DNA test required

Adeyola

Hi,


does anyone have experience on how long it took to be contacted about the DNA test requested by the Belgium immigration for family reunion for minor children ?


since Feb. 6 that the immigration informed us that every other document was in order for the visa D approval except that it remains a DNA test (to authenticate the difference in birth certificates from the one we used in 2022) we have been waiting for the DNA unit to send us the details of procedure (account to make the DNA test payment, etc).


I am wondering how long we have to wait.


Thanks in advance
