Hello Friends,

Hi all, I applied for a skilled worker and handed in my passport. It has been a month, nothing so far. They haven't even registered my application (udi chatbox comfirmed). My passport is still at the embassy. I have started to get concerned. Vfs told me that they usually return passports in 2 weeks.

wlexonline

@Mskoselig from which country do you applied from. Vfs will inform you that your documents has been sent to embassy and embassy is yet to deliver it to UDI

wlexonline

@Mayowa Adeyemi any update from you regarding your work permit visa. You applied since January and no response yet. Have you try to call UDI

Mskoselig

@wlexonline I got an sms from the vfs global saying that my application was being forwarded to the embassy. I applied in the  UK

wlexonline

@Mskoselig alright great

Applicant0

@wlexonline  I have job in IT and I submitted my application in VFS New Delhi on 28.4.2023.

I recieved an email from UDI saying my application has been received on 4.5.2023.

After that I received another email from UDI saying it's still under process and no decision has been made.


Now it's almost a month and I'm still waiting for update

albmacho7

@Applicant0

4 months you have to wait at least.

Applicant0

@albmacho7  did you receive it yet ?

If yes after how many days of applying?

albmacho7

@Applicant0 I have submitted 14.02.2023 and so far I receive every 2 weeks an automated email from UDI that my case is waiting to be processed.

wlexonline

@albmacho7 ... I am still yet to receive a mail from UDI. I emailed the Norway embassy in Accra Ghana, I was told that my application was received 7days after VFS told me my application has been forwarded to the Norway embassy in Accra Ghana. Up till now no email or sms from UDI

Mayowa Adeyemi

@wlexonline No update yet, I can't call UDI directly cos I applied through my employer.

Mayowa Adeyemi

@ramikassab2 @lian chan You guys applied in January also right, any update?

wlexonline

@Mayowa Adeyemi ... That is true, because your employer applied on your behalf... Your sweet time is coming. Congratulations in advance

albmacho7

@sandeep kumar62

Yes mate. When I contacted UDi recently tbey say are processing cases over still 4 months waiting.

Ka_Sh

I applied at the Norwegian embassy in Stockholm, I was already a resident of Sweden. Nordic countries have some sort of agreement, that is why I think my case was processed faster. Good luck and I hope you get a positive decision.
