Ah I am really sorry to hear that OP, what a shower of scheisse.
My Swedish citizenship application has stalled, applied in March and have heard nothing. I should be fine as I have children, a house and a job here, so I am largely ignorant of the Brexit uncertainty. It sounds awful though. Best of luck
Thanks for your sympathy, folks.
I’m shocked that carpenters in Munich earn under €1500 a month!
Have spoken to one guy about getting a permanent contract and chucking the job as soon as the citizenship paperwork goes through. He was saying that if I'm being paid 1500 it's costing him about 1300-1400 on top due to all the extra taxes that he needs to pay.
Generally speaking, taxes here are high. On 1500 gross you'd be looking at around 950-1000€ a month net.
Marry a German?
Have obviously spoken about this, but stupidly they only look at the two years prior to the paperwork being handed in /application made. So we were not married then so that's that. Getting married now wouldn't help.
And besides even if we had been married I still wouldn't qualify. They total up the combined income after tax and then split it 50/50. GF was previously working in social care which is noble, but pays shite. Now I'm back earning, yet she is now unemployed.
Oh, and forgot the * in my last post.... So here it is.
* the lady dealing with my case is Spanish....! Not a single German sounding name anywhere in one of her four very Spanish sounding names. The irony!

Often the way, pulling up the drawbridge after they've crossed!
Good luck Alpin. I’ve got my Irish paperwork back so I’m also officially an Irish citizen now. Just waiting on the passport. Looks like I’ll need to do this all for the kids as well.
@hot_fiat Was this relatively easy? I need to do this for my kids (I qualify but not doing it for me yet)
Alpin - just spotted this in the ~Grauniad - I know no details beyond this but hopefully it will work for you
Legislation has been passed to ensure British people and their family members living in Germany will receive residence permits if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, irrespective of the Home Office’s latest plans for EU citizens in the UK.
