Gutachterverfahren = they compare your education/training to German medical training (Gleichwertigkeit). It can also include authenticity checks of documents, depending on origin country and authority.
What you can do (without annoying them):
• Ask for “Eingangsbestätigung” + Aktenzeichen if you don’t have it.
• Send a short list of what you submitted and ask: “Is anything missing? Is my file complete for Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung?”
• If you are abroad, use a German postal address + someone with Vollmacht to manage letters.
• Don’t resend the full package unless they ask. Often 1 missing/outdated doc blocks everything (good standing, passport copy, internship proof).
Speeding it up is limited, but preventing a “pause” because of small missing docs is the big lever.
