A status dilemma

Post by ajche » Mon Jun 13, 2005 10:41 am

Hi guys! Need some advice

Ive been in Finland for 5 yrs now and my B.1 visa will expire in July.

I already have applied for an A status (extended permit) and to my surprise I can only apply for an A status for 1yr.

Assuming I get a 1 yr A-status permit, it will presumably expire by next year (July2006).

And now my dilemma.

As soon as I get my A-status visa, I plan to apply my family for a residence permit based on family ties.

Assuming that their application will processed in 1year, it will coincide with the expiration of my 1yr A-status permit.

My question are:

How will my visa(expiring in 1yr) influence my family's application for a residence permit?

With this situation, I am afraid that the decision might not be according to our hopes of being together. Either they dont get a residence permit or I will be sent back home.

i will greatly appreciate any opinions on this matter.

Thanks
