Open pageFAQ
How early should I submit in Berlin?
Aim for 10 to 12 weeks before expiry. That buffer handles follow-up requests without forcing an emergency path.
What mistakes cause the most delays?
Inconsistent salary details, outdated registration certificates, and partial passport scans are the most common blockers.
Does LEA Berlin accept follow-up documents by email?
Often yes. Keep the same subject line and reference your existing case details so your file stays linked.
Do I need a brand-new application for small updates?
Usually not. Minor corrections are often accepted as supplements if your file can be matched clearly.
