Hi, I am from Philippines I applied for Visa for Marriage last September 23, 2022

I got an interview from Belgium Embassy in Manila: October 7, 2022

Sent my application to Belgium Home Office: October 10, 2022

I sent them an email about the status of my application: November 24, 2022 and infodesk replied

"We have received the visa application and it is currently being treated. As soon as a decision is taken it will be communicated by the diplomatic post which will invite the visa applicant and give the decision"

My fiance and I have received an email from his municipality last October 5, 2022 that the Immigration Department in Brussels has approved our proposed marriage

Anyone here can help how much longer should I wait for the visa?

@rhea serenado hi Ms. Rhea so far that is the latest update from timeline I could provide, so having the approved proposed marriage means my visa cant be denied anymore right?

Just wait for the VFS to message you, they will send you an email about the approved visa, and then the embassy will send your passport back attached with the visa. 😊
