I checked but there are just only questions there and not a single solution

I applied on the 28th of February 2023 and I've not been able to track up till now, so I need to be worried?? Because I guess it's 6 weeks already

@Mahnoor Naseer i applied on 17th march i dont even know if my file is sent to  brussels or not , i havent heard anything since

@Spencer Gee Gold atleast yours is been sent to brussels , i think it takes time before it uploads they said on here on thw forum, with mine i havent even gotten email concerning if my file has been sent or not, it has been quite after application

@Spencer Gee Gold There is nothing much you can do, but wait. If you havent heard anything back in 120 days, then you can worry. But now my advice would be to wait patiently. They will contact you if they need more information.

@Tachelle McCarthy Yes. It is quite an interesting experience. But once you are here in Belgium you will find that most of the procedures are like this and takes its own time.

@arjunprasad2143 oh okay i applied last month and after it has been quite ever since , it is confusing when they say you should have a complete file so they can process it fast i guess it will teach us to be patient and be hopeful 🤞

Thanks for your response, I guess waiting patiently is the only option but one thing I'm still confused of is that I heard that the general EU rule of law states that it shouldn't be more than 3 months for family reunion but on the Belgium site, they are still indicating “6 months”.

From what I learnt in the past, formerly, the waiting time for documentation was 2 years until couples revolted and complained about why they will get married and get separated from their spouses for a whole 2 years, and thus they limited the waiting time to 6 months and after some years, it was reduced to 3 months. Does this rule not apply to the kingdom of Belgium being the EU HQ????

please I stand to be corrected if I'm making a blunder or untrue statements

I dont know about the 2 years in the past but on the goverment website it even says when you have a complete file it takes 15working days 😶, but i have seen on here with people with completed cases take like 5months etc , so i think they work in thier own timining  and this process will teach us to be patience  and hope for positive outcome
