It has been a difficult process, very sad. I hope you will get your card soon. A friend of mine, who was born in Finland and lived there until the age of 17, but later came to Turkey, wanted to visit his older sister, who lived there 18 years later. This friend of mine still has Finnish citizenship. However, he did a lot of paperwork for about 6 months, just as you mentioned. He was able to go to Finland only 8 months after the first application. I don't understand what they are doing, what they want. This is really weird.
You see, this is a better comment. Comment like this around the platform and you will do okay :)
Yeah, I don't know about repatriation and that kind of thing. If I wanted to become a citizen, it gets much more difficult and I would also have to do language tests and stuff. However, this is permanent residency, I keep my own nationality, but have "almost" the same rights as Finns. I can vote in local elections, but not in federal.
I'm learning :) I will make better comments from now on. I don't know much either, but I know it's a tough process. I hope everything turns out the way you want.
Good to hear :)
