Hi, it seems like my residence permit has been approved pending the financial guarantee. We just received a letter in the mail from Udlændingestyrelsen that my application is under review and that I shouldn't leave Denmark until the case has been completed. The problem is that I am in the US right now for work (I had asked about that before on this forum, and it seemed like it was allowed). The language is a bit strange and I'm not sure what we should do. (It also seems a bit late; they say that I should receive a final decision OR a request for a financial guarantee by Jan 27th, but I already received the request for a financial guarantee last week!) It says that I need a tilbagerejsetilladelse to be able to leave Denmark, and that I have to get it BEFORE I leave Denmark, which of course is impossible now. They also say that if I don't get it before I leave, then I can't enter Denmark until I have received my residence permit. It's all kind of strange, especially because, as an American, I'm a part of the visa waiver program, and they refer many times to needing a visa. (They mention that isn't possible to get a visa to enter Denmark while my case is being handled).

What should we do? Should we contact Udlændingestyrelsen or is it best to just wait until I have received my residence permit and enter then? It sounds like I should receive it fairly soon, so if the part about waiting until I have received it is true, maybe its easiest to let it be until I have received their final answer about my residence permit?

You have most likely received a standard letter.

If they are supposed to send your residence permit to your address in USA, of course you should wait until it comes. But if you have not exceeded the visa-free number of days per half-year you are allowed in DK, there should not be any problem entering DK.
