Hi all,

I applied for a family reunification visa. A month ago immigration made a decision to request additional documentation via consular post, which i sent through. Today i have received further decision but i am unsure if this is a positive indication or not?

Can somebody please help me by telling me what this may mean?

Décision: Octroi du visa sur production de pièces complémentaires.
Date de la décision: Jun 18 2015
extra info1: Le poste diplomatique/consulaire compétent communiquera quelles pièces doivent être produites.
extra info2: La décision est en principe envoyée le jour où elle est prise. Un délai de quelques jours peut cependant s'écouler avant sa réception effective par le poste diplomatique ou consulaire.

Hello,

This will mean in reality that the consulate will send you a letter telling you that they are lacking one or the other paper. And they will take a decision when the file is complete ...

Hello, when did this status start to appear in DOFI website when you search for your application ?

The process is DOFI will send the decision to consulate. Consulate will communicate the decision officially (this is normally by electronic means)

The consulate where you lodged your application, will contact you via VFS with this information and demand for extra documentation as per feedback from DOFI.

HOpe this helps

Since we also have the same status, we called DOFI and they didnt mentiona botu any missing documents. What do you think this can mean? The only thing I can think of is the passport of my husband since he withdrew it.

Indeed. DOFI does not communicate with the applicant directly. DOFI communicates to the consular post from where the application was forwarded to them. consulate (via VFS (or the office where he made the application)) will be relaying this communication to the applicant (him). He can follow their instructions (basically must physically go there with the original passport and documents if any additional is asked by VFS).

They will ask you via the consulate additional documents and most of the time, the decision is yes. DOFI tells consulate something like this -> From our side, it is clear. You can grant the visa if this person submits these additional documents.

They asked additional documents 2 times and we sent documents which they asked, but still the state is the same as awaiting receipt of Documents supporting...

But today I asked from infodesk and they said we received the documents and we added them to your file. And your request is in treatment and the status won't change until we make a decision.

What about you?

Should you have any other questions regarding the process of your application, you can contact the Immigration Office by email (infodesk@ibz.fgov.be) or by telephone (+ 32 2 488 80 00).

This is immigration contact you should call not vfs. Vfs are just consulate not immigration office

@Ade mary I received a letter today stated
I take pleasure in informing you that our Ministry in Belgium has authorized the
issue of your ‘D’ visa on condition that you produce the below mentioned
documents. You are requested to submit them at the Belgian VFS Application Centre
(Helpline No.: 022 6786 6036 Website: [link under review])
within 3 months from the date of application, after which your application will be
cancelled.
“Ministry of Interior in Belgium has decided the visa may be issued after reception of
following additional documents:
- Compliant health insurance certificate from medical aid in Belgium or compliant
private health insurance that covers at least 30,000 euros and is valid for 90 days
after arrival in Belgium (for Ms. Khurshid & child)
-We also remind you that the marriage MUST be concluded AND the request for

-@khushilaskar989

You are to submit health insurance certificate for yourself and your baby. This can be obtained by your spouse in Belgium. Tell him to call his healthcare insurance and ask for dependent health insurance for you which will include your name and your baby’s name

secondly you need to register your marriage once you get to Belgium. Send them the requested documents and your visa will be approved.. congratulations
