Another Positive Decision!

Our client, the spouse of an EU citizen, reached out to us with uncertainty surrounding their legal status in Finland. The family—two adults and one child—had relocated to Finland over five years ago to build their life together. However, due to periodic job disruptions and administrative delays, questions had been raised regarding the legitimacy of their continued stay.

During this time, the client’s spouse had successfully acquired permanent residency status in Finland as an EU citizen residing for over five years. Still, the client faced an additional information request from the Finnish Immigration Service that cast doubt on their right to remain in the country as a family member of an EU citizen.

We carefully assessed the family’s history and responded comprehensively to the additional information request. In our response, we highlighted the lawful nature of the client’s residence, the family’s uninterrupted presence in Finland, and the strong integration of the client into Finnish society as part of a stable EU citizen household.

As a result of our detailed legal reasoning and timely intervention, the Finnish Immigration Service issued a positive decision. The client was granted a permanent residence card under EU law, with unrestricted right to work in Finland.
