The Situation
Why Do Naturalization Cases Often Drag On for Years?
Immigration authorities across Germany are overloaded. If you simply wait, you lose time. If you track deadlines and prepare applications correctly, you can shorten the process.
Without Guidance
- Wait times of 2 to 4 years often with no visible progress
- Incomplete documents lead to follow-up requests and new delays
- No legal recourse against an unresponsive authority
With Attorney Guidance
- Application is prepared completely and correctly the first time
- Deadlines are actively monitored and authorities are reminded
- If the authority is unresponsive, an inaction lawsuit remains open

Good to Know
Three Things Many People Don't Know About Naturalization
Nationality Law
Holding Multiple Nationalities Is Now the Norm
Since the reform of the Nationality Act, most applicants no longer need to give up their previous nationality when naturalizing.
Administrative Procedure
Authority Inaction Can Be Challenged
If an immigration authority fails to process your case for an extended period without sufficient reason, an inaction lawsuit before the administrative court can move things forward.
Naturalization Test
Not Everyone Has to Take It
Anyone who has already completed a German school diploma or a degree in Germany is exempt from the naturalization test under certain conditions.
Why Us
Attorney-Led, Not Just Advisory
Nihat Kaygalak, LL.M. — Attorney at Law
The key difference from many naturalization advisory services: your case is handled by a licensed attorney, not just an advisory office. That means that in the event of delays or refusals, we can use legal remedies not available to a pure advisory service — such as an inaction lawsuit against an overloaded authority.
