Hello Everyone,
I hope you'll help me with this matters.  I have a Swedish man and he is currently working and a citizen of Norway.  We're married, last October 24th ,2018. We've been trying so hard to get everything done and gathered information for me to get to Norway however ,I am still confused and what I should I do.  I have all the papers but the matter now is what is the right visa I should apply for? And what do I needed to do?  My husband is now in Norway and I left alone here in Philippines to process my visa.  We planned to apply residence card to Norway when I get there. 

If you have any more questions please message me.  I would really appreciate it. 
Thank you very much.  Hugs.

Hei Avegail,

Since you are now married, you can apply for a family immigration with spouse. Just visit UDI website and its all in there.

Best Regards,

Hello, how's your application?
I am a Filipina too, married to a Norwegian man. We got married on April last year in Philippines, and applied for a family immigration visa late of May. My visa was approved on July last year.

Hi, usually the length of the process depends on the situation. For what I heard and experienced the fastest is 2 weeks. If the application was forwarded to UDI then it can take longer. 6mos and up. Every case is different so it's only them who can really provide you a definite answer.

Mine took two weeks, while some I know took 6mos to a year. We still didnt know what's the difference between our applications. But atleast in the end we've been all approved.

Waiting for the answer is the hardest part😩.Going through your e-mails everyday,checking if you got something in your inbox.I hope we will have positive result soon.

Sagittarius83

Yes I always did and yesterday I received email it means it will take longer before I get the result?

Your application for a Residence Permit was sent to the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) in Oslo for processing. For more information on the processing times, you may refer to this link: http://www.udi.no/en/word-definitions/c … ing-times/ 

The Embassy will notify you once a decision has been made by the UDI.

Kind regards,
Royal Norwegian Embassy, Manila
