	“Appropriating” Norway – Polish Migrants’ Settlement Patterns in Norway The article aims to analyze Polish migrants and their family migration patterns to Norway, as well as how they adjust to the new country. It is based on qualitative (24 interviews, wintersummer 2014) and quantitative (web-survey, May-June 2015, 648 respondents) research conducted in the framework of the TRANSFAM project. Official statistics and earlier study results are also applied. The author gained additional knowledge from observations made during her visit as a visiting researcher at Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences. On the basis of the analysed material, it can be concluded that regardless of their initial plans, Poles  prolong their stay in Norway. Together with the development of a migrants network and a growing number of children born there or brought by their parents, Polish migrants’ stay in Norway turns into a long-term one. A dominant pattern of primary male migration at the beginning of the 21st century has been accompanied by the stable family migration pattern.
