Hei!
It is not so easy to find a job in Norway (especially with a Philippine passport). My brother used 1 year 450 applications, quite a number of interviews through Skype. They will always choose someone who can speak Norwegian before those cannot, unfortunately. It is not impossible, though. It will just take a long time. What kind of job are you looking for?

The processing time of fiancé visa is 9 months.

PS.... If your problem is meeting your fiancé 2 to 3 times, Moscow is just  2,5 hours away from Oslo. It is not so complicated to apply for a visa. You can check my blog about visa application to Russia.

Hey there,

Yes it is not easy finding a Job here. You basically have to be fluent in Norwegian. When I applied for my Fiance permit back in October, it was suppose to be only be 3 months, which changed to 6 and now is 9.....which makes things very difficult. I would recommend skipping the Fiance permit/ just come here and get married while you are "legally here", look for a job or take classes to become fluent in the language.

Filipinos cannot marry with a tourist visa, unfortunately. They have to marry in the Philippines or come over with a fiancé visa :(
