I applied for an extension of my RP based on studies. But it showing this in enterfinland. They didn’t notify me anything yet. If it is a negative decision, is there anyone who appealed and got a positive decision later? Please help

I just got my decision the same way. It's been a week since it said my decision is ready on EnterFinland. I called the migri person and she said the authority will contact me. It might be that we don't have a valid permit now/expired. I don't know.

It's been two months and I still have not received anything. Check my mailbox every day.
But nothing. I sent an email to migri and she said I will be contacted by the police within their scheduled time. It is a long wait for uncertainty.

Re: The decision will be served on you by the authorities. Please wait for the authorities to contact you.
Hello we have the same problem with you guys do you have any update yet? They gave me the decision last February but I can't find the attachment so I've waited since then.

Guys,
I got the decision. The policeman called me and asked me to meet him at the police station. He told me the application was negative and explained the appeal process. He said I have to appeal within 30 days from that day. Signed the received documents.
So the appeal does not have any specific procedure. I just wrote a formal letter to the court, explaining my situation and why ELY (since I applied for an Entrepreneur visa after my study visa) should have accepted my application. Explain my whole situation, that the business plan makes sense, etc. And submitted to the email provided from the appeal procedure documents. You are allowed to stay in Finland during the appeal process.
Then, I have not received anything that the email was received or not until last week, a court sent me the email that ELY has decided to accept my application and forwarded it to Migri to issue the visa for 12 months(that part annoys me) however you can submit another application on the different ground while waiting. I mean now. Even before you have not received the decision yet.
Don't worry, just follow the flow. Things eventually will be alright. Hope this helps.

Not anymore. Well, until I got the residence permit from Migri, technically I'm still under my previous permit. Basically, it was 8-9 months after I sent my application.

Hello, is it true that all messages like this are negative?
Re: The decision will be served on you by the authorities. Please wait for the authorities to contact you.
Hi, I just want to ask in behalf of my brother I hope somebody can help me. My brother came to Finland with tourist visa only on July 28,2024. During his stay since at that time before the new ammendments came into force, he was able to find a job in Finland and an employer is willing to apply for a residence permit for him based on work. So everything went fine with submitting the application but unfortunately we received the same message from enterfinland that the authority will contact him. It has been 5days from now since we received that notification from enterfinland then he tried to ask his employer and yes he was already informed by TE-palvelu that the partial decision was negative so as the final decision of migri. I want to ask if we will make an appeal how much is the chance that they will reconsider my brother’s application? How long will the appeal be processed? And since employer is the only one who is allowed to make an appeal to TE-service what if employer doesn’t want to make an appeal anymore? Thanks I hope someone can give me advise .
By the way my brother applied as a cleaner and the reason why TE gave a negative decision it’s because they assessed that there’s enough labor here in finland for cleaners

Does your brother have some special qualifications in that field that made the employer wait for a residence permit instead of immediately hiring some unemployed person?
Special qualifications above what the typical cleaner has (and accordingly a higher salary) could be a reason to argue that the decision was wrong.

Hi thanks for the response. The employee already sent an explanation to TE about it that they have a lot of applicants but my brother is the one qualified for that position especially working night shifts, weekends, and from one place to another and yes thanks for sharing this news this made me really confused if there’s a lot of demands for cleaners but matching them up can be difficult why they didn’t accept my brother’s application if the employer really thinks he is the right person for job.
But then before we make an appeal we still
Need to wait for the documents and the instructions for appeal we only know about the partial decision but basically if partial decision is negative so is the migri. It’s so hard to wait and worry at the same time if they already made a decision why not send it right away so we can decide if he will go back home or stay and make an appeal

What formal qualifications in the cleaning sector make your brother "the one qualified for that position"?Miss_g wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2024 8:01 pmThe employee already sent an explanation to TE about it that they have a lot of applicants but my brother is the one qualified for that position especially working night shifts, weekends, and from one place to another and yes thanks for sharing this news this made me really confused if there’s a lot of demands for cleaners but matching them up can be difficult why they didn’t accept my brother’s application if the employer really thinks he is the right person for job.
Does the contents of the employment contract match the claims by the employer that your "brother is the one qualified for that position"?
In the current time of high unemployment where the government is trying to save money by radical cuts to healthcare and has already raised the VAT rate, noone would understand if a Residence Permit was granted to a person while someone else who could do the job instead is getting unemployment benefits from taxpayer money.
The duty of TE is to ensure that your brother is not stealing a job an unemployed person could do instead.
Most of these open jobs with demand are lowly paid zero-hour contracts.
These jobs don't guarantee any money, but the employer might request work at short notice at inconvenient times and pays only the minimum hourly amount permitted.
There's obviously always demand for people in these jobs, since the employer has no costs when he has hired someone but no work to available for that person.
For a full-time employed cleaner the minimum salary is 1922 Euro per month, with a vocational education in cleaning at least 1980 Euro.
The salary is higher for additional skills or responsibilities.
Plus night supplements and extra pay for weekend work.
A typical full-time cleaning job in Finland pays around 2200-2300 Euro, which is not much (not even two thirds of the average salary in Finland).
How much monthly salary does the contract of your brother guarantee?

I receive an email about the proposal of possible withdrawing of my RP card from migri. The asked me some questions and documents through email about my situation. So I gave all the documents and justification about my current situation. It's been 2 months that I gave all the replies to their questions. Last week I emailed them that I didn't receive any feedback from them about my proposal of possible withdrawal RP card. Then they replied me that migri made a decision. Police will contacted with me about the decision according their time schedule.
Will it be negative decision? Please help I am so worried about that
