I applied for my citizenship on the 01.03.21.

First of all, i want to thank the creator of this website and the moderators making it possible for us to be able to continue in assisting each other with the update application processing of our applied citizenships by sharing our different journeys from all over Germany, delays as well as our progress.

I hope someday that the creator of this website would be able to expand this forum in to a bigger platform by creating a YouTube channel where we will be able to reach out to more hundreds or even thousands of other people out there who have no ideal about this website. 

I personally happens to stubble across this website while desperately trying to find out any information on "how long it takes to receive German citizenship after the application" ? 

So, to the point. I applied for my German citizenship on the 01.03.21.  I presented my last two payslips on the 26.01.23.

They sent me a letter confirming that I should come and collect my certificate of naturalization on the 09.03.23 or 10.03.23 i believe.

The DHL tracking App notified me that i will be receiving a letter on the 11.03.23 from the  Government of Middle Franconia (Regierung Mittelfranken). Here comes the interesting part. But the letter never arrived.

My letter have never, ever gone missing before. But yet for some reason, this letter  which I waited for, for over 2 years decided to go missing in action. I was supposed to receive this letter from DHL on the 11.03.23 of March, but it didn't arrive and this was really, really strange. Because when I normally get a post notification, i receive the letter on that same day or at least the next day.

After waiting for almost 2 weeks, i called the Foreign office in Middle Franconia ( Regierung Mittelfranken ) and they actually confirmed that they posted the letter on the 09.03.23 or 10.03.23. I called DHL and they said that if i didn't receive the letter on the 11.03.23, which means it's lost.

I called the Foreign office in Middle Franconia ( Regierung Mittelfranken ) and told them to send me the letter again, but this time around through my email address, which they did. 

The lady in the foreign office ( Ausländerbehörde ) here in my city, Fürth where i applied for my citizenship told me on the phone that she will need to see the letter i received from the Government of Middle Franconia ( Regierung Mittelfranken ) before issuing me the certificate of naturalization. I quickly printed it out and made an appointment to collect my certificate of naturalization.

I collected my certificate of naturalization on the 27.03.23. 

For those of you who might have questions, please check my previous comments on this thread ( under the username "Esther7" i started commenting here either from 2021 or 2022 ) which i wrote both in English and in German. I explained all the process i went through. Because of work +  school, i wouldn't be able to reply to comments as i would have like to.

I wish all of you God's favor and success in the application processing of your citizenships.

Keep hoping and waiting. Never Give Up. Your time will come.
