I am getting tired of answering the same questions over and over again.
So I decided to make a post about it. I will update this post as I get more questions.
I will send a link to this post to everyone who asks me a question which is already answered here.
I will try to answer questions related to the graphs I publish and some other questions answers to which I know based on the data which I have.
I am not associated with Migri or any other Finnish government institution. I am just a person who is interested in the topic and has some data to share.
Below is only my personal opinion.
Overall data gathering process explanation:
0. Data is gathered from public sources. I do not have any special access to any data. I just use the same channels as everyone else.
1. I get the data from the Kamu chatbot. It is gathered once a week.
2. The data contains only queue number of an application and a "slider" showing the progress of the queue.
3. The data is gathered from the Kamu chatbot using the following application id pattern: <sequence_number>/310/<year>. For example, 123/310/2021.
4. After gathering the data it becomes obvious that there are three independent queues:
The green one is unclear for me. (enterpreneurship?)
The blue one is for the applications which are submitted based on the following grounds: work, family, studies, and other. I would consider this queue as for "general" applications.
The red one is for applications submitted by people who came to Finland under the asylum seeker/international protection status.
5. I gather data for applications submitted over the last 4 years (2021-2024)
6. Usually I only publish the data for the blue queue. Perhaps I will start publishing the data for other queues as well.
7. Axis X is queue number of an application, axis Y is a sequence number of an application.
What we currently see/know based on the data:
1. Each queue has its own progress speed.
2. The blueue queue has a place in the queue where some applications are processed before they get to the end of the queue.
At the moment of writing this FAQ the place is around 5000 in the queue or 6 months of waiting time.
I mark this place with a green horizontal line on the graph.
Note that Migri processes applications in an ascending order of an application number. Queue number has no effect on the processing order in this case.
3. As far as I know, the easy cases are processed at this place.
If you think that your case is easy, but it was not processed at this place then it is probably not as easy as you think from the Migri point of view.
Many of us have the same situation. We think that our case is easy, but Migri thinks otherwise.
4. If your application was not processed at the place where the green line is then there is a high chance that you will have to wait for a long time.
5. If talking about the blueue queue, then I think that there is no such thing as a "fast track" for the applications.
All applications which are close to each other in the queue are processed at the same speed.
But there is a chance that some applications are picked from the queue and processed before they get to the end of the queue.
6. Multiple applications may have the same queue number. I don't know why. Perhaps some internal Migri process.
