Good Day everyone! My name is Ailenne from Olongapo Phil. I applied for a resident permit Sept 7,2015. Ive been to Gävle Sweden this year and stayed there with my boyfriend for 72 days. The whole summer June 2015 to August 2015 with a schengen visa. I was able to meet his family and friends. I met my friends there too coz I have a few Swedish friends. During my stay we decided that I should move there with him. My friend (swedish national) also convinced me to apply for a permit coz when his boyfriend (gay couple) applied for a permit it's been granted in less than 4 months. So when I go back here in the phil, we did the whole process. We submitted our application online. Before doing the process I read on the website that the waiting time is just max 4 months. but just at the beginning of october I checked it again and it says the waiting time is 6 to 12 months due to the asylum seekers... But we are keeping our hopes high. Hoping we will get it soon. Up until now we dont have any response from the migration. Now that I read your posts here it made me feel more sad and frustrated... It seems its really gonna take forever to get the permit. I miss my boyfriend so much. Good thing he decided to come over again and spend the holidays with me this december. But after that I don't know, another schengen visa is impossible...
