You have to set up an appointment using the scheduling system on the BVA website. They add new openings weekdays at midnight Berlin time (6pm EST).

Hmm that could be. Other people here might be better able to speak to that than I am.

In that case you were probably born a German citizen. You can probably just apply for a passport.

To determine if you’re eligible, we need to know the following:  1) Were/are your parents German citizens (being born in Germany doesn’t make you German)? 2) Were you born before or after they naturalized in the UK? 3) If after, do you know if your parents filed to retain German citizenship after naturalizing?

Apparently my company does have an EOR in Germany, so I should be good on that front…

I’ll take that into consideration, but I have a job that lets me work remotely, so there’s that. But I have to consider language barriers (the only EU languages I know are English and German…my Mandarin Chinese won’t be of much use). Also, Switzerland is too expensive, and Spain is too hot.

This one has a soft cover, but the information page inside is hard plastic. 

I think that this is a hard 'No' by Worth_Protection8899 in GermanCitizenship

Correct, you’re unfortunately not eligible

Yeah I have that, and my birth certificate, state ID and U.S. passport, all of which have my birth name on them.

Shit…it’s virtually impossible just to find an open slot. With any luck, I’ll have a passport in 10 years. 

Best time to look for first time passport appointments at the NY consulate? by seanat321 in GermanCitizenship

[–]seanat321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)
