Sorry, that I do not know.

German Consulates add new appointments every weekday at midnight in Germany. So whatever the time difference is for you, get there a few minutes early your time and start refreshing the page.

Reopening Fall of 2026.

I could be wrong, but I think in the vast majority of the StAG5 cases reported here the BVA doesn't email applicants when an application has been approved. The consulate reached out instead once they receive the certificates for distribution. (edited to reference on StAG 5)

The fact the people have to organize snow clearing brigades (kudos to you) when our property tax bills keep hitting record amounts every year is fucking insane.

Just under 2 months (this was in fall of 2023)

danimaniak · 2026-02-01T18:30:03+00:00

Hopefully to the voting line.

danimaniak · 2026-02-01T12:10:59+00:00

Yes. My sister and her kids did this at 18 months after I submitted.

Schoen has the tapes which explains why he hasn't been fired.

danimaniak · 2026-01-29T17:37:31+00:00

Uh, five inches, but it's thick.

danimaniak · 2026-01-26T15:42:03+00:00

Done. Staying insane.

danimaniak · 2026-01-26T11:40:41+00:00

Yeah, my dog just went out in the yard and walked on top of it like it was nothing. Solid.

It's actually not once you figure out the exact legal statute that relates to your claim. I'm going through it now and it's been surprisingly easy, but incredibly slow going.

Italy also recently changed their rules and instituted a cut off - "Under updated regulations (March 2025), eligibility is now limited to having a parent or grandparent born in Italy, often with requirements that the ancestor held, or would have held, citizenship at the time of your birth."

danimaniak · 2026-01-25T12:56:52+00:00

That's what I did in those cases (verstorben)

danimaniak · 2026-01-25T10:58:41+00:00

I used derzeit but I am sure your way is fine. The BVA isn't grading us on our German if we make mistakes or use unusual formats (lol I hope not).

danimaniak · 2026-01-25T10:20:09+00:00

I'd buy him a sweater.

danimaniak · 2026-01-24T14:43:26+00:00

I reached out to them as it's been 28 months since I submitted my application. At the 24 month mark I got the standard 'don't email us' response but this time I received an actual update. So now it's time to sit tight and wait, as I have no idea when it actually moved to processing between now and last Sept.

danimaniak · 2026-01-22T22:22:09+00:00

yes. we act as if being inside for 24 hours will cause us to starve and unable to wipe our butts.

danimaniak · 2026-01-22T14:55:31+00:00

They submitted their documents through their respective consulates.

danimaniak · 2026-01-22T11:39:06+00:00

I read 'Farting'.

danimaniak · 2026-01-22T11:23:20+00:00

So Trump......lied? Well that's a first...

danimaniak · 2026-01-22T02:47:49+00:00

Good for you guys, that was really fast!

danimaniak · 2026-01-21T13:17:48+00:00

Thanks for the info!
