I received my single work permit renewal last week. In February my wife had applied for her residence card renewal (family reunification) on the commune website. After I received the Annex 46 we sent it to the commune and they included it in her application. Right now she has an Annex 15.


I have a few questions:

- The commune has not shared any receipt of the application, file tracking number, etc. Is that normal?

- For my single work permit renewal I was able to log into the ibz website and track my application. Is there something similar for family reunification visa renewal.

- Has anyone recently gone through this process? If yes, how long after your spouse received the Single work permit did you get it?

- When my single work permit application started processing I received a privacy notice. Will my wife receive something similar?


Timeline:

- Family reunification renewal application date: Feb 4

- Single work permit renewal: March 17

Hi,

As far as I know, it is not possible to track your family reunification extension application. It is commune sending the all documents to IBZ, when they hear from IBZ, they will let you know. it is normal that you have not had any receipt or track number. We did not also received anything at a time we applied for my wife.


The processing time mostly starts the day you receive your SP. In our case, it took around 2 months for her to receive her extension. However, that differs for everyone. you may expect it to be longer or shorter, but surely it will take time.


and no, your wife will not receive privacy notice. at least, we did not receive any.


Recently I got my unlimited single permit extension and the file has been added to my wife s family reunification extension application last week. I will let you know when we hear from commune.


Good luck
