Applying for Family Reunification

Post new topic

juju328

Hello everyone. I just submitted my application for family reunification in Swiss Embassy Qatar where I currently reside. My husband just recently got naturalized in Switzerland so now we started to process my application for National Visa D. I just want to ask if any of you who had the the same experience as to how long the process will take considering that we got married in Geneva, Switzerland in 2014.

Thanks and hoping for positive feedbacks from you.
