They did not ask me to make an appointment. Just emailed my husband.do you 2 had separate email 3 weeks ago?

Sarahsatchie

Yes, my fiancée got an email from MV requesting he submit the floor plans for his place... We were very shocked to get this kind of request and thought it was a bad sign.

Then last week they emailed him again to ask for his last three payslips. He submitted this to MV and the same day I got two emails from MV: 1) request to submit additional information; and 2) request to contact the Swedish embassy in my country to make an appointment for an interview.

MV is working through their current backlog and they are really driving effiencies. I guess at this stage because they are trying to clear backlog there isn’t clear cut processes like before when the volumes were much less.

All the best! Hang tight it will all work out, it is only a matter of time! 🙋ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸ðŸ§˜ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸

Did your husband literally went to MV office? And not call them?
We had same experience from you.. they emailed my fiancee and asked for payslip. Then after a day, i recieved an email to contact swedish embassy. I  did the interview  and just waiting for their decision.

Guestposter98

Both of them, It was last Thursday, and because of off days in Sweden, I guess I've not been received any emails.
When did you do your interview? Are you waiting for a long time since then?

Clarisse1022

@legend- just a week now.

ReynaRosete

Did u recv already ur decision.im from duvai ibterview last feb.havnt heard anything till now.😣

Salwahallison

Like Sarah and Claireise said , it's a good sigh ..they did that for us as well ,they contacted my partner in Sweden to ask for his work contract and chat history and pictures then a week they emailed me to book for an interview ..and yes someone is looking in your case (an administrator ,the one checks if you meet the requirements  or not ),  good luck in us Iam still awaiting for the decision anxiously ☺ï¸

ReynaRosete

Did they ask more documents before interview?or after? Because they never ask me after interview.

Guestposter98

It seems that no one goes through the application when you ask something from the status of your case. Just copy and paste!

Salwahallison

They asked my partner (Swedish ) about his work contract and chat history before I got the email to book for the interview .
Sometimes after or before

Normally after is when they are close to making a decision :)

Hi Everyone,   
I  applied online and  now waiting for the decision, I am wondering if anyone has any information to share regarding the moving process specific about interview, what  is the common questions they usually asking about it in an interview?
Do they asking for extra documents or fees  in  an interview or in biometric ?

Regards
Hakimmo

Salwahallison

Hi Hakimo no no fees is requested .
Questions asked
1:when did you guys meet and how
2:what future plans you two have
3:names of the family of the Swedish partner (if you have met them (sometimes siblings )
N/B: all the original documents you scanned during application time ,you bringthem like passport chat history ,pictures ..

The interview is based on how you answered in the application form they are just asking them again to see if the answers do seem the same :)
Good luck
Salwah

Salwahallison

Iväntan på familjen THE GROUP IN FACEBOOK GUYS  ..all the questions and people's experiences are post you will will feel like a family not waiting alone

Hakimmo

Thanks salwahallison for  your replied to my topic.Hoping to get their answer so soon.
How Can I book for the interview?

Salwahallison

Hakimo ,MV will email you to book for an interview at your homeland country .
When you get this email you contact the embassy with your case number /check number saying you have been asked to book for an interview then embassy will give u the date for interview

Good luck :)

Sarahsatchie

Does anybody know how long it takes for MV to issue the outcome after you have done your interview and biometrics?

Hakimmo

Thanks  Salwahallison for your reply. Did  you receive  your  permit card?
How long does it take? How long does permit card  valid?

Salwahallison

Sarah ,no one knows this exactly since I did my interview in December and no decision yet till now .

Salwahallison

Hakimo I have not received the decision yet ,hopefully soon I get a postive answer :)
Normally the permit card is valid for 1-2 years then you apply for extension which if you were given ut(1year) they give u another 1year .
If they give you 2years (tut) then they give u permanent residency ,
With that said you have to stay in the same adddress for two years with your partner in Sweden in order to be given a permanent residence :)
Good luck to us and hopefully I have answered your question
Salwah

Sarahsatchie

Thanks Salwa - I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that your feedback will come through soonest. 🙌🤣

Salwahallison

Guestposter98

Guys, I received an email asking me to book an appointment ✌ï¸ðŸ‘you  were right,less than  2 weeks after submitting maintenance requirement

Hakimmo

Thanks  Salwah  for your reply and  to answered my questions.
  I have heard that some people have got 5 year permit card. Is that true?

             Good luck to us
              Hakimmo

Salwahallison

That's good news when did the embassy give you for the interview ?☺ï¸

Salwahallison

Hakimo there's various permit cards
UT – residence permit (uppehållstillstånd)
TUT – temporary residence permit (tidsbegränsat uppehållstillstånd)
PUT – permanent residence permit (permanent uppehållstillstånd)

The applicant applies for UT and Migrationsverket determines if one is granted TUT or PUT (depending on one’s case).

Good luck ðŸ‘ðŸ½

Guestposter98

Thanks,I've just asked them to set an appointment for me,waiting for the answer

Salwahallison

They will reply soon fingures crossed that theirs no long waiting period 🙈 But all in all atleast something is moving , the waiting not knowing what is going on it's soo frustrating 😫

Good luck hun

Hi guys! I'm currently in Sweden but will be at home in the Philippines next week. I will apply my resident permit to live with someone in Sweden once I get home. But I have a problem with the documents I have to attached, can you enlighten me about the requirements since it's not indicated specifically on the website; so far i have Cenomar, passport and passport copies, our photos together, and Swedish tax report from my fiancé. Anything else's required? And also is the Embassy of Sweden in Manila still handle Resident permit to Sweden, bcoz I heard from a Filipina here they are no longer process application, and move it to Norway Embassy instead, is that true?

Thanks in advance and looking forward for answers

Winter

Hej kompisar!
I applied for the residence permit to move to my spouse on October last year. I had my interview and biometrics taken on May 18th this year at the Embassy of Sweden, New Delhi, India. I am waiting for the decision now.

I am a little too sad that it’s summer time now, I hope this doesn’t slow down the decision making.
Good luck to my fellow companions waiting for their decision. I hope it happens soon for you all :)
