UDI family immigration waiting time

@Nina Oslo I am Syrian and also still waiting from 6 months no reply except automatic email from udi every month that my application waiting to be processed in the queue.

@Nina Oslo it took me 5 months and 2 weeks to get an answer. It all depends on a number of factors like if you are both scheduled for an interview, if all documents as per checklist were delivered excetra! Lately, they're so many people getting an answer. Has your Partner tried to contact UDI to follow up? We used to call them once each month after receiving the monthly emails, then we kind of knew where we were at in the process.

@bayan. alyousef thanks for your reply. I also receive monthly emails.

@Nina Oslo  I think its better if your Norwegian partner calls them, cause they kind of tend to understand each other language wise. I applied from Qatar, i submitted the documents at the VFS in Doha on 23NOV21 and they were forwarded to the Nowergian Embassy in Abu Dhabi(UAE), who then forwarded to UDI. It took exactly 5 months and 2 weeks to get an answer. Basically once we received the 5th automated email, my husband called UDI and then we got to know that a case worker had been assigned on our application. An answer came in 2 weeks later, cause it was during Easter holidays.....hence the 2 weeks gap of waiting!

@Rachael1989  thank you for your message. Yes you are correct about a quicker reply after 1st January. This because UDI have updated their system.

@Maythe22nd I guess applications are processed quicker when you apply outside of Norway. Thanks for your messages, they have been very informative. Hope you have a lovely evening

@Nina Oslo welcome

@Maythe22nd hope you are doing well, I am just wondering if your case for family immigration was with your Norwegian partner or your partner holds a permanent residence in Norway?

@bayan. alyousef Yes, my partner is Nowergian. Theres this group on facebook for Norway immigration whereby, lots of people seems to share updates of being approved. Has your partner checked with UDI if she might be scheduled for an interview?

@Maythe22nd yes we contacted UDI and said we are still in the queue waiting to be processed 😔. I don't know why they are taking so long time like this

@Nina Oslo I was summit all the paper what they need in Norway police station. Before that we makes appointment for that case (family unification). I'm waiting almost 4 months.

@Rachael1989 Hello Racheal...Am Ugandan I also applied and handed in on 9th March 2022 but still waiting.I just wanted to kindly know how many years are given before you have to renew again.Congratulations by the way.

@Rachael1989 thank you dear

@Rachael1989 hi , please did you go for an interview when you applied for your residence permit visa?

@cikechukwu254 hello ,I didn't go for any interviews.

@Nina Oslo yes it takes so long. I applied from November 2020 and got answer in September 2021

Bonjour, Monsieur /Madame 

Je suis une femme burkinabée et je suis mariée à un homme de nationalité norvégienne qui vit en Norvège.

Nous nous sommes mariés au Burkina selon la loi burkinabè dans une mairie du Burkina.

Je veux vivre avec mon mari en Norvège.

Est-il possible pour moi de demander le regroupement familial? Comme j’ai 22 ans, j'ai vue sur L'uDi qu'il faut avoir au moins 24ans alors que j'ai 22ans, je suis enceinte de 6 mois et que je veux accoucher à côté de mon mari, est-ce possible pour moi de faire une demande de Regroupement Familial ? J'ai écrit à l'ambassade pour me renseigner mais il ne donne pas une réponse exacte.

Merci de m'aider svp.

Et aussi Quels documents dois-je joindre pour le regroupement familial?

@Rachael1989 wow...lucky u! Super fast how come some of us have waited for so long?

Though I had also visited Norway twice on visit visa and left the country on time ..not sure if that also added some points.i wish you all the best .

@Anita Aboagye Thanks for ur reply.. I believe that might have added some point..wish u all.the best..

@Anita Aboagye Thanks and best of luck
