Hello,

I am on a short stay visa in Belgium and my husband applied for 2 weeks tourist visa on 11th May, but consulate has forwarded his application to FPS home affairs immigration finally after a month almost on 9th June, They started working on his application and it is currently in En traitement status.

May I know how long is it gonna take to get this Accord??
Aneesh
3 weeks more or less for them to make a decision.
sakshiverma16
Thanks Aneesh but what if the journey end date  itself is over by then? Would they still go ahead and give?
AlexFromBelgium
Technically, if your visa C request has been send to immigration in Belgium, it means something is wrong.

Belgian embassy can't deny a visa, only immigration.
Belgian embassy can only grant a visa if everything is perfect or through the order of immigration in Belgium.


So it means that you've low chance that the visa will be granted. Not impossible, but unlikely.
And in case of deny, they're lazy enough to only deny the visa 2-3 months later...

In case the visa is granted, he'll be able to pick 2 weeks like requested up to 3 months later at the time of decision.

I am also from ghana west Africa I had an invitation to visit my cousin this July. Embassy of belgium in Abidjan sent me a message that my application has been sent to home affairs fps in Brussels for analysis and decision making. Could there be a problem with my application or they are going to do further checks on my cousin (sponsor)

@Imran547
yes it got approved just few days back only
AlexFromBelgium
Technically, if your visa application for a short stay is send to Belgium, it's because there's a problem and that the Belgian's embassy can't denied your visa, only immigration in Brussels can.

So it's up to the immigration to say yes or no.
If you've enough money / job / accommodation etc that proof you can pay for your stay and there's no doubt you'll go back in your country, then you'll get your visa :)

Hi Alex,
I am PhD student at UGent. I have submitted family re-unification visa for my wife on April 1, 2022 from Vietnam.
Because I firstly rent an apartment from University which is only available for 4 months so I have just rented and moved to new place. Should I do something for accommodation update to The Immigration office?
It has been 14 weeks but the status is still “in treatment” so is there anything I should do to speed up the procedure?
Hope to get your reply.
Thanks a lot.

Hello,

@AlexFromBelgium I would like to mention this response is incorrect and very disappointing! I read this comment and freaked out that my case is about to be denied since it’s sent to immigration office! Then I found a link somewhere that said if you are citizens of some countries (mostly Middle East and Asia) your application is sent directly to immigration office, which makes sense as I am from Iran!  I got my approval 10 days after the submission and I looked at some statistics and most appliants were approved (90%). So please don’t let this person’s comment stress you out! Your application going to immigration office doesn’t mean there is a problem, it means they need to look at it more carefully and if you haven’t done anything wrong you’ll get your approval soon! Good luck every one!

AlexFromBelgium

Hello,


sorry but no, there are no visa sanctions on Iran except for known "violent" people.


Confirmed on iran.diplomatie.belgium.be and https://www.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/bel … index.html

If your file is perfect, it doesn't go to the immigration in Brussels for short stay visa, only for long stay which is the normal process.




The approval rate of 90% is for MULTIPLE ENTRIES visa request, granted nearly only to people who have already received a schengen visa BEFORE.

The real stats are available here:

https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/polic … graph_1903


When you check the stats of 2021 from the embassy in Teheran, you'll read:

Total requests: 307

Total visa issued: 89 (including multiple entry visa)

Total multiple entry visa issued: 24


89 on 307 cases => 29% from Iran.




Anyway, again and again... if you've a good job and a salary that compete with EU minimum or a partner that can cover for you, you'll nearly ALWAYS have your visa C. That's a fact!

@AlexFromBelgium hi Alex, I have applied for belgium visa for business trip. They rejected my visa. They mentioned 2 reasons:   

1.  Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided

2.  There are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory of the member states before the expiry of the visa.

Again I have applied recently with additional documents like my marriage certificate and my daughter birth certificate,  in order to rectify the second refusal reason. Now again my visa application is on hold and it sent for

Belgian authority decision. I didn't know what I did wrong. If anyone can suggest me in this regard.

AlexFromBelgium

The thing is, as you've been denied last time, Belgian's embassy must send your application to Brussel's immigration for final decision.

So it's normal process.

Guest6986

@AlexFromBelgium thank you. But what is the probability now?. My company has again prepared all my documents and I have submitted that additional supporting documents for the previous refusal reason. Now all the documents were as per their requirement.

AlexFromBelgium

I don't know the quality of your documents.

If you've shown strong social & economic tie to your home country, state the reason of your business visa (invitation letter from the company), and shown booking in hotel of every day of your stay in Belgium, then everything should be fine :cool:

Guest6986

@AlexFromBelgium I have submitted my marriage certificate and my daughter birth certificate. I have given the declaration letter too that I will submit my passport for verification to embassy, once I reach India. And my invitation letter content for your reference.

We are inviting Mr. Mohammedismail Anvarali, for the technical training to implement the new project “online defect identification system” in the production process line. This will allow us to export more products to our Indian factory, so they can check at their end by using this system and they will distribute the goods throughout India. This will ultimately increase the belgium revenue. So, to implement this project in our Indian factory, he needs proper training in our Belgium concern from 8th January 2023 to 4th February 2023.

Guest6986

@AlexFromBelgium my visa has been granted. I have seen the status as akkoord today. Thanks for the suggestion.

@amirhanif007 hi did you receive an email saying your visa application is forwarded to FPS Interior?

Guest6986

Is there any rule that the visa should be granted/rejected x number of days before the travel date if visa is forwarded to Immigration office? Parents flight is in another 19 days and we are yet to receive a response.
