Приезд по приглашению для получения ПМЖ (воссоединение семьи) - это легально ?

Ой, не надо, я в теме. Визу на воссоединение сама жду уже 6 недель. Мы с мужем граждане РФ, у него тоже ID на год. Официально ответ из МВД по срокам - ждать от 9 до 12 недель. Судя из историй на форумах, может быть больше, может быть меньше. Согласна только с тем, что чем лучше пакет документов, тем быстрее будет ответ. Но месяц - это оптимистично, г-н Администратор.

Согласна.... но мой муж - инженер в одной из крупнейших компаний Бельгии, и тем не менее ждем... Вот нашла инфу для автора на сайте www.diplomatie.be. Пишут, что все-таки можно подавать в Бельгии, но при условиях...:

Visa for family reunification to join a (grand)parent in Belgium

2. You are a foreign national and the descendant of a non-EU citizen or of the spouse or partner (within a `registered partnership') of a non-EU citizen

You are only entitled to family reunification if you are under 18 and unmarried.

If you are the child of a previous marriage or relationship, you must prove that you are dependent on the person with whom you wish to reside in Belgium. The parent in Belgium must also have custody of you. If custody is shared, the other parent must give permission for you to come and live in Belgium.

Grandchildren are not eligible for family reunification.

A. Applying for a family reunification visa abroad

Documents required:

1. A travel document (e.g. national passport) valid for at least 12 months, to which a visa can be affixed;

2. Two visa application forms duly completed, signed and accompanied by two recent passport photos bearing a true likeness to the applicant;

3. An official copy of your full birth certificate;

4. A copy of the residence or settlement permit for foreign nationals issued to your parent in Belgium;

5. Permission from the individual who has custody of you that you may leave the country to settle in Belgium;

6. An official copy of your parent's marriage certificate or `registered partnership' contract if you are applying for a visa as a descendant of their spouse or partner;

7. A medical certificate filled out by a doctor approved by the Belgian embassy or consulate and dated no more than six months prior to the date of application;

8. Proof of adequate accommodation: to be requested from the Belgian municipal authorities with which your parent is registered;

9. Proof that your parent in Belgium has a health insurance policy covering medical costs in Belgium for both of you;

Further information on proof of adequate accommodation, health insurance and medical certificates is available on the Immigration Service's website.

10. You may need to provide proof that you are dependent on the person with whom you wish to reside in Belgium;

11. You may need to prove that you are unmarried (if you have reached the minimum age for marriage set down in your national legislation).

Exception:

The age limit of 18 does not apply if you are the unmarried, disabled child of a foreign national or their spouse or partner who has been granted authorisation for permanent residence or settlement in Belgium.

In addition to the aforementioned documents, you must provide:

- a medical certificate filled out by a doctor approved by the Belgian consular or diplomatic representation stating that your disability prevents you from meeting your personal needs;

- proof that the person with whom you wish to reside in Belgium has stable, regular and sufficient means of subsistence for themselves and the members of their family;

- an extract from your judicial record dating from no more than six months prior to the date of application and covering the previous five years.

The documents listed above are merely the basic documents required in all cases. Additional documents may be requested by the embassy or consulate.

B. Applying for a family reunification visa in Belgium

If you already have a visa allowing you to stay in Belgium for a maximum of three months, you can submit your application for a family reunification visa to the municipal authorities in your place of residence, though you must submit all documents required for your application before the three-month period has elapsed. If you have been authorised to reside in Belgium for more than three months, you must submit all documents required for your application before your residence permit expires.

"Если все документы соберёте правильно, то с момента подачи досье до получения визы пройдёт один месяц

Сэм Лаури, вы говорите о подаче в России или в Бельгии ?

А это не суть важно. В первом случае консульство отсылает досье в Отдел по делам иностранцев, во втором — коммуна. Решение принимается в Отделе по делам иностранцев. Судя по дискуссиям у нас на форуме, дипломатическая почта менее надёжна чем обычная бельгийская, но тем не менее пересылка и там и сям должна занимать не более 2-х дней. За исключением случаев потери документов или превышения полномочий работниками на местах, основные задержки происхдят в Отделе по делам иностранцев. Несколько лет назад решения по визам на восоединение принимал всего лишь один человек. Не думаю, что с тех пор что-то изменилось.

must prove that you are dependent

Это само собой разумеется по факту несовершеннолетия. Совершеннолетним придётся доказывать.

If custody is shared, the other parent must give permission for you to come and live in Belgium.

Согласие надо официально оформить (нотариально заверить, апостилировать и перевести с заверением перевода).

Речь идёт о гражданах стран-членов ЕС и о гражданах стран, которым не нужна виза для пребывания в Бельгии на срок до 3 месяцев.

Ну и отлично, что все так разрешилось! Главное собрать доки теперь, апостили, переводы и всякую еще ерунду. Удачи!
