Hey folks

Any update on the permit this week?

My timelines are as folllows

No reply : 30/11/2023

Work Permit: 18/01/2024

Residence permit: still waiting

Any here who received confirmation around these timelines? Thanks

@hegdevinay96 Hey, I received my WP on 22/01/2024 and according to this thread, there is a gap between Jan 5th and Jan 18th, where we have no cases to compare to.

However, I'm optimistic about starting to see some action for us in the next 10 days let's say.

Fingers crossed and best of luck!

@xyziedm4

What does it means there is a gap between the dates?

I just mean that we don't have any active members with WP between Jan 5th and 18th so we can't know what's happening in the background at the immigration office when they are processing dates in that interval. We can only wait and see

@xyziedm4 yes got it. I'm also waiting my still no update:(

Finally got the annex 46.

First time application - Flanders

I had asked the HR to enquire at the immigration department this week. That might have expedited my application a bit.

Good luck to everyone who are waiting for theirs!
