Any news from people who applied for extended permit from Finland?

Hello. We applied for an extended permit in Helsinki on 09/20/2024 (it turns out that we applied for the first permit based on family ties, because before that there was an entrepreneur's permit, but the application form and the price were taken as for the extended permit). 6 months of waiting No news at all
