Nobody picks up the phone during working hours. Very difficult as a German citizen to get help. Was wondering if the consulate is still operating.

They sent my passport with paper file which is not water resistant and very cheap. If you are giving a service please give a good service. Your service represent your country. Consulate represents its country with all aspects. I sent $100 with my application, you invited me for fingerprint(which was not expected since I had a Schengen visa before) I said I could not come right now due to work. You sent my passport with poor package and with $15. Where is my remaining money?

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I am the daughter of German Jews who fled Germany in June, 1938. I have my father's birth certificate, my parents marriage certificate, my father's German passport with J, my birth c. Do I apply for me and my brother or does he apply separately.

Amei Wallach | Oct 1, 2020
nic locke | Oct 1, 2021

I have a similar background and I am going through the process of naturalization. You will have to apply separately, but I understand it is helpful if siblings cross reference each other in their applications. The respondent below clearly is unaware that the children of german jews rendered stateless by the Third Reich are, with some stipulations, entitled to apply for German citizenship. Good fortune to you.

Peter, When I went to the Consulate, I was offered 2 choices. 1) To come pick it up personally or 2) have it sent via FedEx which costs around $20.00. The process of getting your Passport (once the decision is approved) I was told, takes 6 weeks.

I had contacted you by phone,way back about the Hacker Jan leyk. I mad a cyberspace with the FBI.on line. Now it's a year later and I have unfortunately no results. Jan Leyk.is a well known Person from his former reality show Tag und.Nacht.in Germany. Also known as a Criminal. I believe he has moved to Spain, because Spain has no Extradition with Germany. I have a right as a Human being, to live with out being Terrorized by a hacker Jan Leyk,who has military warfare information. Especially I did some research,and come by Andy Grennberg Article from Forbes Magazine" How to hijack the Sky." I had know Idea,what a hacker can do,and how dangerous at is Evil,wicked, Veil, and anything you can think of criminal wise. We go to the Moon,I believe we can bring that Person to stop that madness. So many People getting hurt for no reason,besides myself. I was over a year ago on a blog with him.I had no knowledge about his Evil background. Sincerely Christa Boock. ur

Afaik: no. Bundespolizei distinguishes between pressing and non-pressing reasons to enter Germany. If you intend to wed your fiancee in Germany, I think you are allowed to enter. Else they let you in as German citizen or resident or to begin employment or training. Visiting friends and family: not pressing. I live in NYC and can enter Germany as I please, but my wife, not German citizen, cannot

S R | Oct 2, 2019

You will need to apply for visa as a regular applicant. I dont think having a US GC entitles one to special accomodations for a German Visa. Things change only if you are an American Citizen. I may be wrong though. Would suggest you to call their number (found in google search) and speak to someone there. They are extremely helpful.
