FAQ

Quick, practical answers about how the timeline works, what the numbers mean, and how to contribute.

Where does the data come from?
The numbers come from anonymized, community-submitted timelines. Each entry is a real user report, so results can vary by case and over time.
What does “Average (Approved)” mean?
It’s the average processing time of approved applications only. This avoids mixing in ongoing (“pending”) cases when comparing cities.
How do you calculate time for “pending” applications?
If someone selected “pending”, we count days from the application submission date up to today. If the submission date is missing, we can’t compute it.
Fastest / slowest cities: how is that decided?
We sort cities by their “Average (Approved)” when enough approved entries exist. Small sample sizes can be noisy, so treat rankings as directional.
What is the “route” (Standard / Marriage / Special)?
Route indicates the basis of eligibility (e.g. standard 5 years, marriage 3 years). Different routes can have different timelines, so we show breakdowns.
Berlin has “Referat”. What is that?
Berlin processes cases by internal units (“Referat”, often S1–S6). If your letter or emails mention a unit, selecting it helps make the Berlin stats more accurate.
Is my submission private?
Yes. Submissions are anonymous and only include what you enter. Don’t share names, case numbers, or sensitive documents in the notes.
Is this official legal advice?
No. Citizify is a community tracker, not a government source. Use it as a reference, and confirm details with official channels for your case.
