Applying for Citizenship 2024

[hellofinland23]

Hi all (been away from forum after submitting the application & went for interview in Jan 2023)! Just got email 'the process has begun' so can't hold my excitement plus NERVOUSNESS. Would love to hear ab your experience with STAGE 2 and your takes on should I actively updates / send supplements for my application? Because
- Oct 2023: I quit my office job 1 year ago and did not report anything to Migri after that.
- Oct 2023 - Jan 2024: I worked part-time for a restaurant and made like a few hundred
- Jan 2024 - March 2024: No income - living off my emergency & saving fund
- April 2024 - Now: Making money by tutoring online but no contract just money sent to my bank. Soon needed to report for tax before the new year and thinking of registering Toiminimi)

Not receiving any penny from TE or KOKO because ugh it's another story but I also started master degree in Haaga-Helia since 2024 Jan. Thanks in advance for any input and GOOD LUCK for everyone who is waiting!

May I ask when was your diary number created?

Tota kai!
16.01.2023 A diary number has been created & stage 1 started
--.07.2023 My last payslip supplement
My A permit lasts until July 2025. My address was in my HOAS apartment even though I almost moved to live with my Finnish boyfriend in his house in Espoo. I did report in the application I travel to Vietnam and work from home (literally) for 5 months and 2 weeks so I think that made my application into slow lane. But my mom was very sick back then so..

It is weird cause I think those with diary 16.01 should be processed weeks ago?

Hi, I have sent some supplements at 6 months (travel and pay stubs) and then after my most recent travel in August I sent another travel update. A couple of days ago I also sent in more pay stubs just so they have all the information they might need, but still have not heard any requests from them and no decision
I don’t know what is taking so long, maybe they need to request information from my home country and that is taking a long time? I’m not sure, but I am definitely very anxious for my decision. It’s hard not to check email and enterfinland like 500x a day
Oh well, all I can do is wait. If they have not given me any request or decision after like 3-4 weeks I will probably email and ask. I hope you don’t have to wait as long as me for your decision!

Thank you for sharing! Aaaa yeah, such a mystery. I just saw some from 2023 thread and so many different situations. Some took weeks until positive decision. Oh hey, have not SEEN any NEGATIVE decision so hahaa let's try to stay positive and keep manifesting our Finnish passport I think everyone has their own story why this matters so much but aaaaa I will try to not think about this and back to normal life Thank you and hope good news soon for all!!

Good luck!! I wish I could go back to not thinking about this so much, but ever since I got the “processing has started” email it has become an annoying obsession

I can totally relate! But hey this is exactly what I was hoping for for almost 2 years since applying so. Just notice my human 'greedy' tendency to not keep being happy/ cherished with the news/ progress but immediately wanting the next thing xD

I had no idea! A good friend applied same time (same background but work in IT) got her passport already in July 2023 (only ab 6 month wait) so after that I just try to not think ab the application until today the stage 2 news and it started a new circle of waiting

They are taking about 2023, so they have been waiting almost 2 years, and the friend got the decision over 1 year ago

Oh now I get it. Misread it. It was 2023 and that is why. Just surprised why diary 16.01.2024 is just now processed.

Hey Ha Nguyen,
Do you remember what your queue number was back in mid May right before MIGRI shutdown that chatbot feature? It would be great if you could share that info and also what is your approximate diary number.

Thanks and congratulations on moving into stage 2

One thing I find really strange is that I registered on Enterfinland with my personal e-mail, but they send the monthly "still processing" automatic updates to my work email for some reason. I wonder how they even found out about it, all previous communication they were sending to my personal e-mail, my account shows my personal e-mail, and the application only has my personal e-mail too.

I don't mind, but it's just really funny...

Congraz, can you tell a bit your background? like did you apply together with partner? or do you have finnish partner or finnish children?

Your case is pretty fast as I see.
