Applying for Citizenship 2024

[gulbeseker]

Hi everyone,

As you all know, the law is changing. The new law states that asylum seekers' applications will be processed within a year.

However, the law applies only to applications submitted after October 1st. My question is: if I applied before this date, will they prioritize the applications submitted after October 1st, and my application take longer to process? or will they make it faster with older applications as well? (I have refugee status.)

Thanks!

Hello

I don’t think so, because the law doesn’t have retroactivity in this case, so everything that has happened before 1.10.2024, would stay within the old law limits

You can apply one month before. It won't be a problem.

Has anyone heard if some of December 2023 applicants have already got decisions?

It will mean that automated decision can't be made.

Is the 4-year period residency requirement + YKI certificate counted as "exemption from 5-year period"? If so, the automated decision is not applicable for applicants who have fulfilled 4 years.

applied in the beginning of Dec 2023, nothing....seems migri doesn't proceed dec yet

[Karima]

mid-July 2023, still waiting.

[Allen]

mid-April 2023 here, awaiting handling.

Should be a pretty straight forward case also since I already have permanent residence before applying. So I think all they need to check is my language certificate

[Boston_MA]

Is there anyone who passed the Swedish language exam waiting or has received a decision? Everything I’ve provided has been in Swedish and I am wondering if I should upload English translations of everything because maybe there are more case workers who handle applications in English than there are case workers who handle application in Swedish.

Before summer looked like they were going through these months quicker, may be this is due to summer break, lets hope that this improves in August
