I鈥檝e applied to move to my partner in Sweden on 04 July 2017, we are still waiting for MV to let us know about the interview and biometrics.

Wow sarah. I came and moved to sweden at the same time as you. 4th July. But i have already got everything done, all the processes took just less than 1 week. Such as, Residence Permit, Personnummer, Swedish ID kort, And Bank ID. Well good luck to you.
Can anyone聽 know how long will it take to get results from mv. ?
Thanks,

This is my story, i just want to share this and give me some advice. I鈥檓 from the Philippines. Apparently, I had an AuPair Job Offer last year, My host family applied for my Visa online at MV last October 2017, we thought this process was easy, It鈥檚 April now and my case is still pending decision. My host family gave up already last March, becausethey waited for like 5 months, my language course started already last Month too. Now, i dont know what I鈥檓 supposed to do now with the floating visa application. Can i still use it to another host family or should i reapply again and wait forever? This left me devastated because i left my job here because we thought I鈥檇 be there soon.
Have you process the papers in embassy and have you attend an interview because without interview they don't process your papers
I come here tourist and we extend for 6 months and now we applied for permanent
In order to search for a permanent you have to have lived with your partner /husband together in Sweden for a max 2-3years then you can search for permanent.
Also if I understand correctly you applied when in Sweden or before coming to Sweden ?
I applied in Sweden but they said that it's not allowed to process here and some people said also that the MV give me penalty for this. But I don't do anything wrong I only want to live with my husband. Is that really true that I've got ban for 5 years?
I was a aupair too before in Denmark. What happened is your host family send a papers to you? In my case I was applied an aupair 2014-2016 with the help of my aunt in Denmark then. My host family interviewed me via Skype. And they send me the application papers and my insurance and of course I accompanied with my paper in Philippines. On June I process my paper in royal Danish Embassy manila I paid 18k for the process of my visa got biometric also and I appointment my interview. After interview I got my visa on July since my arrival is on August. The processing of the visa is 2-3 months. Is your host family follow up your papers in Sweden. Because that is their job also not only your. If there is something luck of the requirements the embassy called you and ask that from you or to your host.
Iam not a position to tell u if they will ban you ,but if already you have been to an interview then they didn't see any reason to reject it before calling you for an interview .
For me that's a good sigh and keep positive
,I left Sweden June last year and applied august 2017 did interview with biometrics and all but nothing from MV I minis man soo badly ,
but am looking at the price it will be worth it
I sent email last week and until now I did not receive a reply yet what is the status of my application if my case having case officer or what 馃槥
I received a reply from MV and my case don鈥檛 have assigned case officer yet I am still on the queue 馃槥馃槥馃槥
Goodluck to all of us 馃憤馃徎

As I told, I applied for residence permit to live with my husband in Sweden.Because of the rule, we don't need to meet maintenance requirement. Nevertheless last week, they emailed my husband and asked for additional information about housing and residence permit.
My husband went to MV to ask why?聽
And also registered his house lease contract聽 and salary.
The officer told him,it is not necessary to register and after registering these kind of documents, MV checks whether application needs to complete with them or not?
I have no idea, is it a good sign for us?
I think they assigned an officer to us, do I need to wait for long time, despite the fact that our application is in permit unit(I think)?
I cross my fingers to get our residence permit as soon as possible 馃檰, Given that I've heard MV is not crowded as it used to be.
This is a good sign - we got a similar requestthree weeks ago and now I have an interview 馃檶
Stay positive!
