Just spoke to my lawyer about my citizenship application. The waiting time now is around 2-3 years. Anyone here experienced shorter (or longer) waiting times than that in the recent past?

Thanks, but I've already gone through the Spanish-language interview. I'll just have to wait 2 more years to get it. Rio 2016 looking a bit shaky now.
I had my interview in March and have been told that the Interpol check is expected back next week. Might have just been telling me what they thought I wanted to hear though - although I was told in March all the checks would be back by end of August.

As mentioned before, if you get a police record with an apostle form the DR consulate in your home country then the wait time will be way shorter and you could get a sworn in date pretty quick, mine was just after two weeks I deposited the police record, Interpol will take forever.

Now that the DR and I assume other countries as well are sending piles of these background checks in for processing, there is quite a backlog. I have had three such checks submitted by the DR in the last 11 months for three separate processes and I expect one more is about to be added to the queue.

I haven't left the country which should be easily verifiable now and I have committed no offences in the DR so I fail to see the need for all these international checkups, but then again, I don't understand a lot of what goes in here in the bureaucracy.
But just because you deposited that police record from your home country does not mean they won't also key-in your name in the Interpol site.
They will still have to use the Interpol to check if you are wanted by any other country beside your home country of Germany.
You are not immune to Interpol checks just because you sent them a local police record check from your home country.
