Residence permit (family ties) processing
Re: Residence permit (family ties) processing
Hello, it’s been 8 month. We got a paper today, it’s about questions. But there is a thing which is really stupid, they asked when will I come to Finland (i’ve been in Finland for 9 months and I even go to school and we have sent them a paper about it 8 months ago) they asked for my birth certificate (which we sent them twice 4 months ago) and they asked for my mother’s allowance (my dad is my guardian as legally and even though we have gave her permission paper signed by her when we applied and 4 months ago when they asked extra questions). It kinda feels like they are just playing and making it harder to give up on it. They also asked for medical report to hand me a temporary visa to visit my operated mom. We sent 3 medical reports and there is still not a single answer by them in 5 months.

Re: Residence permit (family ties) processing
My wife and daughter base in Finland and I started my process since April 24th 2017, is the 11th month now still yet to receive any decision from the immigration, the last time my wife checked, they told to wait, that soon she will hear from them and that was since January 25th. me personally have written to the Immigration asking for a new processing time estimate of my resident permit, still no reply from them for 3weeks now. what could be the problem? what do you think I should do? am a Nigerian.

Re: Residence permit (family ties) processing
Hi congratulations! May I ask at which service point did you apply to (helsinki Migri etc.) and did you attach any additional appendixes other than what's asked for (such as a compilation pdf of photos together)? Thanks

Re: Residence permit (family ties) processing
i went to oulu migri. i only attached the requirements (marriage certificate, passports with all page that had stamp proof of our traveling together and lease agreement that we live together in my home country starting Sep 2017).

Re: Residence permit (family ties) processing
Family permits must get a decision in nine months. It probably will not help your case to be processed faster but will help others if you make a complaint to the Parliamentary Ombudsman.Amarabrizi wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 2:38 pmMy wife and daughter base in Finland and I started my process since April 24th 2017, is the 11th month now still yet to receive any decision from the immigration, the last time my wife checked, they told to wait, that soon she will hear from them and that was since January 25th. me personally have written to the Immigration asking for a new processing time estimate of my resident permit, still no reply from them for 3weeks now. what could be the problem? what do you think I should do? am a Nigerian.

Hi everyone!
Spouse applied December 2017, still queuing...what do you think guys about the processing Time checker? I don't think it help much.... plus it shows always the same amount of applications in the queue 5350.... But then migri statistics shows at least 200 new application every month....

As of today been 15/03/2018, my called the imigri again and the official who attended to her, told her that decision has not been made as to her husband's resident permit, and her international passport pages is required showing the stamps and numbers of time she has visited Africa. Please what has this got to do with my resident permit decision making and why the unnecessary delay from the immigration, is over 11 months I applied. this is not fair in anyway because they are keeping me away from my family.
