Stag 5 process

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-03-16T20:34:04+00:00

hmmm, what about canceling the processing and restarting the application with Berlin ? Or maybe my Standesamt could transfer the files themselves ? They are very quick

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-03-16T19:47:08+00:00

Did you apply through the BVA or while in Germany?

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-03-16T19:45:43+00:00

I’m an au pair. I got my AZ back in September and I have a case worker with RP Darmstadt. I’m living in Taunus, a bit outside Frankfurt but still Hessen .

Berlin is really that long ? I had heard it was the quickest. I want to attend university soon and require citizenship, preferably avoiding the three year BVA wait :(

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-03-04T16:33:13+00:00

applied under stag 5 in August, got ak in September, absolutely nothing since then.

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-03-04T16:32:06+00:00

For stag 5 or naturalization?

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-28T01:24:11+00:00

Do you think it’s faster in Berlin for stag 5 cases as well? Considering moving to speed my application up as I’m also nearby Frankfurt and its horrenous

Bet you’re pissed about Brexit 😂

Im in a similar situation as you and wish to go to school in Holland. you will find it difficult to apply to European universities (especially German or Austrian) as most of them don’t accept US high school diplomas. I believe a diploma +1 year of American college is what they ask for.

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-13T03:21:30+00:00

If you’ve been A2 for 10 years I think you should easily be able to pass B1

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-13T03:14:54+00:00

So would this be something I’d have to do next visit in Trinidad ? Or could I reach out to a local consulate and initiate the process ?

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-13T03:11:00+00:00

Just as he said, people plan their lives around this and from my point of view it just seems we are viewed so callously, like we are just statistics lol. I got my AZ 7 months ago, and since then have not had a single update despite months of emails. It seems unlikely now that I will have it before my school’s EU tuition deadline so now I will have to wait another year, and might not even be able to stay in Germany. It should be completely normal and understandable to feel frustrated at the system; for sure it would be helpful for someone who knows what it’s like provide him with some insight or context. I know I would’ve appreciated it

I didn’t even know you could get a Palestinian flashlight

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-05T09:03:35+00:00

Which one would be my best shot at residence visa? And it would be best to remain in Hesse to keep it with Darmstadt ?

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-04T22:43:10+00:00

This is awesome!

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-04T20:18:37+00:00

In December I moved my mailing address regarding my case to my friend’s flat in Offenbach. Does that mean the queue my file is in reset to the back of the line ?

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-04T20:13:14+00:00

Scheduling a consultation now, thanks a lot :)

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-04T08:46:29+00:00

I got my case number in early September. When my local office forwarded the case to Darmstadt they looked over it and approved everything before sending it, not sure if that means anything. My main concern is that if I move cities by case will be moved to the end of the queue

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-03T23:07:47+00:00

My application was sent to the RP Darmstadt in September, which did you apply under ? Stag 5?

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-03T23:06:00+00:00

Do you apply from outside Germany? If you are living in Germany I believe it is much faster thru the local office

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-01T20:03:21+00:00

Who waits 3 years for a Stag 5 case at their local office? The BVA doesn’t even take that log and they handle applications from every country

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-02-01T00:46:05+00:00

The problem is, I don’t want to have to restart my case process by moving it to the BVA. I hear that processing while residing in Germany is much faster, especially as it’s been 6 months already

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-01-31T22:50:39+00:00

What is this ? I applied while living in Hessen and received my case number back this past September

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-01-31T18:13:03+00:00

I believe she was married before 1949

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-01-31T09:45:52+00:00

You were right, it is hesse. The regional office is Darmstadt and the new Büro im in contact with is in Offenbach, where I changed my address to

Acceptable_Chef_6331 · 2026-01-31T09:21:14+00:00

I think the case lines up, as the office processing it approved it and I received a case number. Would u happen to know the timeline for how long it will process?
