It's a piece carried by various German news sources, but I'll reference it back to Deutsche Welle. Back around two years ago....the Germans were hyping up that they'd going after and had gotten finger-print technology and was going to install it in all asylum-application offices. Well...they didn't exactly do that.
This technology was supposed to prevent dual registrations....where asylum seekers were sneaky and applying in two or three different states.
Presently, out of the 494 immigration offices and social offices.....200 are lacking the capability. The fix-it date? BamF says that around by September of this year.....they would be totally fixed up....while social offices are talking about the very end of 2018.
What this all means? My guess is that you will see a wave of several hundred folks are registered in two separate states (probably less than a thousand though). The BamF and social office folks will get highly embarrassed and this will be talked about for a week or two.
Why did it take this long? That's avoided in the discussion. The news folks from public TV aren't asking and one might sense that it's a pretty stupid reason.
