Hallo all experts,

I am in germany since September 2005.

2.5 Years as a Studen and till now almost 3 years as Employee. I have uneingeschränkt arbeitserlaubnis. So far I have paid 55 Rente(as i worked as HiWi in university during my study time).

after 5 months i will be going to apply for Niederlasungserlaubnis.

in September this year 2011 i will be 6 years in germany. I have read some where that as per new rules one can even get german citizenship in 6 years time. can some one please share his experience in this regard.

I have done german language course till level B1 and have passed Deutsch Test für Zuwanderer. I did not take part in OrientationsKurs. (I did my course not as part of integrationsprogram, i did it volenterily to improve my language skills).

Thanking in advance
khan

in 8 Years is normal, but depends on the state where you live as some states do not include student time.

7 Years is possible with a Integration course. So you have to do a orientierungs course to get the Integration course certificate.

6 Years is unrealistic and unkown.

I am in Stuttgart, Baden Würtemberg. Do they consider Student Time Full.

From where can i get Integration Course Certificate. Is Oriantation course must?

in BW they consider students time as half.
best of luck

There is a department of integration in each town and they can give you (or you can try to find it in internet as well) the language schools who are having this course. I didn't participate in the classes and studied by myself, but you can get there for free if you apply through your ausländerbehörde.
there are 250 questions and in each time 25 of them will be chosen for the test.
Good luck

After you finish your orientierungskurs, you can send copies of both your B1 and Orientierungskurs to one of the following address and ask them to issue a Integration course certificate. Then you are eligible to apply in 7 Years.

thanks all,

I have some where read that in BW they consider student time as HALF for niederlassungserlaubnis, but for Einbürgerung they consider it FULL. Now how to confirm if for Einbürgerung it is FULL or HALF.

thanks and regards

@ thekhan01

Visit the Einbürgerungamt and you will get all information's required to process the application. They will also tell you whether they will consider student time or not.

@khan

You are eligible for citizenship according to the 7 years rule only in Sept 2012. So what is your hurry now. Your aim for now should be

1. Get NE when eligible
2. Get Integration course certificate
3. Get the Einbürgerungstest certificate
and then
4. make an appointment to see if the consider the student time and apply

so lucky.
in Sachsen, you may submit now and expect to be called in 1,5 - 2 years.

Raj,

How about Ermessenseinbürgerung ?

Is the minimum number of years of continuous stay 5 or 6 years here, in order to apply for Ermessenseinbürgerung ?

@truster

>>Is the minimum number of years of continuous stay 5 or 6 years here, in order to apply for Ermessenseinbürgerung ?

the no of years depends on your status...for exg 3 year for people having german partner, 6 years for Asyl, 4 years for people from german speaking countries, 3 yrs for sportspersons or scientists who are extraordinary importance for the german government(have to be approved by a seperate dept)

thanks Raj !

Ermessenseinbürgerung for someone having Niederlassungserlaubnis für Hochqualifizierte Leitende Angestellte.
Do you think one can one apply for it after 5years of stay here ?

Yes, it is always possible. If i remeber correctly user rajeshspg got it a while back. So nothing lost in trying.

@ Truster

You can get apply for citizenship after 6 years with NE §19. But it is painstaking and takes around 1-1.5 yrs. It is better to apply through normal channel with less paper work.

Good Luck

do we have o do orienterung mkurs for citizenship?

A follow question, if someone attends universty in germany and marries a german, they still need to take integration course.

I read vaguely somewhere that if one did university in a german uni, integration course is not necessary.

Could someone please comment on this, many thanks.

anyone? any comments please
