The Ausländerbehörde is asking me to submit a "Leben in Deutschland" certificate...

Question

Been living here for almost 7 years on a temporary residence permit (renewable every 2 years). I have submitted my records of pension payments plus payslips...and now they're asking me for a certificate that I passed the Einbürgerungstest. I'm supposed to apply for a Niederlassungserlaubnis, with my B1-Zertifikat already submitted to them.

Does this mean I am already eligible for Einbürgerung?

Comments

I don’t have my naturalization certificate yet and no date to take the test close is possible until June. Is it possible for Ausländerberhörde to still process my 25b residence permit and submit the certificate by email when I get it? Or I will have to wait almost 5 months for the test appointment then another 4-6 months for the results?

Answer 1

If not citizenship then most probably residence permit according to § 25b AufenthG

Other than that, does it really matter? If you have it just submit it to them.

The registration and the result takes time around 2-5 months.

If you do not have it, start learning from here https://deutsch-werden.de/de/einbuergerungstest

The Leben in Deutschland and einbuergerungstest has exactly similar questions. So, don't sweat on the name of the exam.

Can I get my 25b residency permit and submit the Einbürgertest certificate when I get it?
