Citizenship Application 2022

[LumiPoika]

Hi everyone. Decided to create this as 2022 has started and better to know any related updates here.

Visited Migri: 8/6/2021
Once got the email "Täydennä hakemustasi Enter Finlandissa".

Does this mean you have not completed your application yet? They might be looking for more information from you. Just my uninformed guess.

No, here someone else got one email after 3 months and one email after 5 months from the interview. I got both of the emails so far, but still in the first stage.

I received my decision this morning. My country was not on the list.

I submitted and identified myself in the first week of April, 2021. I moved to Finland in 2015 wit a B type permit, then obtained an A type permit in the second half of 2018. I was still on the A permit when my application was processed.

My application moved to stage 2 a week ago, but I was out of the country and I had informed Migri of my travel plans. I returned to Finland two days ago. My queue number was 3066 on the morning of the day it went into stage 2. Yesterday, the queue number was 3043.

Congrats and thanks for sharing

I am quite new and not familiar with the term 'country list' which is mentioned serval times in the forum. I didn't find which countries are included. I would be thankful if somebody shared for me and others the list here. Even if the list is not anymore publicly on the website, but might be used in the background.

Migri had posted the following notice as a customer bulletin (Edit: I went back an checked, it was part of the establishing your identity page) back in either 2020 or early 2021, I can't quite remember.

"On its own, a passport from one of the following countries is not enough to determine a person’s identity; instead the Finnish Immigration Service needs to perform more investigations: Afghanistan, Iraq, Gambia, Ghana, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia and Syria.

The reliability of a passport in the establishment of identity may be deteriorated by deficient personal data registers or corruption in the country granting the passport, for instance.

As reliable establishment of identity requires more investigations, the expected processing time is longer. You should always present your passport, however, as it will speed up the processing of your application compared to you not presenting any identity document."

This notice was later removed from the website and currently cannot be accessed on any official page. However, many applicants from the countries listed have reported that their application takes a long time to process, usually the maximum time in the time estimates given by Migri for processing time. One or two have reported that when they have called and checked the progress of their application, they were informed that applications from those countries are processed in a separate queue and that they were currently up to applications submitted in x month, year for that queue (I remember one person stated they were up to February 2020 or something similar a short while ago).

That is not a typo. 2020, almost two years ago.

I don't even want to check it at this moment. Too lazy to enter the website, it gives me nothing. But I recorded them:
in the beginning of the past August I was 798 application in front of me. September 646, and October 573.
Since August they send me requests for more information 3 (three) times. Last one answered in December no update yet.

It doesn't mean that you have to wait 7500 people in front of you. Some complicated applications will be reviewed slower then others. Just don't thing about that and relax.
