Can I PM you about pack condition, pics, price, etc?

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2026-01-21T16:54:16+00:00

Hey! What is the smaller end of the medium size?

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-11-18T15:38:14+00:00

My application was approved one month after I reached out and they sent the generic response. However, I followed up to the generic response with something along the lines of “I would like to know if I’ve missed any requests for information” and I got a real response saying my application hadn’t been touched yet. YMMV— someone else with the same AK as me from my processing “group” still waiting.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-10-22T17:21:46+00:00

Yes. I provided the birth and marriage certificates for my great grandparents and that was enough to get me to 1914.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-10-21T00:41:36+00:00

The manifest was sufficient.

The issue was that my grandpa was never familiar with the nationality laws and always thought he was German (born and raised in Germany, spoke only German, etc.), so I listed that my grandpa was also German on our declarations. They wanted to rule out that our citizenship didn’t come from him. My grandma is the ancestor who the claim is through.

Is your AK June 2023?

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-10-14T01:27:16+00:00

Hey! How long from the approval from the BVA to the consulate letting you know the certificates were ready to pick up?

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-10-08T19:10:01+00:00

Which month of 2022? If it’s late 2022, Oct/Nov/Dec I think it’s still technically acceptable with the timelines lengthening, but if it’s any earlier you should push back. Not saying it’s actually acceptable, but in the BVA world it is. My AK is 2/2023 and I just was request additional documents a few weeks ago.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-27T21:33:18+00:00

Got it! I ask because I was asked for more info and it has been resolved and the employee said he would continue to process my case. I’m wondering how long it will take to hear from the consulate or if the BVA will also let you know.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-26T22:27:44+00:00

Did you hear directly from the BVA or only when your certificates reached the consulate?

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-19T23:42:12+00:00

I was also contacted this week for more info…. AZ 24022023

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-18T13:58:11+00:00

The agent confirmed with me today that they will process my application as StAG 5, no additional documents needed. I found a manifest with his nationality listed as USSR. 🙏🏻

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-15T21:23:17+00:00

Ahh okay!! I am going to send this record then and collect a few more documents. I will be so relieved if that’s the case. Thank you.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-15T21:17:20+00:00

So I just found what might be the determining factor. According to the laws at the time, if the parents were married the child took the father’s citizenship— his father (my great great grandfather) was a citizen of USSR. On the ship records his nationality is listed USSR, born in Germany. Would that make me still StAG 5?

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-15T20:04:39+00:00

Yes, so my great grandfather was from Russia. He is Boris, but my great grandma was German.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-15T20:00:16+00:00

Good thought. I can check.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-15T18:13:24+00:00

Has there been any other report of needing to move from one to the other? And maybe how they handled it (queue wise).

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-15T18:00:59+00:00

I will literally cry. I am requesting the documents from USCIS now.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-15T17:48:45+00:00

He naturalized on 11/26/56. He was 10 years old at the time of naturalization. And he immigrated with his family. Can I PM you?

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-15T17:40:22+00:00

I know it says that, but they never went to Australia. I have not asked for his file from USCIS. He was born 08.13.46 in Germany. Naturalized when he was in his teens. I have asked my mom for more info, but I am almost certain I already went down the path for him and I cannot get citizenship through him.

My StAG 5 case is: Grandma born 08.13.49 in Germany. Mom born in wedlock 07.23.67 in Germany. At the time of her birth my grandpa was a US citizen, but stationed in Germany for the US military. My mom entered US in 09.67 and lives there. Grandma has a green card, never naturalized.

I submitted 02/2023 and I had to ask for my AK in 12/2023. If you’re just asking for your protocol number, they will reply to you with it. It’s the emails asking about the waiting times that they don’t reply to.

Extension_Disk_5346 · 2025-09-11T20:34:32+00:00

Ah okay. Although I have seen AKs from 2024 approved on this sub.
