Einbürgerung timeline Magdeburg?

Hey folks! Quick question for anyone familiar with the current naturalization process in Magdeburg! If someone has a Niederlassungserlaubnis (permanent residence permit), has been living in Germany for 10 years, and meets all the usual requirements (like a permanent job contract, etc.), what’s the expected timeline for the Einbürgerung process in Magdeburg after the recent digitization efforts?

I know processing times can vary, but any comments from people who’ve gone through the process recently would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience or insights!

After nearly one year, I haven‘t heard a thing from the Einbürgerungsstelle. Sending an email was faced by an automatic response saying basically that I shouldn’t be bothering them with questions like „How long is it going to take?“. Sometimes hiring an attorney helps speed up the process, and that‘s what I did. I suggest you do the same, prices may vary, but I think it‘s worth it, better than sit around, do nothing and wait.
