if you are a US passport holder, I think you'll still need a visa to move here legally, and the only category that might be relevant to you is asylum, but you can read through the types of visa and immigration rules here:



As for information on crisis help, I work with an organization that has connections to the Oslo crisis center, but I'm not sure how much help they can offer to someone who's not actually in the country.Ìý



is there a reason you specifically want to move here? Do you have other ties to the country that might prove useful for building a case for why you need to live here above all other places?

Thank you.Ìý I read previously asylum was for people fleeing countries for fear of persecution (and maybe death for their, ie: religion), but domestic violence or being hunted was not one of reasons to get asylum.Ìý Am I wrong?Ìý I do only have Google (and forums) to rely on for info since I am not there....

Im looking to Norway as it is ranked one of the best countries for alot of things, eg: raising children, free Uni, quality of life, equality for women, and more.Ìý I have no ties there.Ìý My ties in the USA are abusive and violent so anywhere not in USA is a choice-BUT I want the BEST choice for me and my baby.

I am a survivor (in life), so I dont need ties to a place to go there like most people need or want.Ìý But I do understand the govmnt wants to make sure you are not a moocher--which I am not---and you can support yourself, which I can.Ìý I would like to know there is some resources available for DV survivors though as I have never been there I would hate to show up and everything I read about it being a great country is actually a woman hating place Ìý

Also, I am deeply moved to become entrenched in the fight against DV.Ìý Surviving what I have seems to have sparked that.Ìý I have always been a warrior for others, and a fighter for equality, plus a volunteer---but now, I am thinking this may be my lifes work.

I will check out your links, thank you so much

I do think you'll have a hard case to sell as a refugee since the US is a large country and there isn't systematic repression of women that make it impossible to divorce or escape from an abuser.Ìý Why would moving to Norway help your case in a way that moving across country wouldn't? How would your husband be unable to reach you here in a way that protects you better? Thesethe kinds of questionsÌý you wouldÌý have to haveÌý compelling answers to, and as youÌý say, this is a countryÌý with a lot of benefits so theyÌý are very selective about who is allowedÌý to settle legally.

Your other option would be to try immigrating the more typicalÌý ways, through specialised work qualifications or studies. Both of these visa types are detailed in the link I posted above.

The faster way to get legal residence in Norway is skilled worker permit.Ìý But that will require you to have a certain academic achievement and a job contract.Ìý I will suggest that you try to google for job opportunities.Ìý My friend found all her jobs via linkedin and job agencies in Norway.

After that, depending on the age of your child and your annual income, he or she will be able to move to Norway via family unification permit.

I have never came across people who get residence due to dv overseas.Ìý BUT I did came across a friend who claimed DV from her norweigan husband in norway and was granted residence based on grounds of DV in Norway.

Hello, i am not an expert in this matter, but I would highly recommend try to get in contact with the UDI by phone and ask them these questions, because they could have exceptions and that isnt listed on their website. OR get in contact with the Norwegian embassy in the U.S.

I really hope you get to move from the U.S. as soon as possible.
