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.
