Belgium Short stay student Visa sent to FPS

Codex Onionk

I have to go for student exchange program in Belgium and it begins on 17 September. I applied for a tourist visa (because I had very short time for getting my visa back and the time I needed the visa for was <90 days and I didn’t know that I’m such case short stay student visa is required). I had mentioned in my cover letter itself that the purpose was student exchange but only <90 days and hence didn’t require a type d student visa. A few days later embassy called me regd the same, and on realizing, I requested them to convert my visa to short term student visa, which they agreed to , and asked me for fee additional documents (NOC from current institute, financial documents (I had submitted student loan approval, they were not satisfied, so I liquidated some investments and sent bank statement)). I emailed those the very next day. Next working day I got an email saying my file had been forwarded to the FPS. When I called the embassy they said they got the documents and mentioned my category change request to visa officer but are not aware whether it’s been changed or not. This was 2 days ago. The tracking status shows “en traitementâ€

What are the chances I’ll get my visa in time? Or it’ll get approved at all, even by the end of the month.

@Codex Onionk I don't really knows why even short stay or visit visa should take times or send to FPS,

others country after 15 days or 1 months they will approve or denied but belgium you will wait sometimes after 3 months or more than that.

Be patient you will get your visa.

I'm in similar situation
