Well, all I know is that we weren't approved...yet. My fiancé lived a short time in Belgium but was unregistered so he didn't get a police report. It was something we were both in the air about, so it's not a shocker. Belgium has no record of him, but the consulate knew he was there so... He's got to order police records. They said nothing else was wrong and our file is still there.

Anyone know how long these things take after this??

once the embassy receives the police certificate it will probably be a matter of days before the visa is issued
