Applying for Citizenship 2024

[MAR1]

Hei,
my diary number is 17xxx/310/2023, any people around this number already received a decision,
Thanks in advance,

My diary number is 169xx/310/2023 and I visited the service point on Dec 28 so you will be after me and right in the very last hours of 2023.
Based on the previously published charts I would expect a decision in august - but that will put it right in the summer holiday period. So i'm expecting something in September.

Thanks for your reply. Hopefully, both of our applications get accepted soon, and we find ourselves in the fast queue. Good luck, and let's keep each other updated via this forum.

Any information about the ones who received the decision this week?

Looks like summer holidays have started
Just guessing from lack of activity. Hopefully I'm guessing wrong.

Most of the people who have applied don’t know about the existence of this forum

Overall Migri's services slow down to a painful halt. I have sent three emails for different queries, as I have a PR application IN PROCESS along with a citizenship application. But no response. When I try to call, I am sent to a waiting queue for so long, I ended up having to cut the call.

Is the " Waiting for processing" automatic email off this month? (Sorry if this was posted already. I didn't get to backread everything. I tried some but so many messages.

I've been receiving that message every month except this month so wondering if that's part of their updates on their system or is it related to anything else.

I had one 5 days ago.

Guys, if you feel that your rights are being ignored, it is the best to inform about that to Oikeuskansleri, as they are going to decide, if that is okay or not. So, if your calls don’t go through - you could also tell them about that, so they can start asking Migri about that.

Update: Migri just issued a statement on Facebook that kamu queue checker is suspended because they don’t like people using it to track a large number of random applications.

So if ever it does come back, it looks like they’ll make sure tracking large number of applications will be impossible.

The place in queue feature in Kamu has been disabled because the Finnish Immigration Service suspects that it has been used in an unintended way.

Kamu’s queue feature is intended for customers and employers so that they can check the status of their own or their employee’s applications in the processing queue.

However, Kamu has recently been used to systematically inquire and track the queue positions of a large number of random applications.

It has been possible to ask for a place in the queue with a diary number. The diary number does not contain personal data on the customers of the Finnish Immigration Service so customers' personal data has not been compromised.

Problems with the place in queue feature in the Kamu system do not affect the processing of applications. We will inform you immediately when we are able to provide a replacement tool for the place in queue feature.

Either Way, its good that the real applicant would be able to check their own queue place.
However, it is weird that they say diary number does not contain any personal information and is not a security risk. Same time they dont want people to use it to check queue place and draw various insights based on it.

Took them well over a month to send that out? Now maybe they'll consider adding it back with the fix after their 18th coffee break. What a joke.

There should not be any backlog in the processing of applications, I think the problem coming from a group of people, who has been applied without fulfilling citizenship requirements. I have noticed a few facebook groups encouraging people to apply, even applicant's residence time in Finland is not sufficient to the requirement.
Migri should reject these applications at first place. "Suomessa jono on pyhä" - but now people are just cutting the line - and it is not fair for people who wait for over 1.5 years and so on.

We haven't had enough transparency about Migri processes and some good people tried to show at least some insights based on the public data.
Now they removed that possibility and we have even less transparency
