Hi Malyn, If you are holding a visitor's permit or a residence permit in Sweden, then yes, you have to attend a seminar conducted by the CFO. You have a book it online. On the other hand, I am not fully sure but I don't think this seminar ... Read More

Hi @Girlzone! For residence permit, I got the decision 18 months after the application. For visitor's permit, I got the decision 2 montha after the application. Being nervous is normal and actually a good thing because it keeps you from being ... Read More

@Salwah! That's good to hear! But rationally speaking, @SimCityAT made a good point. Maybe you can consider that advice and bring it up to your partner, then maybe he can discuss it with his boss if possible. Bad case is that the migration ... Read More

Hi @Salwah Do what you can do best to appeal. Chances are it might or might not be good enough to submit only a letter. Certificate of Employment is the only legal document that can verify one's employment in a company. But it might also be ... Read More
