Hello Everyone,
My situation is that i am a Filipina married with a Belgian military . we are together 10 years this month. Since my husband and I met he is working abroad as member of the Belgium military delegation in the EUROCOPRS in France , so technically i never lived in Belgium but was married there, have a resident type F+ card and we have 2 kids both Belgian citizens of course 😉 . I wanted to apply for the Belgian citizenship but the commune told me i was not qualified since i never worked in BE which is logic coz i never lived there although we visit offen and feels like home everytime , Unfortunately i was not able to follow the intégration course neither for God knows why they did not told us about it by then, so technically u can not do something u are not aware of... in August it will be 9 years since we got married and lived together. they said i have to wait 10 years before i can do it... BUT FOR A VERY PERSONAL REASON i would really love to do it before this year ends... so my question is that , DOES ANYONE KNOWS how can i compensate the integration course , Maybe there is anything else i can do like formations during weekends?? Regarding my integration in Belgium, Even if we lived in France i have a lot of activities related to Belgium, for example, I have met and talked to the king and Queen already(with pictures as proof) Every year since i arrived in France i was always invited in the Belgian consulate( it was still embassy when i arrived but turned to consulate years ago) for the gala dinner to celebrate king's day. I have a lot of contact still with my Belgian friends who moved back to Belgium.. i have also been a witness of the Wedding of our friend in Genk.
and so on.... And also i have B2 level of French language... So i was wondering, do u think with these examples they would consider it if i will apply???? thanks a lot for your response ...
