Hi guys,

my company applied for a work permit for me and confirmed that the paper got to the administration on the 21st of december 2018 and that it will normally take 4 to 6 weeks. But till now, nothing !!

I should start working february 25th. And there's still the visa procedure to go through.

Is there a possibility of rejection ! My work permit is for an internship in Software Engineering.

It took 8 weeks for someone who applied by November end. You can always check with the office in Leuven over a phone call - link below. They will tell you the dates for which they are currently processing.
