I have applied on 24.02.2016 and it is still in "waiting for process"- first stage.
Re: Citizenship Application autumn/winter- 2016/2017
You may try to contact them and ask if everything is fine with your application as it has already passed the estimated 9 months time... You can at least ask in what queue you are...normal queue or slow one. I heard stories that they even said not to call, but If you ask nicely, in Finnish only, they will tell. I called before when I had something to ask both of the numbers, general and citizenship line and I had no issues with any of them.enu007 wrote:tavastia wrote:I seen one case like that before, nothing will be happening until around 8-9 months from the application date.nagaraja wrote:my application went 'In progress' (stage 2) two months back.

So, is it absolutely necessary to ask in Finnish? I have submitted one document which is written in English...does that make any difference? Thanks in advance for replying.

Re: Citizenship Application autumn/winter- 2016/2017
You can always try, but that was just a suggestion. I only used Finnish when calling about citizenship, and I had no problem, friendly answers and also helped with some issue later. Some people who called and talk in English got no service...brexit wrote: So, is it absolutely necessary to ask in Finnish?

Documents can be submitted into English also, but your language requirement will the same.

I applied for Residency back in February and got rejected yesterday. So it was a long wait for a !"#¤% answer!
It doesn't mean I'll leave though![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
