Frequently asked questions
How long does citizenship (Einbürgerung) take at the Ausländerbehörde Emden?
There are not enough reports for this application type in Emden yet.
What can I do if the Ausländerbehörde Emden 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.
