Keep f card

Smlg

i have been in belgium since Sept 2019. I obtained student permit in April 2020 due to covid, and then obtained F card in June 23 due to legal cohabitation( Oct 22) we share adress since May 22.

Now my ex endend the relationship up and doesnt care about my future. He’s pushing me to leave the apartment, my name is on the lease, or he ens the legal cohabitation. Even if I leave he will end it anyway. I work and I have a Belgium diploma what should I do? I would like to keep F card so next year I can apply for citizenship..

Hi,


are you currently also working in Belgium?

if yes, why dont you apply for the work permit via your employer so that you can stay

@BMM996210


yes i have a job.

the Single permit could get reject because my employer do not pay me 50k gross x year. and if i change my status i will not be able to apply for Belgian citizenship..

Sorry you are in this situation. i was almost there. after a lot of legal advice of worse case scenarios the best you can do is come clean to the dvz. they can just do nothing and then you apply for your nationality. look up legal advice from agii - they got a helpline. they will speak english to you if needed

Because you already demonstrate a high level of integration they may not act on it. The law gives them the possibility to not take away your card. they have discretionary power in situations like yours.


they are overburden with dossiers. so the best thing to do is hope they dont anything after you submit a dossier proving that you are integrated with a cover letter. a lawyer experienced in  matters like this can best advise on your approach.


in the meantime do things that can help with the possible anxiety from this so you can live your best life in Belgium

@dambett

thank you for your answer :)

its the ”discretionary power” that scares me here.

I will wait till the moment my ex will interrupt the legal cohabitation and when it will happens i will take a lawyer. For now i buy myself the most time i can.
