Family reunification

found out through lawyer that file was closed by the Embassy.   immigration office was working on the file and didnt know.  Embassy refused to reopen file so application file could be finalized.   Have to reapply from start, monies spend on fees are not refunded, not given a reason as to why or a written letter from Embassy .  Lawyer said nothing we can do but reapply.    Paid the fees, travelled to embassy for biometrics , spouse lives on residence card already.   Was born in Belgium, receives pension from Belgium, entire family leaves in Belgium, married 42 years and medical, financially, non criminal eligible.  8 months we waited for the D-Visa to find this out.   This is mentally a nightmare - to be separated months on in.   Feeling defeated.

Thank you There were 4 days left until the 6 months and the approval came, but the children had missing documents. We submitted them yesterday to VFS Global (by hand delivery). I am waiting for the approval now, but the passport has not arrived yet.

Hello everyone, children's visas were approved today. 2 days after the missing documents were submitted, and passports will be hand-delivered from VFS Global on Monday. Good luck everyone.
