Visa File Status Update

Post new topic

redazx

Hi, yesterday I checked ibz website, and my file got registered. I submitted my visa on 24th July.


Now it shows the status, "In behandeling". I want to ask how much time they'll take for the final decision? Any estimates?


My visa type is Family Reunification (40ter).


Any relevant experience and knowledge is appreciated.


Thank you!

They already took 1.5 months to register the file. Now 3-4 more months, that's sad.

I'm not sure about that though. Can you please tell me how long did it take for your visa to be accepted after it was registered on the website?

What do you mean by, "processed"?

Can you please send the picture here, please.

@redazx

She means her file is  "in behandeling"

Processed means "in behandeling" in dutch.

You have to refer to the website of Belgium Embassy in the country you are applying from. You'll find list of all the documents that are required for the visa process.

dalvirsandy123

@Hunny Bini

Non still waiting . I will complited 8 months in next two days ..

Hunny Bini

@dalvirsandy123 i think your sponsor should contact with some lawyer in belgium to push ur case ..

Nayan Lama

Applied on May and still waiting 😓😓

dalvirsandy123

@Hunny Bini


But its clearly mentioned on ibz site that for non eu persons  the decision will be taken in 9 to 15 months.



So its not right time to talk with lawyers. That what i think .


In the end , Always hope to hear soon .

@dalvirsandy123

You're right my friend applied on January and she got visa for her husband on August. She is non eu. So i think it's to early for to take any actions. Even though you take once the visa is registered there is nothing you can do besides waiting. They do there job in there on way. I am also non eu so i am also waiting.
