Visa application

Post new topic

Applied for family reunification visa and I'm from the philippines, my wife is a belgian citizen. We provided all the requirements needed. Is there a chance that my visa will be denied? If there is, what would be the possible reasons. Thanks! Good day.

Hello,

When a visa is refused, most of the time it is because the file was poorly prepared ...

Now with the administrative clutter with the Aliens Office (Office des étrangers), you have for a few weeks to several months of waiting before receiving an answer.

Exactly. No one can predict if your visa will be approved or rejected. The foreigners ministry checks the application and if all documentation is perfect, it gets approved, else, they sometimes ask for additional documentation or reject the application.

Keep your fingers crossed and wait to hear back on your file. :)
