Is it this slow this time of the year or has Migri just gotten slower with the processing of applications? At this rate the backlog of applications is gonna get worse.

Thank you for the info. Can you quote the part of the draft where it says that applications in process will not be affected by the proposed law? Kansalaisuushakemusten käsittelyajat vaihtelevat muutamista kuukausista yli kahteen vuoteen. Ehdotettujen muutosten tullessa voi- maan on siten vireillä s...

This week's stats: Total processed: ~174 Total processed with queue >4000: ~118 Approximate processing range with queue >4000: 10600/310/2023 - 10800/310/2023 In other words, nothing really new. Thanks for posting this. By the way, regarding your case, the people in the process will not be affected...

I applied immediately after I fulfilled the 4-year stay requirement for permanent residency, even though my extended A permit was yet to expire in 4 months.

Some people get their decision within an hour or two after visiting the immigration office. Some have to wait for months.

I got mine the same day I visited the immigration office.

I submitted my application earlier this week but I haven’t gotten a diary number yet. Is this normal? It also says that I don’t need to visit a service point because they all have the documents they need.

Update: Got the diary number six days after.

Hei, This seems more like a procedural error. I don't think you would have needed an appeal, but it certainly shows that they have possibly missed the pertinent information. It is often good to explain in a simple letter. But now that you have filed an appeal, it should be ok. I agree that the lawy...

Your negative decision would not affect your new RP application. Happened to me before, I got negative decision because TE gave partial nega decision. I filed an appeal to the court and applied another RP at the same time. 1 month later, the court "dismissed/cancelled" the appeal because ...

Applying from abroad has many downsides. For example, it would reset the time required for a P permit. It's also possible to try both. As a side note it's the supreme administrative court instead of the administrative court that decides whether an appeal is allowed. Thank you for clarifying. While ...

A nursing assistant assists individuals with physical disabilities, mental impairments, and other health care needs with their activities of daily living. The average Nursing Assistant salary in the United States is $31,610. If you are not at least making that much here then perhaps it's time to re...

In case my appeal was denied, what would be the next best course of action to take? The one recommended to you by a lawyer familiar with your case. Well, ideally. The thing is I'm not too confident with the public lawyer representing me. She doesn't seem to have a great grasp of immigration laws an...

So here’s a timeline of my residence permit application journey: I was approved for a residence permit on the basis of work (assistant nurse) in June 2018, with a validity date of 1 year (until June 2019) Due to unforeseen circumstances, I wasn’t able to arrive in Finland until February 2019. I imme...

Has the court already decided on your case? I too have exceeded the 1-year mark and I'm still waiting for my appeal's decision.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the reason your RP was denied?
