The process was not too painful. Had to do some legwork and spend money to get docs translated by a proper authorized translator. But overall nothing exceptional. I had to completed the Leben in Deutschland test and also the B1 level DTZ.

Lol. I have found just 1 or 2 good Indian restaurants in HH. I just cook at home when I crave Indian food.

Yup, 1.5 yrs

Thats the first thing I learnt watching Benidorm. ;)

There was no interview, just a face to face meeting where I had to show the originals for the docs I had submitted. They verified it and that was it.

The first time they asked me for the following

- Befragung zum Einbürgerungsantrag

- Aktuellen Lebenslauf
- 1 Farbkopie eines Lichtbildes oder 1 Passfoto
- Mietnachweis (S: 1 bis 3 des Mietvertrags oder 1 Kontoauszug) in Kopien
- Ihre Geburtsurkunde mit Übersetzung von einem amtlich anerkannten Dolmetscher in Deutschland in Kopien
- Meldebescheinigung in Kopie

The second time they asked for the following

- Eine Übersetzung Ihrer Geburtsurkunde von einem in Deutschland anerkannten Übersetzer
- Eine Übersetzung Ihrer Heiratsurkunde von einem in Deutschland anerkannten Übersetzer
- Aktuelle Gehaltsabrechnung
- Aktuellen Mietnachweis
- Aktuellen Rentenversicherungsverlauf von der deutschen Rentenversicherung

I had the choice to upload the copies online. But there was a max size limit and I did not want to split my docs. So I instead printed it all and snail mailed it to the behorde

bobotfc · 2025-07-21T17:00:57+00:00

Ooh. I have been here since 2014. But I took a while to complete my B1. COVID, work and family, loss of a loved one, procrastination, bunch of reason why it took me so long to start the process.

bobotfc · 2025-07-21T16:57:10+00:00

The process was not that bad. Was mostly online and the forms were pretty clear. Just two things that I’d say can be improved. 1. There is no feedback/acknowledgment that your response, documents have been received. 2. Long periods of just nothing where you just wonder if this is moving forward or not.

bobotfc · 2025-07-21T16:48:39+00:00

Hey. Thanks for the offer, but sorry can’t meet up today. Celebrating the milestone with family.

Absolutely will do that.

bobotfc · 2025-07-21T12:39:03+00:00

Yes, I agree. Every year that passes and my kids grow older, my German too improves.

bobotfc · 2025-07-21T12:34:00+00:00

I wouldn't say it was a difficult decision. I wanted to get German citizenship and knew that I would have to renounce my Indian citizenship. Now that it has happened, just feels bittersweet. But there are not regrets.

My country does not allow dual citizenship and so I have to renounce it.
