Applying for Citizenship 2024

[_User123_]

Yes, but no matter how you contact Migri, the reply is always the same: we can't do anything except wait. This is what I’ve understood after contacting Migri multiple times. Sad..But..True!

Got diary number in February 2022. Started processing in the end of June and I'm still waiting. I recently had a call and surprisingly customer service person gave more insights. I was told that they are waiting information from another authority. Unfortunately, they didn't have any time estimation. They also didn't share from which authority. Before you ask, I don't have any crime, fine etc.

One side of me is leaning on just wait and even forget about that I applied for citizenship and the other side is more about contacting lawyer. Indeed, seeing many people having citizenship in shorter time is alarming. I wish that they had more transparency. Honestly speaking, even the idea of contacting lawyer makes me feel sad. I have never imagined myself having a need of a lawyer for my rights in this country.

Instead of hiring a lawyer, the Parliamentary Ombudsman can look into your matter for free.

What was original estimate for your application? Like in 2022 and in 2023 (in this year was it 23 months or 30)?

Estimation at the service point was one year. I haven't checked the estimation in 2022 and early 2023 but it was 23 months at some point in 2023.

So, your application started to be processed after 28 mo ths... that is strange. Are you enterpreneur by chance?

Hello everyone, Finally I got a positive decision today after over 9 months.
I came here as a student in the end of 2018.
01/2020 I changed to working visa.
13/12/2023 I got queue number
6/9/2024 moved to step 2
I was worried about my application since it moved to step 2 over 2 weeks but it was worth waiting. Today I got the decision at 16:00.
This Finland Forum has helped me a lot to track my application and estimate when it went to process and it was all true information. Again, thank you for everyone here and I wish you all get your decision soon.

Congratulations

I think Migri has stepped up their game, they can now process applications before they were even submitted

Hi all,

I applied on the 23rd of December and received my Diary number on the 4th of January. I'm unsure whether I'm in the long or short queue and am starting to feel a bit nervous. Has anyone else who applied around the same timeframe received a reply yet?
