Applying for Citizenship 2024

[just_passing_by]

Thanks for sharing the raw data.
I checked it and it seems that the real sequence number is missing in this .csv file.
Is there any reason behind or you will correct that?
Thanks again

That was unintentional.
Now fixed

My queue number is decreasing on a daily basis. However my line position has changed from 25 to 30 this week. Also I can see there are around 50 other diary number who share same queue number with mine as well as same line number and all.
Does change in line position affects processing time?

Hi, Is it normal to have your queue numbers go down only about 100 numbers in a month (the first month) I applied mid March with queue number 89xx and after more than a month the queue number is 88xx. My diary number is in the 25xx/310/2024 range. Just looking to get any insight as to why has it been so slow or is it just the first month and so. Thanks

Hahahha, lucky you. I applied in the last week of March and queue number was 9042 and it’s been one month mow and queue stands at 9061 .

Can I ask what was your status in Finland and grounds for application?

I came as a student and now I applied for citizenship with current A work visa and having reached residency period. How about you?

Hi everyone

I applied 1.11.2023 based on family ties and my diary number was 134xx, and queue number 81xx.

It was moved to stage 2 yesterday morning (queue 56xx) and I received the positive decision before 12 today.

Such sweet relief. This is definitely a really great support group for all of us who has applied and been waiting for a decision.

Best of luck to all.

Congratulations!!!

I have included in my application a write-up detailing the reason for my move to Finland and expressing my desire to stay permanently with my family. Not sure if it helps to expedite the application process, but I've attached it nonetheless. Maybe it did cos I received the decision much sooner than I expected. Just wanted to share with everyone.

Hi, any idea when will the probable processing with diary number 14xxx/310/2023 start? It is very tough to study the statistics. Applied on Oct. but diary number on Nov (2023). I'd appreciate the replies. Thanks!

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.

This week was quite slow tbh. Next week Vappu, following week helatorstai. For sure, there will be more slowness.

For those who wait for at least a year, how was last year July? Is it fully slowed down for July?

Last July my queue number moved by 50, it was a super slow month, but tbh migri has been very active lately compared to last year, and they hired a lot of people in december, so hope these people have finished their training and can join migri affectively

One application has different speeds depending on its position in the queue.
Right after submission its' speed is continuously increasing until it reaches well known "sweet spot" (~6-7 months after starting).
Then it slows down until it reaches ~4000 queue number.
After that its' speed is again increasing until it is processed (after ~23 months)
Or if it is not processed by that time then its' speed slows down again until the end.

X-axis is average speed per day.
Y-axis is queue number.

Hey guys
my application moved to stage 2 last Tuesday. I thought that I would receive the decision on the same day but still haven't received it yet. is this normal ?? my diary number is 133XX/310/2023.
what could they be investigating ? I'm from Egypt. I have been living in Finland for 7 years now. I have my job and I completed a degree here. is common that stage 2 could take a long time ?

I think that it is normal/many cases are similar to yours, you do not need to panic. And it would be more helpful to state dates instead of "last Tuesday" and to mention the date at which you applied/visited Migri or when your dairy number is generated (if no Migri visit is required). So one can compare your case and give you a better opinion. All the best

Sure It moved to stage 2 actually on 23/04/2024.
I received the diary number at late of October 2023, and I haven't visited migri. enterfinland told me that I don't need to do so.
I have lived until now 4 years B. and 3 years A.

Take a chill pill. Some of us are still waiting in Stage 1, since 2022 (August, me).

Hopefully we are going to be processed soon, as the waiting period is super long already… But of course, it depends on Migri’s speed of doing things …
