4 months after citizenship application
Hi all,
I was at the commune today, 4 months after I applied for the Belgian citizenship. Back then, they told me if you don't receive a reaction, you can come back for the ID card.
Today, I went, 4 months later, and she told me, come back 2 weeks later (mid October).
I fail to understand why, and it's standard procedure to postpone a decision like that?
Thx for the help.
On what grounds did you apply (I am asking because I do not know if the length is the same for all cases)? If it is based on 7 years of residence, then the procureur has 4 months to react negatively. Your commune b/s's you. If there is no negative within 4 months, they should/must arrange for you to receive the ID and passport (just bring 3 photos and pay and wait 2 weeks). Call them again or wait two weeks, unless it is very urgent, but do not let them off the hook next time.
