Hi Felipe Guerrero,

I agree with likeaen, you are very lucky your registration is made in 12 days. My wife applied 06/12/2021 to obtain visa D in the frame of family reunion as well. The demand has not been registered on IBZ. You don't have to be too worried.

What you would like to learn? It can change according to the cases.

But if non eu applies to join a non eu, it鈥檚 6 months and if required additional 3 months = max 9 months

If non eu applies to join an eu, it is max 6 months

My spouse has applied visa in home country on 07.12.2021 and it got registered on 10.01.2022.

We both are non EU ..it means 6 months from the date of registration or it can be done before also. Because one of my colleque who is also with same non.eu status had his spouse with done in 3 months. My case is spouse along with kids.

It is six months from the first day you applied. Each case is different and process can be shorten or long. But as I see and read from past replies. It is around 4months. You can hope your family will arrive in may but something can happen and it can be longer.

We applied in August and they asked for extra documents and we have trouble now and we still didn鈥檛 get visa.

So you should be patient and wait. Hope for best..

I have a 5-digit reference. I have tried with all the references I have.
I followed the instructions on how to track one's application.

How to track your application :

All files once received at the Embassy are given a unique file number. This number will be visible on your online Visa-On-Web form as soon as the application is received at the Consulate (i.e the working day after the submission to the service provider).

You will find this unique number at the very top of the form, under the heading "Basic information" in the field "Visa application number". It is composed as follows: BELXXXX (= code of the post) + 0 ... 0 (fill zeros) + 5 or 6 numbers constituting the official visa application number.

For example, for the number "BEL009700000000000000000000080927", the file number is "80927".

Dear all,
The Visa D of my wife was approved yesterday!

So our timeline was.
Date de la demande de visa: 14.12.2021
Date de l'enregistrement de la demande de visa par l'Office des 茅trangers: 24.12.2021
顿茅肠颈蝉颈辞苍: ACCORD
Date de la d茅cision: 11.02.2022.

I see our process was fast. During that time, I signed a contract on 24.12.2021 to work for a new company (to start by 01.04.2022), my new work-residence permit was approved on 18.01.2022 and my A card validity was extended from 2023 to 2025. I am not sure if this affected my wife's visa D application.

Wish you all the best! If I can help on somethig, please drop a DM.

Hi asifawar5563
My wife and I are non-EU citizens. I have been living in Belgium since 2018: as student in 2018-2020 and as employee in 2020-present.

Me and my wife got married in our home country on 10.12.2021 and she applied for the visa D at the Belgian embassy on 14.12.2021.

Dear Felipe,

Lovely to hear that and many Congratulations.

I have聽 a small question. Did you need to submit your new residence permit again to the Embassy or did they verify your partner's application based on the old one only?

Hi RAJA91

Once I got my new single permit (as Annex 46), I sent this annex + my new contract to the embassy and to the family reunification deparment (gh.visa@ibz.fgov.be). This happened on 19.01.2022.

After a few days, I called the embassy and they said they emailed such documents to the Immigration Office here in Brussels in order to update my wife's dossier (dossier given on 14.12.2022).

But to the honest I am not sure is these new documents influenced my wife's visa D approval.

My husband submitted the application on Nov. 29, 2021.
It registered on ibz on Jan.05, 2022.
Now its status is in process/En traitement

I sent ibz an email and they replied: "We have received the visa application and it is currently being treated. Normally the treatment period is 9 months (maximum 15 months) from the date stated on the proof of submission. As soon as a decision is taken it will be communicated by the diplomatic post which will invite the visa applicant and give the decision."

Is this the normal treatment time? 15 months is too long

@Felipe Guerrero15
Just a quick question. Do they ask you if you are staying in a flat or not?. Your accommodation status. I have been living in a flat and paying a lot of money just for the visa.

When does the official processing times actually start being calculated from especially if submission was at TLS and if there was a missing document and the embassy submitted 3 months later to Brussels? Do they calculate from the TLS submission date or from when it arrived in Brussels?

I am a PhD student in Belgium and I applied for a family reunion visa D for my baby (my wife applied for a study visa the same date and got it already). I am still waiting for the visa but will share my timeline here and hope to see info from those who applied in the same period.

Date de la demande de visa: June 13 2022

Date de l'enregistrement de la demande de visa par l'Office des 茅trangers: June 28 2022

顿茅肠颈蝉颈辞苍: En traitement

I will update when my baby get the visa, finger crossed.
