Family immigration Noway

You cannot apply for a spouse family reunification visa before you are married.
However, because you have been living together for some time you may be illegible for the cohabitants visa.
You can find more info here:

Your partner is also eligible to apply for a residence card. More information here:

I hope this helps.

Hey nana, the processing times advertised on UDI are not so much based on individual cases. Generally, now that the processing time is 18 months for family reunification you should be prepared to wait that long :-(  You should be getting an email every month keeping you updated. Ask the father of your children, or your children if they are old enough to try and contact UDI and see if they can find out more.
Also, family immigration cases that involve children may take longer because they may require a DNA test.

well thanks. first 4 monthly updates said 9 months to wait then the later updates said it may take 18 months .woow ! that is a long time to wait  thou. we keep our figures crossed .  will confirm from udi after 9 months
want to know if anyone here is in same situation.

If it says 18 months now then it's 18 months. I'm sorry :-(
Good luck though.

Hello everybody

I just want to ask , about I applied a family reunification and applied here in Philippines , but it's already two months and I did not get any answer but suddenly , my husband got a letter from UDI that it says you have granted a temporary residence permit stay , but I was thinking, that it's approve but I don't got any mail from embassy and sms yet , and instead of sending me that letter they send it into Norway on my husband. . Is there's anyone can help me .

Thank you
Cristine

Hi Christine,

I applied fiancee visa and my boyfriend got the same decision letter from UDI too. The embassy sent sms and email though that I have been granted residence permit to me, maybe you have written a wrong phone number or email add? It is best to call the embassy. Goodluck.

Hello

But I give my exact number to them and email , my husband just kind of confuse a little bit why he is the one who got that letter instead of me , but I think positive now that they don't denied me then , but I don't have any red ribbon yet into the embassy and I did not pass a nso mc yet , that is just marriage contract original copy of municipal that we married already , do u think because of this cases I have , they won't give my passport till I don't give them my nso red ribbon marriage contract.

Thanks
Cristine
