Me and my wife got married last febuary in Wattwil canton St. Gallen, after the ceremony my wife was asked whether she would like to apply for Family Reunion for me and she gladly said yes, then they took our marriage Certificate and gave her other forms to fill, so after she had filled those forms they took them and gave us only Family Booklet.
Then we were told that they will forward the whole documents to the other respective department to handle the Family Reunion matter.
My question now is, Why uptil now we have not received any message from them? and my wife had been there twice and they just told her to wait for their message.
Is there anything behind it or is it the sitaution at the Moment? Please if anyone knows anything about this condition, Please i would be glad to read your text. Thanks

Are you currently in Switzerland, if yes on what kind of permit?

Many administrative things have slowed due to the virus situation. People working from home or simply furloughed and not working at all.

It is going to take some time to clear out the backlog. Be patient.

No, am living in Italy but i usually visit my wife and my daughter there and am not allow to pass 90 days.
I just have 5 years resident permit from Italy.

Oki Like bowlie said there are backlogs
Luckily you are not to far away, but it su..s the same.
Its never easy to be apart from the ones you love.

You guys are wonderful! I just understand that i have to be patient because am not the only one waiting.

I believe someone here can help me out.
Please how many rooms is allowed for Family Reunion, when one partner is living with 4 children in 4.5 rooms apartment and other partner wants to join them?

It seems that an appropriate appartement size is required (which makes sense).
Then what is appropriate is in your case I dont know.

I guess it also depends on the age of the children. While a 5 year old can share a room it might not be ideal for lets say a 16 year old.

I think the best is to contact the relevant authority to get clarification on what is expected.

Our children are 4.
The first one is 21 years old,
While the second is 14ys old,
The third is 6yrs and the last is 2yrs.
The big one is living in one room, then 2 are sharing one room, the last one is living in my wife's room.
Could this condition be acceptable or must we go for any apartment above 5 rooms?

Like I said it might be best to contact the relevant authority.

Personally I think it sounds a little tight from a comfort point of view, but thats just my humble opinion which is completley irrelevant in this case

Are any of you Swiss?

The rules are different if so.

Tom

Thats not fair
Learning something new every day !

Yes, my wife is a Swiss citizen Tom.

I am not an EU citizen, but am holding a 5 years resident permit from Italy.
I had a Swiss farmer friend that lives in fribourg and he told me to come and start Working for him.
So my question is, what type of document does he need to provide for me?

I could be wrong but Resident Permit does not mean that you will be treated as a EU Citizen. Only a EU Passport works. So you will be treated as Non-EU and same rules will apply.

He needs to ask for a work permit for you.

I want to mention that i have Swiss wife and a daughter, is there any advantage for me even though we have not apply for Family Reunion? I mean intense of work

How long does it take to apply for for Work permit?

Unless you apply for family reunification in Switzerland, right now an Italian permit or the Swiss wife will not help you much.

You could search what possibilities there are for seasonal workers? I´m sure there must be some clause for people who come here to help with harvests, during ski season etc?

I already have a Swiss friend that promised me of a work, but my question is, can he get a permit for me? Is there any posibilty of me getting a permit from him?

Although I suspect the rules are somewhat different to this for farm workers this does show how difficult it can be to get a permit.

You can't get a permit yourself, he would have to apply for one for you and meet whatever the conditions are for getting said permit.

Unless your wife is prepared to move to Switzerland and apply for a family reunification permit for you (she has to prove she can support you as her dependent and that the accommodation is big enough for both of you to get one) there's nothing in your situation which will help you.
