I've got email from the embassy that they forwarded my file to the belgian foreigners' office for examination and decision. This email was sent on october 5th.

I'm reading here from other people that they can check their file on the dofi website.

Unfortunately my file is still not online. How long I have to wait until my file is registered on the dofi website?

Thx
