hi
sorry if i used tagalog cos im not really in english but oky i will try my best..
i applied for family reunion visa ..we are already married with two kids.. i did not receive any mail from embassy since i applied except of the letter that they granted my application 2 months after...but its only entry visa that good for 3 month ..while im waiting for my residence card ...the residence card you have to apply for it when you already here in norway one month before your entry visa expired...
...for the other question...yes my husband sponsor me so most of the document that i gave to embassy was from him...and our two kids they had both pilipino and norwegian passport .so they dont have any problem.
