I've been waiting for a decision for almost a year now and I dislike Migri's inefficiency as much as everyone else here, but some people in this forum are absurdly entitled!

Here the most important thing is how Migri gives terrible experiences to the upcoming new citizens. Most have been living here for quite a lon...

I also heard that Migri asks clarification from the applicant’s home country which is unreasonable and extremely weird Being a citizen of Finland doesn’t relate you to your home country. You can have issues in your home country but it shouldn’t matter about your status in Finland. Migri should care...

Depending on that, there could be a few points where there could be scrutiny. 1. Immigration in your wife's home country (or wherever the wedding is). 2. At the airline counte...

At least from my experience, they are not the same thing.
