Hi MK, number one, you must be engaged to be married in order to move here with him, unless you come on a student visa. But to live here permanently, you must marry him within 6 months of being approved. I would advise you to go to the UDI site for all rules and regulations, as there are only a few ways to come here and they are; engagement visa, student visa, family visa (a child under 18 of a Norwegian resident), work visa or seeking assylum. I wish you luck and if you need any help regarding an engagement visa, please feel free to pm me, as I am an american married to a Norwegian, so have been through it.

Hi again MK, sorry it's been awhile but I have been swamped with school (norskkurs) and holiday preperation as well as prep for 3 friends from the US ariving on the 3rd, so I have been insane with running around like a chicken with no head lol :P

Anyways having an associates degree means you have had 2 years of UNI, no? I know that credits can transfer to a point but the school system here is very different and at times requiring more education. I am a CNA myself (hjelpepleier) but I do not speak the language well enough to attain work in my field, being that the elderly here know little to no English, so it is imperative to speak fluently, hence my being back in school.

I don't know if this link will help, but it tells about studying in Norway by an actual student. It does tell how to apply to UNI's here, so I hope this helps you.

And like I said before, the UDI has all rules and reg's, so be sure to pour thoroughly through it all. BTW I moved here as the wife of a Norwegian as Terje came to the US first where we were married and decided he didn't like the work ethics in the US and having no job security, so 8 months later he came back home and sent for me after I sold my home. I applied for residency near to 3 months after coming here on a normal tourist visa and was able to stay during the process. It took about 6 to 9 months before I was approved. I wish you luck and like I said if you need any help with preparing the process of engagement visa, or if you marry prior, just ask ;)
