Untätigkeitsklage under § 75 VwGO against Munich Ausländerbehörde after 6 months
Hello everyone.
I have submitted my Niederlassungserlaubnis application to Munich's Ausländerbehörde on 29 Dec, 2025. Up until today, I have not received any updates or appointments from them.
They have actually mentioned on their website that the process could take up to 9 months, but for a particular reason I'm in a hurry and would like to get my PR as soon as possible. My employment situation is shaky at the moment and I worry I might get laid off before I get any appointments from the authority and then not only I won't get my permanent residency, I will also be required to find a new job within a specific time frame before I'm ordered to leave the country, and that frightens me because the job market is currently absolutely horrible.
I was thinking I could file an Untätigkeitsklage under § 75 VwGO against the Munich Ausländerbehörde to basically force them to make a decision on my application. I will be doing this myself through the official online court portal because I don't want to spend money on lawyer fees.
I would appreciate it if you could share any tips or insight you have on this matter. Do you think I'm doing the right thing? Should I necessarily do it with a lawyer or is it OK if I start the process alone? Is it even generally a good idea to go down this path? Any implications you think I should be aware of?
Thank you very much for your help and advice.
