I have been reading through this forum but I could not find any detailed information about ordinary naturalization process for Stadt Luzern. Therefore, I really appreciate if you can share your insights, experience or knowledge.
Quick background: My wife, my daughter and I are living in Stadt Luzern, and applied for ordinary naturalization in mid-October this year. We were asked to submit a couple of documents (the package was really limited, not the usual long list of documents that are asked in other cantons / municipalities) and we were told that we will be contacted appr. 10 months for further documents and the interview date. We would like to ask a couple of questions for clarification:
Is there anyone who has gone through ordinary naturalization process in Stadt Luzern? We would love to hear from his / her experience.
Should we really expect to be contacted after 10 months from the initial submission i.e. mid-October 2025? Or should we think “within” 10 months after the initial submission?
We are planning to attend the naturalization course offered by Caritas. Do you think we should wait for to be contacted by Gemeinde before enrolling to this course? Or should we tackle this in the earliest convenience to avoid any delays in our process?
Thank you very much in advance for all your support and responses!
That said, I’d suggest you take the course you mentioned in point 3 sooner rather than later. Speaking from experience: I initially signed up for a Migros course and it barely helped. Because I took it straight after submitting my documents, I still had plenty of time to look for another provider that suited me better and enough time to study properly as well.
Thank you very much @BluePlanet for taking time and sharing your suggestion as well as your good wishes.
We are also planning to take this course as soon as possible. Despite the fact that we are quite knowledgeable around the topics of this course, I guess there will some information new to us and we will also need some time to digest this new information shared during this course.
Thank you very much @awyeah for sharing your experience, and congratulations on the positive outcome on your application and successful naturalization!
Looking at your end-to-end facilitated process (from the initial submission by early April 2024 to final confirmation by late June 2025) which is roughly 15 months, I started to feel like 18 months timeframe (which is stated as the expected process length) is a little bit on the optimistic side for ordinary naturalization process . Anyways we will live and see how it goes .
