Hello @williamreisefuehrer ,

thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that it is taking so long. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you how long the procedure takes. This depends on the authorities. However, if it is taking too long you might want to consider doing what is called an “Untätigkeits Klage” this is a law suit against the authorities when they do not act. However, it is important that you talk to a lawyer before doing this, as this could make the process even longer.

You mentioned you did the fast-track procedure with your employer, correct? It is unusual for it to take this long. If you have received the Vorabzustimmung you need to just hand in the necessary documents at the German embassy. And You should receive the visa in 3 weeks if you have handed in all the documents.

More information on the fast-track procedure can be found here: https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/looking-for-foreign-professionals/entering/the-fast-track-procedure-for-skilled-workers

Maybe some other community members have had similar experiences and can help you further.

Best wishes
