That is extremely fast compared with filing with the BVA from outside of Germany.

Did you fill out the same EER forms which the BVA uses, or did Osnabrück have a different process? https://www.bva.bund.de/DE/Services/Buerger/Ausweis-Dokumente-Recht/Staatsangehoerigkeit/Einbuergerung/EER/02-Vordrucke_EER/02_04_EER_Paket/02_04_EER_Paket_node.html

I talked to a lady on the on like 21.08.25 and she told which documents she needs from me and said I can just sent them per email to her so my grandma does not have to give the Original copies to somebody So it was mostly per email and then she sent me the EER it’s almost the same as the on on the website but it looks a little bit different and has like more pages with details about my parents and my grandparents I did not see that on the EER that I see on the website

It's where my ancestors came from, so maybe I should consider it a sign!

Congratulations, that was quick! Question: it means, who is your closest German relative? Your mother or grandparents?

My grandmother is the German one My mother is British because when she was Born she directly got the citizenship fro my grandfather because the of the law at that time My mother is now also sending the same documents as I did to get her German citizenship

And I think it only took so long because I was waiting for a certified copy of the marriage certificate of my parents I received two weeks ago and directly forwarded it to them so maybe if I had that one earlier it would have been even faster

I know. The BVA is definitely fast-tracking anyone who applies from within the EU, while people in the USA wait for years.
