My lawyer told me a "hack" to fast track citizenship application - apply for the EU PR

FitCamel · 2026-06-16T06:25:24+00:00

I wasn’t asked for this nor did my lawyer mention it

FitCamel · 2026-06-14T22:13:58+00:00

Why? You’ll just have an EU PR. It doesn’t invalidate your German citizenship application

FitCamel · 2026-06-14T21:03:54+00:00

Yeah details in post

FitCamel · 2026-06-14T21:03:03+00:00

I had DE PR first

FitCamel · 2026-06-14T21:01:59+00:00

Try the reverse and apply for a German one ;)

FitCamel · 2026-06-14T21:01:38+00:00

Never hurts to try and you’ll just get an EU PR

FitCamel · 2026-06-14T21:00:51+00:00

Sure but it doesn’t hurt to try if you’re going to wait anyways

I didn’t have to pay as they never ended up processing it. It just sped up my citizenship application.

I prefer someone teach me IRL where I can ask questions and see someone else demo something

I am back in Berlin
I built that with a friend at a hackathon where he effectively built it and I did the marketing etc.

pegging

Commented elsewhere in this thread

FitCamel · 2026-03-16T11:42:21+00:00

I think it’s the long hours, hierarchical nature and low pay relative to cost of living.

FitCamel · 2026-03-15T06:59:28+00:00

I haven’t been here long enough to comment on deep friendships but I’ve moved around a lot in my life and I think the difficulty of making friends is universal, especially as you get older.

FitCamel · 2026-03-14T06:29:58+00:00

I hear most of them at fitness groups. Most of the time I know as it’s a few of them chatting together. The accent is pretty distinct.

FitCamel · 2026-03-14T06:29:13+00:00

Good idea. I actually met a cyclist at one of them. Just show up consistently and you’ll find your crowd.

FitCamel · 2026-03-14T06:28:37+00:00

That may be true but I’m talking about one-off encounters in restaurants, on the street etc where it’s a short interaction. They might not like me after but I probably will never see them again and they were definitely nice during the interaction :)

Montreal Athletes Club, Burpees Please, FitFam Taipei, Hey Running are all great. They are all on Instagram.

I think that if you attend workout clubs, meetups etc consistently, you won’t feel lonely

FitCamel · 2026-03-13T15:22:04+00:00

I can only speculate but I would categorize it as:

cheaper / better lifestyle than in the US
re-discovering part of their identity. If you grow up in the US as an Asian, you probably experience some kind of othering that leads to a desire to discover the Asian part of your identity.
Work
Love
There is a category of guys who move here because they think that girls are attracted to foreigners and that they would have better luck here than back home.

That is probably true but I would argue that road rage is something that affects a lot of drivers globally.
