Hello all,

It's been 4 months after visiting the embassy for RP for employed person. Officer told me that everything looking well and it will take a short time to get a result ..like a month. But no change after these time, it is still waiting for processing.

I cannot get any information from anyone/anywhere. I called the embassy before but they said, they have no idea about the progress and it goes on Finland side. Also I wrote email to the immigration office but no respond. Btw I'm non-eu citizen. How can I get info about the process?

On migri.fi they say it takes 4 months "at most". So is this normal?

Thank you

I think some people have waited 9 months or more.

If you keep calling them, they can delay and delay and delay the process of your permit. So I wouldn't do that.

I would just wait. These things can take a long time.

The whole agency is overwhelmed by the flood of refugees, so normal norms no longer apply.

@Flossy1978 thank you, you right.

@AldenG "flood of refugees" I was thinking the same as you said. Thank you

I am waiting for my extended permit as well, not 4 months like your case, though. Migri website says that the average processing time for my permit type is 18 days but I have been waiting for more than 2 months already (applied around the end of Mar)

My first permit was in the same situation as well, it took more than 3 months to complete

Maybe the permit extension takes longer than migri says because it isn't migri, usually, that decides those. Blame police when police is to blame.

Well yes, I should have put the "blame" next to my next sentence where I mention the case for my first permit. Anyways, I know it's that time of the year again (student residence permit) + the whole refugee thing, so there is nothing one can do but to wait patiently
