Awaiting for VISA approval

I have applied for a Work VISA and a Family VISA together. The DUF number was generated two weeks after submitting the documents at VFS. It has now been three weeks, and my employer in Norway has not yet received any email or verification regarding my employment from UDI or the Norwegian embassy.


  1. Typically, how long does it take to receive VISA approval after the DUF number is created?
  2. Will UDI contact my employer in Norway for verification purposes?


Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
