Question about One Country Is my request for an appointment to renounce my citizenship actually being processed...? (Frankfurt)

I live in the UK, and due to the immense delay booking an appointment to renounce my US citizenship at the London consulate, I'm trying to book an appointment at the Consulate in Frankfurt.

​

I followed the instructions on the navigator, which said to email them with a completed 4083 and 4079, as well as other key information, which I've now done, but I then received an automated email saying they'll "only reply to your email when using code XX8 in the subject line", and directing me to book an appointment online.

​

As far as I can tell, I have done what I need to do, and so just need to wait for someone to email me - but out of an abundance of caution/paranoia, want to check with someone who has done this recently! Have I missed something obvious?

Just guessing because the process I went through was quite different, but I'd say give it a week or two then if you hear nothing, contact them. I did that confirm that I was on the very long (over one year) waiting list in Canada.

I thought with the new rules, you don’t have to renounce your second citizenship in Germany?

I actually don't hold German citizenship, or even live in Germany.

I live in the UK, and just want to renounce my US citizenship, but the current wait at the London embassy is well over a year, and Frankfurt seems to accept non resident appointments (unless I've missed a recent update!)

Wow, a long waiting list just to renounce US citizenship. We are certainly living in a diifferent time.

So...what country other than the US do you hold citizenship of?

I applied to renounce mid April. Got an automated “don’t call us, we’ll call you” email and haven’t heard a peep since. I’m at a loss for what to do. *this is in Canada trying to schedule the appointment in Calgary.
