I submitted all documents for my B permit in mid January this yr but I have yet to hear back from them (I’m from Australia). How long does this entire process take. I would like to prepare for the move but can‘t. So annoying.
What type of B permit? As an Australian you need a Swiss employer to apply for a permit for you if it’s regarding work, you can’t do it yourself.
If it’s family reunification then your husband/wife/partner has to apply for the permit.
Agree with Medea, we need a bit more information in order to provide a reasonable guess. A common timeline I’ve read is 12 weeks if all paperwork is in order, so I’m guessing something is missing in your file. Also, what canton?
We have been helping some clients get Non EU permits recently. We are told there are currently delays at both the Kanton and Berne level, so 6 months wait is likely!
Kind regards
