How is it going with visa d in your case ? Have you received file number and able to see the status in dofi web site ?

aneesh

Normally kid's visa is approved without much hassle.

Are you sure consulate sent the application to Belgium for a decision ? If yes, you can contact dofi (ministry) (either directly or via an attorney) to explain them the situation and request to speed up the process.

Yes, today I received the acknowledgement from consulate that they sent the file to Belgium. Difficult to find out good attorney in Brussels who can explain the situation and convince authorities..
