How does a request for a decision work?
If your case has not been decided within six months you can in writing request that Migrationsverket decide it under Section 12 of the Administrative Procedure Act. The authority must then decide the case or reject the request within four weeks.
How to do it
Submit a written request (form available from Migrationsverket, or via the e-service) with your case number. The request can be made at the earliest six months after you submitted the application, and only once per case.
What happens next?
Within four weeks Migrationsverket must either decide your case or reject the request in a separate decision. A rejection of the request can be appealed to the Migration Court, which may order Migrationsverket to decide the case promptly.
Always check current rules with Migrationsverket as rules may change.
