"…I am so happy you are working to solve this …"

German bureaucracy is such a big issue here. I am so happy you are working to solve this problem; there is a lot of scope for improvement. I will sign up for sure. Wishing you lots of success. I hope this post reaches other immigrants as well

"An outstanding experience"

My naturalization process had been stuck for months, but they were able to unblock it. Even if they hadn’t reached the final goal, the progress made was already an achievement because I hadn’t heard anything back from the LEA since the very beginning.

Drift asked me to submit my documents at the end of October, and just two months later after a little back and forth with the LEA, I received my citizenship appointment on December 23rd. The team is super responsive, professional, and clearly very competent. I couldn’t recommend them more. Getting the process completed in less than two months was totally worth it.

"This is amazing! Excellent work…"

This is amazing! Excellent work, especially in the times we are living in. I am an immigrant myself, which would be helpful before. Congratulations again!

"Helpful, Patient, Prompt and Informative…"

The Drift Team was extremely helpful and provided great advice from the intro call and right through till the process was successfully completed.


Nouran, the head of immigration, was patient and prompt with all the information we asked and the follow ups with the LEA.


I would highly recommend reaching out to them if you face roadblocks in your immigration process.

"Great first discussion"

Great first discussion, the team took their time to listen and understand what we wanted. Well done!

"…No one should have to go through immigration feeling lost, frustrated, or alone…"

This hits home. I applied for German citizenship in 2022, finally got it in 2023—and even with all the privilege of stability and resources, the process was brutal.


So much waiting, so much paperwork, and so many moments of 'Did I mess this up?' I love what you're building with Drift. No one should have to go through immigration feeling lost, frustrated, or alone. Making the process accessible? That's a game- changer. Cheering you on!
