Einbürgerung - Success Story
Hi All,
After living in germany for 8 years and 1 month i have finally got my German Citizenship. My sincere thanks to this forum members and Detlef for showing us the way.
Short info about the Timeframe.
Student 2000 - 2002
Work 2002 - 
BE 2005
Application for NE 09/2007
Application for Citizenship 11/2007
NE 02/2008
Citizenship 04/2008
All applications in Frankfurt, Hessen. For Citizenship have submitted Integration Course Certificate. Normally takes longer(1 year or more) in Hessen but probably becos of having applied for NE just before Citizenship application could have made the process faster for me. Can count myself as one of the luck ones.
Good luck
thnks

Re: Einbürgerung - Success Story
Hi Raj,
your message was very helpful for me. I have a query about my case:
I studied in Germany too and had returned to India after my studies (Did an Abmeldung) and arrived again on Green Card in 2001. I have been asked by Präsedium Darmstadt to wait till 2009 (in order to complete 8 years), but with the integration course i have the possiblity to reduce this lead time to 7 years. I can speak German too.
Will appreciate if someone could throw more light on following questions:
-can the integration courses be waived off if the applicant has a German degree?
-Must the applicant have some Bescheinigung from the AB or some other office in order to visit such courses?
- If the person speaks German, then he/she still needs to go through the language courses offered in the integration course?
- I am still not sure about the real duration and content of the integration course.
I will really appreciate any help on this. Thanks

Hi,
your questions have been discussed in this forum several time - try to search in archieve.
in short words -
- you don't need to repeat the ZD test if you have the certificate already
- you have to joint the orientations course (45 hours) - you can pay by yourself - the course is 2,3 euro per hour - get 'orientierungkurs teilnahme bescheinigung'
- send your ZD + teilnahme to BMAF to get integration course certificate.

@ raj
Can you please advice me on the final stages of Einbürgerung ?
do you need to produce salary certificates or any other documents from Arbeitgeber?
I have this question because i am planning to take a sabbatical (for finishing my doctoral studies) and i plan to reduce my working hours (for atleast 6 months!!)
as i have applied already with all necessary documents, will there be any questions on the regard of salary?
Or woudl you advice me to do this break after i get my papers?
Thanks

They always ask for the salary receipts. I was asked twice during the process
>>as i have applied already with all necessary documents, will there be any questions on the regard of salary?
It is important to continually fulfill the criterias until they take the decision to issue the Einbürgerungsurkunde and that is having a secure job with salary.
>>Or woudl you advice me to do this break after i get my papers?
That is always the best option. No complications and you dont give them the chance to delay their decision for your application.

Re: Einbürgerung - Success Story
@Raj,
Did they ask for Arbeitbeschinigung or only for salary slips ?
If someone change the job at the middle or at the end of the process then what gonna happen ?

I remeber giving the Arbeitsbescheinigung the first time, later it was only salary receipts
>>If someone change the job at the middle or at the end of the process then what gonna happen ?
You are normally supposed to inform them about any changes in your work. As far as i know, changing jobs is not a problem.
@fred
thnks. long time no see!!

Re: Einbürgerung - Success Story
As I understood that one can get Integration course certificate from BAMF by sending copies of ZD exam + Orientering kurs participation. Could someone pls tell me the address/tel. nr of BAMF, which is responsible for Integration certificate?
How long does it take to get the certificate?
Thanks!
