the declaration of loyalty to the German constitution out loud (everyone together) and that's it. No reason to be afraid, they don't ask any questions, there's barely any individual interaction.
I applied with a lawyer, in hopes it would make the whole process run faster. It didn't work like that. Today I suggest not applying with a lawyer, at least in Munich it seems it doesn't make a difference anymore in terms of speed.
I send some updates of my status, but dont get a response. I‘ll file UK in two months from now (after 15 months from applying )
No response yet from my case worker despite a follow up 14 months later. Next step is to sue due to untaetigkeitsklage
That's for Landkreis Munchen. Online application and appointment to show "original" documents (which were already provided online) and sign "not a terrorist" paper, followed by appointment to pick up Urkunde.
Bescheidung des Antrags kam nur nach einer Fauchaufsichtbeschwerde, davor totalle Funkstille seitens KVR
