Visa & Residence

Niederlassungserlaubnis Proceeding Time

I submitted my application for a permanent residence permit at the on December 12, 2024. During the appointment, my fingerprints and signature were taken and paid the fees.

As I was informed by my case worker that I would receive feedback within a week. However, it's been nearly 3 weeks now and I haven't received any updates. I heard that many people got the approvals right after giving biometrics data. But why in my case, I hadn't got the response like that? Or how long does usually the Sicherheitsüberprüfung takes? Thanks in advance.

Hello @Superduperr  
thank you for your question. I understand your worries. As you posted this question on the 28th of December, I assume you went to give your biometric data in December?

Most of the authorities do not process applications over the holidays, which makes the waiting period longer in your case. They will be available again from January the 2nd, so you can check if you receive a letter in the first two weeks of January.

Kind regards
Daniela
