Belgium Residence Card - B information

Hi,

I have applied my Residence card B a week back in Antwerp deurne commune. Someone know how much time it takes to get the approval response from commune? Anyone have any recent experience?How they notify me that it's approved?
Thanks.

For me it took 4 months or so to get a decision from the ministry.

Townhall will send you a postcard as soon as they receive the decision from the ministry.

Do you know the reason why it took 4 months? normally it takes 2-3 weeks time. Have you applied after your 5 yrs. was completed or before that? (just curious to understand the randomness in different cases)

I applied after 5 years was completed. DOnt know why it took so long. May be ministry was busy then.
