Hey everyone,
I’m writing this out of pure frustration and desperation. I’m an EU citizen (Italian) and I’ve been working full-time here in Copenhagen for a prominent restaurant group.
My application process with SIRI has turned into an absolute nightmare, and today was the breaking point. I’m currently being treated like a non-EU citizen, and because of their delays, my May salary has been completely frozen because I can't get a CPR number or a tax card. I literally have zero income right now and rent to pay.
Here is the timeline of this ridiculous situation:
May 6th: Attended my first biometric appointment at SIRI Valby. They told me my application was on hold because they needed an "Employer Declaration" clarifying my hours.

May 9th: I successfully uploaded the signed document from my employer.

Silence for 3 weeks: Tried calling them. Total waste of time. The operator just told me she couldn't give me any information.

June 1st (Today): I managed to book a second in-person appointment at Valby to explain that my salary is blocked and I'm in financial distress. I waited for over an hour just to be told: "The case is processing, you just have to wait." They completely refused to help or pass it to a caseworker.

The part that drives me crazy: Several of my Italian colleagues, with the exact same contract and employer, received their SIRI approval via secure email within 4 to 6 days. Meanwhile, I’ve been stuck in "review" for nearly a month, and the staff today implied that when it's approved, they might even send it via regular paper post, which will take another week.
I’ve already filed an urgent complaint with SOLVIT today for breach of EU free movement rights, and I’m pressing my company’s HR to see if they can issue an emergency advance payment (forskud) or pay me via nødskat (55% emergency tax) so I don't starve.
Has anyone else experienced this insane bottleneck with SIRI recently? Is there any way to bypass the frontline desk at Valby, or any internal number to escalate a case for financial emergency?
Any advice on how to handle the HR side or how to survive this Danish bureaucratic loop would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for reading. /vent over.
