Hey everyone, I emailed the IBZ and this is their response:


Dear Sir, Madam,



We have received your query regarding the status of an application for family reunification, in good order.


We have received the application and it is being processed.


The applicant will receive a certificate of submission upon submission of a complete file at the diplomatic or consular post. The processing period is 9 months (extendable twice by three months, so a maximum of 15 months) from the date indicated on the proof of submission.
