Thank you for sharing this. I was expecting this to be published, but it was unclear of when and where. I guess there's no new info, but at least someone is trying to make them accountable.Kissukat wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2024 9:02 pmHello fellow long queue applicants,
I recently came across document OKV/1941/80/2024, where the Ministry of Justice is investigating Migri’s approach to reducing the backlog of citizenship applications. The investigation highlights that some of Migri’s actions violate the constitution and concludes that their efforts so far are insufficient. Further review is planned for June 2025.
Migri has set a target to process all applications within a year, with a projected success rate of 65% in 2024 (which they failed 44% Jan-July) and 100% by 2028.
The document outlines the measures Migri is implementing, including:
1. Automated decision processing (cMay 2024)
2. Organizational reforms (June 2024)
3. Temporary reallocation of resources to address long-queue applications (August–December 2024)
I hope this provides you with some transparency.

That's the Chancellor of Justice (not Ministry).Kissukat wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2024 9:02 pmI recently came across document OKV/1941/80/2024, where the Ministry of Justice is investigating Migri’s approach to reducing the backlog of citizenship applications.

Thanks for all the sharings here which constantly decrease my anxiety in the past year.
I went to the police office today to finish the last step and would like to share the footprint here.
29.5.2023 submit the application.
A series of numbers which indicate my position in the queue this year:
4391 Jan 03
4350 Jan 14
4174 Feb 20
3963 Apr 15
3865 May 13
Finally, on 18.7.2024, I got a positive decision.
I hope you guys can get through this also as soon as you wish. Good luck.
Hi!
Congratulations on receiving your citizenship! I applied around the same time. Have you during your waiting period asked Migri what was your expected waiting period? Have they answered with the generic 25 month?
Re: Applying for Citizenship 2024
Hello,
I have applied in April 2024 and yet my status is waiting for processing. Anyone in this similar case? Dairy number 29XX/310/2024.

Re: Applying for Citizenship 2024
I have the same situation ( waiting for processing) and my diary number falls within this range , 29xx /310/2024.
I applied late March 2024 and got diary number beginning of April. Have you contacted migri to ask about estimation time for your application ?
Last time I contacted them , they told me it could take 9-10
months.
Re: Applying for Citizenship 2024
hi, yes, I'm in the same situation, I applied in August 2022 and silence. I hope to get it by March, it will be 31 months already.

Re: Applying for Citizenship 2024
Hello
I would like to share the information about my wife's citizenship application.
She applied and visited Migri on 2nd and 3rd May 2024.
Application was done less than 3 months before completion of the 4 years residency.
Two days ago she received Finnish citizenship.
She has been working since August 2023.
I received my citizenship with my son in November 2022.
When I checked her decision letter it was written that decision was made automatically. In my decision letter the name decision maker was provided.

Re: Applying for Citizenship 2024
Was the "Report your trips abroad" function available before and I simply missed it, or did I just luck out on getting the request and sending the travel update in a freeform manner a few days before it appeared? In any case clicking on "go to form" is giving me an error so I can't use it. Just curious, hope that sending in freeform text via "additional documents" is ok.
