Hello,
Is't really obligatory to complete 550 hours norwegian course and the 50 hours social study? Before when I was an aupair I have studied for 1 semester which is for 130 hours after that I stop. Now I am already 2 years here in Norway and I got married already. I got approved for a family reunification visa and my temporary permit is valid only for 1 year. I am planning to study norwegian course next year. My question is on December 2017 I will be living in total of 3 years here in norway. Am i qualified already to apply for permanent resident permit? They said that I have to finish the required courses before I apply for permanent.
I know that if I take day shift course i can easily finish the required hours . But I am planning to find a work and planning to take night shift course. If I take the night course theres no way for me to complete the 600 required hours in 1 year.
If ever i havent able to finish the 600 hours course by next year is't possible for me to apply for the renewal of my family reunification visa? Can I apply for permanent visa anytime? Or automatically if someone live for 3 years already she/he should apply the next visa for permanent?
Anyone can advice me what the best thing to do? Should I just enroll day course for me to finish early or a night course that will take long time?
Thanks everyone.
