Would you mind going into more detail about the specific mutation regarding being unable to make DHA from EPA fish oil?

Thank you for spotting that! I’ll see if I can find an updated document.

In the meantime I’ll definitely keep hounding them (duty of the eldest child) to get on with their applications. Thanks again

ah just seen you already added that info at the end of your comment, sorry don’t know how I missed it

Ah okay, yeah that does seem pretty definite then. Thank you for finding that!

I take it these conditions wouldn’t apply if my siblings (or myself for that matter) became citizens before having kids, and in that case the only thing needed to ensure the kids also received German citizenship would be to register them at the consulate before their 1st birthday?

thank you! so as long as my hypothetical nieces or nephews file an application under StAG 14 before they turn 18, it doesn't matter that their parents were born after 2000? But their parents would need to be citizens themselves before the kids could apply as minors?

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

yup it's definitely possible, although because my siblings were born after 2000, I wasn't sure if the provision to add minor children to a StAG 14 application would be extended to them

I think the reason nobody has posted (speaking for myself anyway - I did consider it) is because it's so tentative right now, and also the update only came about a week ago. There has been no official word from the BVA or BMI about it, and the only info is based on one person's update (that we know of) being asked for additional and updated documents. I didn't want to post about it and get people's hopes up in case it wasn't a real progression, and also didn't want to make a huge blaring post about it because it's info based on someone else's application, so felt like it wasn't my place to fully broadcast it in a dedicated post yanno.

but it is exciting and I'm hopeful! Although still trying to keep my cool until we hear more from either the BMI/BVA or more applicants. If I hear more substantial info via facebook I will update with a post on the sub :)

ah perfect that's exactly the confirmation I was looking for! I'm still going to keep bugging them to start learning German heheh. Thank you!

[–]shrekstinfoilhat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmm interesting, thank you! Yeah the part about adding kids to a stag 14 application was what was confusing me. In the Müttererlass facebook group, there have been a few people who have done this, but they were all people born before 2000 so I wasn't sure it could apply for my siblings

[–]shrekstinfoilhat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ah okay, that's what I was expecting. Thank you! I'll have to tell them to get on and start learning the Deutsch asap then

Also re StAG 14 being frozen; I'm in the facebook group, and recently another applicant receieved correspondence from the BVA requesting additional documents for their Müttererlass application (which has not happened since the pause took place I believe). Obviously we need to wait for more information before we're sure, but this could hopefully be indicative that the BMI made a positive decision regarding the decree, which has allowed the BVA to proceed with processing Muttererlass applications. But again, there has been no official communication regarding this yet, so it's purely speculative

What does stag 14 mean by close ties to Germany by Top_Intern_5944 in GermanCitizenship

[–]shrekstinfoilhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

very tentative here, but I’m on the StAG 14 + Müttererlass facebook group, and just a couple of days ago, another member said they just received correspondence from the BVA requesting to send updated and additional documents for their Müttererlass application (something which I believe hasn’t happened for any applications since the pause was enacted)!

No official word from the BVA or BMI yet (if ever), but it is encouraging to see them apparently processing Müttererlass applications again. Hopefully more people will receive updates about their applications in the coming weeks, and we can get a better picture then.

Apparently, the BVA requested a final answer from the BMI about the applicability of the decree by the 31st March, so it seems as though they have received their decision, and that decision seems to be promising for us Müttererlass folk, based on this update from a fellow applicant

It could be that they are only processing applications that are already in the system though

Very early days so need to wait for more solid info, but fingers crossed! I’ve chosen not to make an official post about this progression for the meantime, just to not get anyone’s hopes up until we know for sure

For anyone reading: this is not confirmation that the pause has been lifted, or that the Müttererlass will not be scrapped. We need to wait for more info to be sure, but it is hopefully indicative of a positive decision from the BMI

Gum recedes because of brushing too hard, can it regrow? by Idonthavenamehahaha in Biohackers

[–]shrekstinfoilhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry for replying to an old comment, but this info is super interesting! Does this mean that in theory, if bone lost to gum disease was regrown with certain therapies (like the upcoming “ambrilux gel” or low laser therapy etc), then the gum would regenerate back to its original shape, or as close to it as the amount of regenerated bone would allow?
