Frequently asked questions

How long does citizenship (Einbürgerung) take at the Ausländerbehörde Kreis Pinneberg?

There are not enough reports for this application type in Kreis Pinneberg yet.

What can I do if the Ausländerbehörde Kreis Pinneberg has not decided after three months?

That is common, and on its own it is not a reason to act. Many offices have large backlogs, and asking for updates rarely speeds things up. If the delay has no sufficient reason, § 75 VwGO allows an action for failure to act (Untätigkeitsklage). An immigration lawyer can tell you whether that applies to you.

How many foreign residents does the Ausländerbehörde Kreis Pinneberg serve?

About 43,100 people, 13.7% of the population (2024 share of foreign nationals, Federal and State Statistical Offices).
