Belgium Spousal Visa Processing Times

The processing time, from the day our law office files your I-130 Petition with the USCIS, to the day the CR1 or IR1 Visa is issued by the US Embassy in Brussels, Belgium is approximately:

5-8 Months

All Belgium Nationals residing in Belgium must have their Spousal Visa applications processed at the US Embassy located in Brussels, Belgium. The application can only be adjudicated after the approved I-130 Petition is forwarded to the post by the National Visa Center in the United States.

If you are a Belgium National residing in a country other than Belgium, you may be eligible to process your spousal visa application in that foreign country. Contact our law firm today to find out if you or your fiancee meet the eligibility requirements.
