Well – what can I say?
I think all of you have been bored about my rants about our bad experiences with the Danish Immigration Services; we spent 14 months to wait for a permission to stay in Denmark – and we got the permission for 10 months for Elena, before we had to go back and reapply.
We were just (this summer, after 2 years in the country) starting to investigate the opportunities for refreshment courses for Elena (Danish) – when we decided to move.
In early October we submitted the application for Elena in Sweden; and this arrived in our mailbox within 30 days after our submission. Not only a quick reply – we also received a 5 month permission – so we don’t have to bother before 2011; which in the end makes peace of mind for us.
Elena has now been called in for an Interview – to evaluate her opportunities for language training in Sweden, and due to her “track records with our moving back and forth” – she was accepted into Malmö University to study Swedish.
We are now waiting for a kindergarten place for Max – hopefully Elena can start in school in Q1 or Q2 – and becoming acquainted with the Swedish language.
For all of you who doesn’t know; for a Dane like me – Swedish is not exactly a problem. The languages are so related – that I don’t really see the need for language training – but then again; perhaps I should be a little bit more active; the locals seems more friendly once you speak their language fully
