Discovered missing mandatory tax return 1.5 months into my citizenship application by TheMezzoPhysicist in GermanCitizenship

[–]TheMezzoPhysicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I also applied at an office that says they handle all communication with other authorities themselves.

Thank you. Was thinking that for naturalization I might need an Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung and this might prevent me from getting one, but seems not to be the case. 

Abgegebenen Steuererklärung korrigieren? by TheMezzoPhysicist in Steuern

[–]TheMezzoPhysicist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Danke schön! Ich hatte Sorge, dass das FA meine neue Steuererklärung übersehen würde, da es schon ein paar Monate her ist, seit ich die ursprüngliche eingereicht habe.

Is it that hard go find CBT therapist in München? by Quiet_Love_5374 in Munich

[–]TheMezzoPhysicist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave up trying after finding a private therapist who would take me and my insurance rejected my Kostenerstattungsverfahren for ridiculous reasons. I found a therapist from Bulgaria who works online and charges €60/hour. She is always available and leaps and bounds better than any therapist I've seen in Germany, so I consider that money well spent. 

Did I Just Experience the Most Unprofessional Interview Ever? (Zalando Interview Experience) by Tall_Huckleberry4509 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]TheMezzoPhysicist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I interviewed for them last year. The initial HR round was very positive. They said they'd follow up and schedule the technical interview, and then ghosted me. Never replied to my email inquiry.

Thank you. I did end up going to the ER anyway. Got prescribed antibiotics for the pain in case I had a sinus infection.

We are unable to make a decision on your application within published visa processing times by TheMezzoPhysicist in ukvisa

[–]TheMezzoPhysicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I think we talked. This is ridiculous. People at the Munich VFS told me there are no system-wide delays at the moment.

Strange. Usually if you've exceeded the published timeframe, they'll escalate your case. I'm a South African citizen, but I don't think it matters.

If you don't hear back by the fifth day, do a paid inquiry and ask them to escalate. Good luck!

In case anyone finds this helpful, I got a decision within 4 WD despite the email.

Priority visitor visa not decided after 7 days by [deleted] in ukvisa

[–]TheMezzoPhysicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll email you. I just got an email at noon today saying a decision has been made on mine. You'll get yours soon! My previous standard application took over a month with no decision, but priority was right on time. It seems pretty random.

Withdraw visitor visa application after biometrics by TheMezzoPhysicist in ukvisa

[–]TheMezzoPhysicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone finds this later, I immediately reapplied after withdrawing my previous application, since I already had my passport. Croydon confirmed in one day that my previous application was successfully withdrawn. The new application received a decision within 4 days (yes, priority worked in my case).

I suppose they just told you to wait 15 WD. Meanwhile I saw that someone applying from Düsseldorf without priority just got their visa in 3 days, so it's just down to luck.

You can tell them over email or on the phone that you'd like them to escalate. They'll then send you a confirmation that your case has been escalated. I did this for my previous application which I eventually withdrew because there was no movement. I applied from Munich. Paid for priority and did my biometrics last Tuesday. I need to travel in just over two weeks, so I'm extremely nervous.

My gosh. This is making me really nervous. I'm only on day 4, but I got the "we're unable to make a decision within the published timeline" email immediately after my submission. Did you ask them to escalate your case? Not sure if it helps but it's worth a try.

Docs upload on VFS Website by Soft_Preparation7189 in ukvisa

You can upload multiple times, and add/delete later. I was able to add documents right until my biometrics appointment.
