Processing update

Denmark's citizenship freeze reportedly ends: waiting applications can be decided again, The Local says

See if it affects you.

The Danish Ministry of Immigration and Integration, which decides citizenship cases, says the citizenship bill that lapsed when the election was called will be put to parliament again. People who were on that bill will have their cases checked again and will receive a letter. People who were not on that bill still wait, with no date given, until it is clear what conditions will apply.
