Hello Joman,
we are glad to hear from you. First of all, we would like to say that we can't make a general valid statement because we don't know your individual case and we can't make a person-related advice on Wefugees. But of course we are happy to give you an experience and help you with further questions about the application for German citizenship :)
One question, have you already got an appointment for the Staatsbürgerschafttest (citizenship test) and are you already preparing for it?
In most cases you can take an integration course to prepare for the test. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
Here you can also find a questionnaire for test preparation: ****://oet.bamf.de/ords/oetut/f?p=514:1:17340106605012:::::
You must renounce your previous citizenship in order to get the German citizenship.
In addition, we advise you to seek professional assistance from naturalization experts or lawyers, who can also tell you more precisely how long the process will take.
The process will take, I think we can say that much.
Here you will find more information: https://***.make-it-in-germany.***/en/visa-residence/living-permanently/naturalisation/process
Maybe this question on Wefugees can help you as well: https://***.wefugees.de/813819/einbürgerung-aufenthaltsgewährung-nachhaltiger-integration?show=813819#q813819
Dear @mbeon-éanna maybe you want to add something?
I hope to have helped you now and wish you all the best!
With warm regards
Saskia
