Hope you will receive news soon.

nareshmk

Yah, almost 3.5 months since WP approval.

we are expecting with in 1 week. otherwise need to wait upto 22nd june for 120 days completion period.

Onkaf

Why don't you call them and ask about the status?

JoyeeG

Hello people,

My hopeless timeline is as following:

13th march: application submitted
26th march: letter of admissibility
12th april: WP received

Waiting for RP and then VISA (I am an Indian passport holder, working in Madrid, so I guess my situation is worse and complex for the authorities to handle :/).

Regards,
Medha

nareshmk

No, Actually i dont have nay application/file reference number to ask.

Usually my employer (relocation agency) used to drop mail to immigration office for status.


So, I am waiting for their replies.

Hello,

Now the contribution fee to foreign office has been increased from 350 euro to 358 euro and for spouse from 200 to 204 euro.

So anyone has paid extra amount to foreign office? If yes then can you tell me what is the procedure?

Thanks,
Onkar

I'm a non-EU citizen residing inside EU and i wanna know if it is still necessary to apply for a Visa from the time that i have the second approval?


Hey, you have to ask your future City Hall in Belgium. They can assist if they accept you with current documents or Visa is needed.
