Hi Reyna


I a m sorry that you have had to wait so long.  I am Canadian and was looking to come to be with my Norwegian partner and just to get an appt with the police, which is mandatory, it took 8 months but after that is was another 3 months to get my Norwegian Personal number.  Things here take 3 times as long as it does back hone and have had to learn to be more than patient when getting things done.  I would not worry, they will get back to you.  If you need to talk you can message me directly.

Hi everyone! is there anyone here who has applied for family immigration last year 2022 and got an answer from udi. I applied september 2022 and still waiting (6 months now)

Reyna208

Hi @WK22, we are on the same situation.I applied last September also and still waiting for an answer.

Guest7895

@Reyna208 it first said 4 months but now they have updated it to 7 months waiting time

Reyna208

Yes, they extended the waiting time. Sometimes i can’t stop myself to worry and overthink.🥺I hope will get our residence permit soon.🤞ðŸ¼ðŸ™ðŸ¼

I applied in August 2022, Udi received my application in 2nd September. This is my 7th month and still waiting. My husband and I have been calling to recieve update but nothing yet . I sent an email to the Udi, they said a case officer will likely process my case sometime next month April. That will be 8 months.



it’s really put a lot of stress on me and I find it depressing that I can’t live with my husband since we got married. Yeah well there are visits but that cost more.


I wish everyone to stay strong as I am trying to. I hope for thé best

@Erica Ray hi Erica, i am waiting since october. But I am in Norway while i am waiting. Its also another stress to wait here. I feel you... i think this waiting time one of the longest waiting time for RP all over the world. I dont know why, and i am not sure why everything is so difficult. Stay strong!

Erica Ray

@Cansu Sømhovd Thanks â¤ï¸

Reyna208

@Cansu SÃ,mhovd .We are on the same situation.Waiting since October and im also here in Norway. And i get stress so much thinking about it. We need to be strong and positive.

Cansu Sømhovd

@Reyna208 yes we have to... but the winter was too long... and i am in country side. Nothing to do so much but over thinking... 😑

I received mine after 17 months.

You can always email UDI.

They seem to reply in a few days.

Good luck to all that are waiting.

It takes a lot of patience to get to the end but it will come.

@scubajeep12 congratulations 🎉 God is good ! Hope to get mine soon as well, am on 16 month now!

Rachael1989

@Anita Aboagye yes I also thought so

Cansu Sømhovd

@scubajeep12

Happy for you !!!


I have 2 questions if you can answer ;

Were you here in norway during waiting time ?


Was it your first applicatiin ?


I am here in norway and its my first application.


So politi told me that i can stay in Norway during waiting time.  But somehow I cant trust that if politi was correct ðŸ˜

Reyna208

@Cansu Sømhovd UDI told me before i am allowed to stay and wait here in Norway.

Rachael1989

@Cansu Sømhovd I applied from outside Norway so I waited in my country .

@Rachael1989 did you do DNA? If yes how long did it take for them to answer you after DNA ?

Milly_12_12

Did anyone had interview in Oslo? How long did it took before u had interview?

Rachael1989

@gplaytime DNA for you or the child(ren) ?

gplaytime

@Rachael1989 me and the children

Rachael1989

@gplaytime it took 2month but it depends were your husband is leaving in Norway too.mine signed his paper at the embassy so didn't have any appointments for DNA when he went  back.after that it took one week and we got the passport from the embassy.

gplaytime

Ok, that was easy… I guess we have different case, I have applied with my child so it’s different

Rachael1989

@gplaytime aaah okay

Milly_12_12

How long did it take before u had interview with the police in Oslo (if u applied in 2021/2022). Anyone who didn't had any interview with the police in Oslo even if they are from Asia?

Hi,

Just last week the waiting time has been changed to 9 months for applications submitted after Jan 2022. Can anyone confirm if you've received your visa already when you submitted after Jan 2022? How long did you wait?


Seems like UDI keeps changing their wait time and the wait is causing stress and anxiety. :(

Reyna208

Hi, I have not receive yet my permit. Submitted my application last October 2022. And i agree the longer waiting time stressing me out also.😥🥺

gplaytime

I guess they are trying to finish up the 2021 applications, cause I called UDI asking for the status of my case, they told me it will take 2 months for them to finish with my case because they are now trying to clear all 2021 applications b4 end of June!

and in May it will mark exactly 18 months, so it makes sense to me as I applied Nov 2021.

the wait…. Is really annoying..!

hope we will all get our decision soon!

island_mestiza

It seemed like they lack the resources or case workers.


Knowing the bulk of work I think it would be beneficial for all if only UDI will just add case workers to review the applications instead of having to move the dates often. 🤔

Erica Ray

Hi

Does anyone know if the newly updated waiting time on udi applies to applications that they are already processing /  opened ? Or is just for those that they have not opened?

Cansu Sømhovd

@Erica Ray for all cases waiting time for 9 months to finish. But already prosessing may take shorter i believe.

Badria Mohamoud

@Nina Oslo hey nina did u get approvied still please.?

Erica Ray

@Cansu Sømhovd thanks for your reply

Erica Ray

@Cansu Sømhovd what about you ? How is your application process going ?

Cansu Sømhovd
