Positive Decision in One Day!

Our client approached us after receiving an additional information request from the Finnish Immigration Service, and it was immediately clear that the case had moved beyond a routine stage. The authority was asking detailed questions about the relationship, cohabitation, future plans, and even raised the possibility of deportation and an entry ban.

When a case reaches this point, the outcome depends entirely on how the response is handled. The initial concern was not the lack of a relationship, but the way the situation had been presented. Important details were either unclear or not explained in a way that allowed the decision-maker to understand the reality of the family life.

We prepared a structured response that addressed every point raised. At the same time, the response dealt directly with the most serious aspect of the case. The possibility of deportation was addressed through legal reasoning, focusing on proportionality, family life, and the requirement for an individual assessment. The aim was to remove any uncertainty from the file and ensure that the authority had a complete and accurate understanding of the situation.

The result followed quickly.

On 24 April 2026, the Finnish Immigration Service granted a continuous residence permit based on family ties, valid for four years, with unrestricted right to work. The decision was made in one day from the moment the response was submitted.

The speed of the outcome reflects the importance of timing and clarity. Once the missing elements were properly presented, there was no longer a basis for delay or refusal. The case that had been moving toward a negative decision was resolved positively because the full picture was finally visible.

Our client now continues their life in Finland with stability, together with their family, without the uncertainty that had been building before the response was submitted.
