I have been following this thread closely and I thought I would create an account to give the times I had
02/2021 Applied for citizenship first days of February 2021. I had a 4 year A permit on Family ties
Had the interview with migri the day after
05/2021 Applied for permanent residency based on having a permanent job since my permit would expire on 01/2022
09/2021 Had the interview with migri for residence permit
Got the positive decision a week later for the permanent permit
10/2021 Got the positive decision on my citizenship application when my queue number was 2,786
Non EU-citizen, country not on the list
Overall a bit over 8 months
Good luck to you all.
Also Got a positive decision month ago(25.08.2021).
My country was on the list.
I waited 19 months and 3 weeks.
When I received my decision my queue number was 371.
- Came in Finland in 2013 as University student from another EU country. B permit : 2.5 y.
- Since May 2016 on A.
05/01/2020 : I have applied for Citizenship via Enterfinland.fi.
07/01/2020 : Proved my identity.
My deadline was postponed several times (initially they said max 12 months then 15 then 19 then at last did not say anything anymore).
Finally, I had to applied for P permit. unfortunately, my decision came out just the following day after I paid for P permit application, so I lost around 200 euro.
In between, I went to migri and complained that it was not normal that some receive their decision in 3-8 months and other have to wait almost 2 years. Although I paid the same processing fees as everyone else, I came in Finland with a valid residence permit and passport. That I felt frustrated and discriminated and it was not normal.
2 days later after my complaint I received a txt msg asking about my income in Finland since the day of my application (01.2020).
I provided them with several pay slips from different jobs as well as my bank statement.
finally received a positive decision a day later(27.08.2021).
