Thank you.

Time for the final update

Region Flanders

No reply mail date: 18 July

WP: 15 September

Annex 46: 14 October but only communicated by my employer on 17 October

i also have a list of all timelines posted on this forum, will be sharing it on the next post.

what i can see is that for the past month, the immigration office decision time has been improved. it only takes 30 days from the work permit to get the single permit.

Good luck everyone.

Annex 46:  did not get it they asked for additional document, an apostile to my criminal record. (14 october)

Who has similiar experience? I am really worried!

How long will it take them to respond me after sending the needed document?

Good luck everyone!

@faracha29 The criminal record needs to be with an apostille from the beginning of the process, your employer should have mention it.

Anyways I think it won't take time to process it again, but you need to legalize your CR in Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then in TLS contact (Apostille).

@Frahmouni To do it in TLS it will already take two weeks. right? the nearest appointement is in 22 of october.

The question is can I still use my old CR ? (issued in 6th of July)

And once I will send the document with legalisation how long would I wait for another? month?

Dear All,

Update on my timelines, Annex 46 received.

Good luck everyone!

I have a a question do you get your annex 49 in the day you register within you commune of residence or do you have to wait ?

Hello Tonton_med,

This question is a bit off topic here.

I invite you to start a new thread on the Belgium forum to ask your question.

You will have more chances to find answers.

Cheers,

Cheryl

@faracha29 Yes I Think it should be less than 6 months (as specified by my employer)

@faracha29 Once you submit the necessary documents, it shouldn't take a long time (probably around a week). But do submit the apostile of the criminal certificate ASAP.

@Kyaw_Swa Go to the local prefecture in France with documents showing that you have the work permit approved and request a 60 day extension.

Looking at the pattern, I think priority at immigration Department(final approval annex 46) is based on initial application date. On average seeing 90 days in total. Does anyone know?

@Asterix_007 yes, actually I think when the WP approval takes more than 4 weeks (8 weeks for many cases) they reduce the processing time of annex 46

@abdouhz94  Hello

What is the missing document please

@Nizar Turki b3 légalisé, I sent it without the apostille

@abdouhz94 hey

Désolé mais je suis dans la même situation

J'ai eu le permis de travail et j'attends le permis unique et j'ai pas légalisé le B3. Et quand j'ai reçu le permis de travail je me suis c'est ok. Donc il y a un risque ? Légalisé à l'ambassade ou juste ministère des affaires svp ? Et merci

@Nizar Turki I think it's a matter of luck... Many people get their "annexe 46" without sending a B3 "légalisé".
