Good morning, good afternoon,

At the end of my qualification period, I will have 179 XP. Obviously, I would like to reach 180 to gain the gold level. I called support to check what was the cheapest way to do it (I suspected a 2000 miles donation, but wanted to make sure), and the lady said that Flying Blue is automatically gifting 1 XP at the end of the period, and I do not need to do anything except making sure my last flight is credited before the end of the month.

However, I cannot find any mention of this commercial gesture on the website, and I am wondering how certain it is. Anyone has any info on the topic ?

Thanks!

Good afternoon,

I applied for citizenship 3.4 years ago, and earlier in the spring, sent in my request to conclude. As expected, it came back negative, and I have written the appeal letter, but before sending it, I am hesitating.

- I have no problem with any of the new requirements; I have been in Sweden for over 15 years, speak the language, know the culture and history.

- I however have no formal proof for the language and culture, and from my understanding, cannot acquire any for the time being.

- My kids, born and raised in Sweden, are on the same application and exempt from the tests as they are young.

My questions I guess are :

1. Could my kids get approved if I am rejected for lack of proofs for the language and culture? Or are is that an "all or nothing" case?

2. Would they deny me, or tell me that everything is fine, and I just need to pass the tests whenever they are ready before I can get my citizenship?

In other words, should I appeal, and risk being rejected by an accelerated review of my case, or s​​​​hould I continue waiting, probably 1-2 extra years (based on what I've read for recent cases), but get everything in place before they get to my file? ​

Thanks!
