„(3) Weist ein Ausländer durch die Bescheinigung des Bundesamtes für Migration und Flüchtlinge die erfolgreiche Teilnahme an einem Integrationskurs nach, wird die Frist nach Absatz 1 auf sieben Jahre verkürzt. Bei Vorliegen besonderer Integrationsleis- tungen, insbesondere beim Nachweis von Sprach- kenntnissen, die die Voraussetzungen des Absatzes 1 Satz 1 Nr. 6 übersteigen, kann sie auf sechs Jahre ver- kürzt werden.“

6 years rule will be applied in cases where an applicant is extremely well integrated in Germany.

This extremely well Integration(Besondere Integrationsleistungen) will be evaluated by the naturalization office and the final decision will be at their discretion.

The expectations from an applicant who wants to be naturalized after 6 years are not %100 clear at the moment, as the so called "Anwendungshinweise" of the law is not published yet. This will also take same time.

But it looks like, a German language Certificate of level B2 or higher will be prerequisite for such an application. Other supporting documents which show the applicant is well integrated will also increase the chance of the applicant. Those supporting documents are membership or responsibility in a German community(Verein), a job in a German speaking business environment. University Degree from a German University.. Maybe also supporting document from the employer etc. etc.. as I said, it will be at the end a decision at the discretion of the government office.

I have been following this 6 Years thing for a long time now. You can also see my posting regarding it in info4alien.de and a recent posting there asking a similar question.

Hi pwehrli,
You are welcome.. any time.. ;)

I am not sure whether the ABH would be the right address to ask such a question. Naturalization issues are handled by a different government office named Einbürgerungsbehörde.. (EBH) there should be also one in your City.. they are sometimes in the same building with the ABH..

@lacrima,
regarding this new law, what applies to the Ehefrau.

Does this "Deutsche Zertifikat B1" applies to everybody > 16.

Because, still, on "Einbürgerung.de", you find that the Ehepartner and Kinder will be given "Erleichterung bzgl. Sprachkenntnis".

Gruss,
A.T

Part of it, for example daueraufenthalt added under §9 as §9a which is ALREADY practiced in some states like Hessen, NRW since some time emoticon

No reason for making it wait 1 month or so. It officially became law. Not sure if anwendungshinweis exists but it should be.

as usual individuals are interested in their own benefits, yourself like spouse FZF visum conditions, my problem einbürgerung etc.

if the application for FZF visum was made before yesterday, then no use of the new law, but if it is going to be made after yesterday, then the ABH should answer this.

@mgermany

don't know about BW, but if a proposed law is passed than DE citizenship can be obtained even in a short time of 4 years, see for example,

@havehope

Hey!

as far as I know, these days B1 is a must even to get citizenship after 8 years stay. So my advice take some time out and give your B1 exam, if you are in DE for lets say 7 years than it should be a piece of cake for you, besides you don't need to attend a course, just directly register for B1 exam (same procedure like TOEFL, IELTS etc)
