Hello,

I would like to know how long the renewal of the B card typically takes? Is it normal to not receive anything for 4 weeks? When asked at the commune what's the issue, they told me that they are waiting for a reply from Brussels and that I should wait to receive an invite! Any ideas what might be the reason?

Thanks in advance!

The reason could be that your application is just one of thousands that need processing, so be patient.

@stumpy thanks for your reply! It's okay, i can wait, I was just wondering whether it's a normal timeline or there might be an issue because some sources claim that this process is quick.
