The Swedish Migration Agency has faced a significant setback due to new security checks, resulting in a freeze on standard citizenship applications for over a month. Despite Migration Minister Johan Forssell's earlier assurances that certain groups would face no delays, the reality is that all nationalities are affected. While applications for citizenship by notification continue to be processed, the numbers for standard naturalization cases have plummeted, leading to drastic drops in approvals for countries like India and the UK.
The inability to approve standard citizenship applications has dramatically reduced the approval rates, with only six cases sanctioned in April compared to thousands in previous months.
Migration Minister Johan Forssell promised that work permit holders and those from nations without security risks would not suffer delays, but recent events have contradicted this pledge.
