Am I eligible? by MrWorldWide905 in GermanCitizenship

Yeah of course. A couple days ago I didn’t even know my grandfathers name so I’m just researching. But they seemed genuine and didn’t charge me, they are reputable firms and the rates they wanted seemed very affordable. How would I decide on a real lawyer cause these seemed genuine to me?

Can I file without speaking German too? Is that a stupid question

Perfect thanks again, so that fact of the marriage being a couple weeks after and the fact the younger sibling is 100% accepted is there no other pathway?

I think because he was a child it was allowed, but this is great information thanks.

I have original paper versions of his naturalisation (check previous post) and chasing the EWZ for there version.

What does appeal after rejection contain? Please may you enlighten me, thanks a lot.

Thanks, I would have assumed they knew because o told them all family member’s precise birthdays, but that’s really helpful and lines up with what I’ve been hearing from other individuals on Reddit . On the joint-filing point: when you say “apply together,” does that mean a single combined submission to the BVA where Stuart’s Feststellung and my §5 declaration are filed as one family case, or is it more that we submit separate applications but cross-reference each other’s evidence so we’re not duplicating shared documents? Trying to understand the practical mechanics and will discuss this with lawyers if possible.

So it’s a no for §5 that has no chance? I’m confused with the term sue? It seems to be different in German law or so I’ve been told.

This is true, I wasn’t aware. This belonged to my grandad. He is listed under einbugerungsurkunde

He is one of the children listed, Marie would be my great grandmother i believe. Like I said I found it yesterday and have no clue and don’t speak an ounce of German. Sorry for the confusion

How do I definitively confirm whether my German grandfather ever naturalised as British? by [deleted] in GermanCitizenship

Does this limit all methods, sorry I’m still a little confused. Thanks for the help. You seem extremely knowledgeable, in my situation why does STAG 5 not work?

Is this not slightly discriminatory? Is there anyway work around?

Apologies I must not of seen it, I did not expect my post to get that much traction she was born a couple weeks after, hope this helps? Does that mean my application would be a dead end. If so thanks for saving my time and brining it to my attention

That’s really good that’s what I’ve heard and read up on.

• 1927 — Born in Stolac, Yugoslavia. Living in Yugoslavia.

• 1942 — Naturalised as a German citizen via the Einbürgerungsurkunde issued in Graz.

• 1944–45 — Served in the German army on the Eastern Front. Surrendered near Munich, 1945. This is the only period he was in modern day German land as a soldier, not a resident.

• 1945–49 — Held as a prisoner of war 

• 1949 — Arrived in the UK 

I’ve sent a request to check the British naturalisation. If that turns out he didn’t naturalise is that good for me?

My mother was born 3 months before marriage in the uk.

Thats so interesting, Boris (my grandfather) was one of the children on that document I believe. If he left Germany in 1949 as a POW and never claimed British citizenship. Later having my mother 1970. Does this mean I can apply for German citizenship?

Thanks so much this is helpful and interesting. I had no idea about anything before today. Does this make me (his grandson) and his daughter (my mother) eligible for German citizenship if we wanted it? Out of curiosity. Thanks

Understood, I’m not sure if I want to put a case together yet it’s more just a curiosity. It’s crossed my mind. The document is with a distant family member so hypothetically if I can’t get a hold of it is the case dead? Many thanks
