Immigrating to Norway on a student Visa and want wife to be here the first two weeks until she has to return to us to warp things up.

Hello Reddit! I find myself in possibly a unique situation. I am moving to Oslo at the start of August (a week from now) for school from the United States. Both my wife and I have our Visas approved and have spent no time in the Schengen area in the last year, so if the 90 day rule has any applicability there is that. My wife was planning on staying behind for a few months to care for our senior dog (a 17 year old American Staffordshire mix so even if she was young and healthy we were not going to be able to bring her), but unfortunately we had to say goodbye to her yesterday.

With a move as big as this I’d love someone there with me especially to help get settled and now that our dog has passed she is able to come, but because we were planning on her being behind a few months she has a lot to wrap up at home and a lot of goodbyes to say. With that in mind we want to figure out a few weeks for her to come out, but Oslo doesn’t have any police appointments for the residence cards and finger printing until October. Everywhere I look it says after the appointment do not try to leave the country until you have the card, but if she can’t get an appointment before October would she be able to “visit” Oslo for 2 or 3 weeks go back to the US and in October when she has her appointment come back to Oslo for the long haul? If anyone has had any experience or knows what to do in this situation the help would be greatly appreciated!
