Consulate General of Germany

You just need to prove your parents were German. Make an appointment and they will tell you what documents you need to do so. They will ask for stuff like your birth certificate, your parent’s birth certificate, your parent’s marriage certificate, death certificate. I did it recently.

Well, you just have to call the embassy and they'll give you a appointment. For normal you get some papers to sign and you can go to get the passport.

Hi yea travel is allowed but you must be either vaccinated, recoverd from Covud19 or tested negative (PCR test)They will check this at your destination airport as far as I know.

As far as I know you need to make an appointment by phone for that and the appointment will be in the morning. So between 9 and 12 am. They speak English there of course

John, I am looking for the answer to that same question. I am continuing to try to get a person to speak to at the German Embassy office in Chicago. Covid has made things challenging.

Yes, you can get dual citizenship you just need to get paperwork from your mother and your paperwork for checking with the people at the office Theres more on the consulate website Have a great day!

Only if you want to stay longer than three months

This feels like a better question for the consulate itself. I'm assuming when you became a US citizen you didn't file to retain German citizenship and were denied?

You need to contact the Standesamt from the city she was born.

They have everything online. Or you can make an appointment online.

Hi as I'm not working at the Embassy I really can't answer this correctly. Please point thus question to them directly.

Yes, if a couple of conditions are met: Your Chinese Passport is still valid for at least 3 months AFTER your return You primary RESIDENCE is in Illinois, Indiana or Wisconsin Your L-1 allows reentry to the US after the trip Germany must be the FIRST country you enter or the Schengen country you plan on staying in the longest

I'm by far no expert but as far as I know, that is an issue to discuss with USCIS state side and with the US embassy in Germany (as Derek pointed out). However, be prepared for them to potentially want her to give up her green card if she's been outside the US for more than a year...covid might create an exemption... Fingers crossed, man - good luck!

Contact the embassy. Most likely you'll need to schedule an appointment, appointments only available two weeks in advance. https://www.germany.info/us-en/embassy-consulates/generalkonsulat3?openAccordionId=item-1335458-2-panel

You could go to either, so whichever one is closer. https://www.germany.info/us-en/embassy-consulates this link will give you locations.

Yes you do need shengen visa before you leave US.

Yes, you can! Just avoid super bulky items.

Are you replacing a lost passport? Then maybe. If not, then no, you can't just apply for a passport without being a citizen. Even as a citizen, if you don't have an existing passport it all has to go through Germany and takes 6-8 weeks.

Your reviews are bad and you should stay out of New York lmfao

Yes

You should ask directly to them on their contact form. They usually reply one day after.

Yes you should apply for it

Yes, you have to have everything with you. It's best to go to their website, everything is described.

Probably talk to them directly about this. Check website for contact details. Temporary or emergency passports are given in a case to case basis

It depends on where you are from, or the country who has issued you a passport https://traveltips.usatoday.com/can-permanent-resident-travel-europe-visa-108350.html

They can cut, but I suggest you could read the specifications and do it yourself before visiting; cut it to 45mm * 35mm with 80% length should be covered by the face. Keep a spare one in case they want to cut it themselves.

you must live in Germany for several years... https://www.germany-visa.org/german-citizenship/

No. To the best of my knowledge parents ONLY. Some countries allow citizenship through grandparents, but not Germany. I'm not an expert by any means on this subject, but I'm pretty certain it's through parents only.

It should be possible if you have documentation of that - you should call the embassy

You/your wife should go to a German “Standesamt” to find out more. Berlin is quite big and it was before the 2world war so there might be no paperwork that survived as there was a lot of bombing of Berlin 😢

Yes, I think so, visa is not required for German passport holders, take a look at this link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_German_citizens

You should schedule the appointment for the 26th, which most probably would be enough to get your visa. And Also, keep checking on the website, you could get something earlier too, when cancellations come up, they open up the slots. Good luck.

We got ours in 7 business days. This includes shipping time. If you can collect it from the consulate, it should a day or 2 lesser. So seems fine, but Thanksgiving holidays might impact the timing..?

The requirements are given on their website. They are specific on the height of the face in the photo.

The best would be to call the German Konsulate in your town or the closest one. I was still a German citizen, when my kids were born, so they automatically got Dual American and German citizenship and still have both years later. The American one from being born here, and the German one through me.

Yep ,i got it innless than 24 hrs

Passport photos can be taken at most FedEx Kinkos office supply stores. They are made to US passport specifications. I brought the photos into the German Consulate and they simply cut them down to size to fit in the German Passport. It will cost you about $15-$20 USD for photos.

Im not a immigration expert by any means, but from what I know she would need to apply for an "Adjustment of Status". Basically visa status adjusted to resident status. This would be based on her situation and conditions. I would definitely check with an immigration attorney or ask a professional to see if this is possible.

Yes you are you can become half a american,dual citizenship!

I have not got a confirmation number for the 7May

Yes you do, since 9/11 they require you to be there in person.

An appointment is necessary for the processing of most legal and consular matters at the Consulate General in Chicago.

They will give you a USPS shipping label to fill out.
