## FAQ

### How long does citizenship (Einbürgerung) take at the Ausländerbehörde Rhein-Kreis Neuss?

There are not enough reports for this application type in Rhein-Kreis Neuss yet. The office states 6 months (Rhein-Kreis Neuss, Kreistag (SessionNet), 2024-11-06).

### What can I do if the Ausländerbehörde Rhein-Kreis Neuss 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 Rhein-Kreis Neuss serve?

About 34,400 people, 14.7% of the population (2024 share of foreign nationals, Federal and State Statistical Offices).
