Residency /schengen visa

Post new topic

Salwahallison

Hallo my name is salwah from Kenya.. Me and my boyfriend applied our residence application in September after a month they called my boyfriend about us about our communication and pictures just proof to see if we are really a couple. I got an email for the interview in December, my boyfriend wants me to apply the tourist visa to visit him but am afraid since I read here that,the visa takes 2months to get it they send it to the immigration (because we applied for the residency)  plus also when Ian in Sweden in this visit my application would be paused until I come back to my country... For me I think it's better to wait for the decision after the interview... Please anyone who knows about this rules or how it goes please attend to my question..
I'm glad its going faster for us since people tend to wait long for even an interview 😁
