Ich lebe jetzt seit 10 Jahren in Deutschland und verlängere meinen Aufenthaltstitel immer ohne Probleme. Ich habe geplant, es dieses Jahr zu verlängern, habe den Antrag aber noch nicht abgeschickt. Ich kam gerade von der Arbeit nach Hause und fand einen Brief vom Amt für Migration und Integration mit einem Termin für eine Niederlassungserlaubnis. Was erstaunlich ist, wenn es wahr ist. Ich habe zwei Fragen: Ist das normal? Bekommen Menschen solche unerwünschten Briefe/Termine? Die zweite Frage ist: Sie verlangen den Integrationstest, den ich natürlich noch nicht habe, da alles aus heiterem Himmel kommt. Würde meine Ausbildung hier ausreichen, wenn sie Deutschunterricht und Sozialkunde beinhaltete? (Außerdem habe ich 2017 einen B2-Test gemacht, das ist also das einzige Deutschzertifikat, das ich habe). Alles andere ist fertig.
Für alle Erkenntnisse wäre ich dankbar.

I did a intensive German lessons to get into the minimum A1, and at my Niederlassungserlaubnis appointment, i failed to understand almost all German questions… I will not lie, there was a little disappoitment on the person face, but she switched to english and it was as smooth as this til the end.
Comparing with other friends i think i got luck!
IMHO, If you have B2 level, i think you will be just fine!
I had similar experince in Potsdam. But it was in 2020. And i’ve also heard 2 more perople having the same experience in Potsdam. I would say it’s normal for small or reletavely small cities.
At the moment they did not asked me for any integration or german course.
You’re the chosen one
Don’t quote me on this but I _think_ that some German education qualifies as a replacement for integration course/einburgeringstest?.
Other than that, I’d honestly just show up and see how it goes. Clerks have the power to waive some requirements on the spot so if your German is good, you explain the situation and that this came out of the blue you might get lucky. Worst case scenario you lose a couple hours of your day.
The integration test is not a linguistic test. It’s a series of questions, from memory 33 questions (all multiple choice) and tests you on knowledge of the law, rights, politics, history and so on. You have 1 hour to complete the test but usually people finish within 10 minutes.
There are online tests to help you practise, so many people even without speaking German or understanding the questions, learn by rote. The 33 questions come from a bank of 300 set questions so it’s just luck of the draw which 33 you get.
I am not sure if you can skip this, given that it’s not a linguistic test as mentioned but good luck with it all!
Yes, no reason to be afraid. Be glad they gave you a Termin and you don´t have to beg for one.
Making an educated guess, the fact that you recently renewed your Aufenthaltserlaubnis probably triggered this.
The Ausländerbehörde wants people like you to have Niederlassungserlaubnis, bc it means less work for them in the future.
A lot of people in your position don’t realise they can or should (!!!) apply for Niederlassungserlaubnis, so this is Ausländerbehörde’s way of dealing with this particular problem.
Just appear for Einbürgerungstest. It is super easy and costs only 25€. You can take it anywhere in Germany. If you search a bit and open to travel, you should be able to do it before your termin.
sursprisingly it is in Nürnberg. OOT, I think their ABH accelerates some process. I sent application for the eAT extension in November, got response in December, invited for March.
Before, we waited 18 months for the appointment invitation.
