Post new topic

Prisca Faergen

Hello,

I am a kenyan girl married to a norwegian man. Am looking for information regarding the period it takes to get the visa. The udi website says upto 15months. I feel like its a damn long time. Any kenyans that have been granted family reunion visa? Kindly talk to me. TIA.
