Does “process pending application” email mean appointment is coming soon?
I applied for Chancenkarte last month expecting the usual ~1 year wait for an appointment. Today I received this email: “Hello, you have not processed your pending application for 1 days. Your application will be automatically deleted in 59 days if it has not been processed by then.” I logged in and processed it immediately, but now I’m wondering - does receiving this email indicate that my appointment might be scheduled soon? The reason I’m asking is that I haven’t prepared my blocked account funds yet (was planning to sell my car closer to my expected travel date in January 2025), thinking I had much more time based on the typical 1-year processing timeline. Has anyone received similar emails during their Chancenkarte process? Did your appointment come shortly after, or is this just routine administrative processing? Any insights from people who’ve been through this process would be really helpful!
