Hi everyone,

I’m a non-EU student from DR Congo, and I applied to ULiège on March 30th.

I was also wondering how long it usually takes to receive an admission decision for non-EU applicants. I know the official processing period can vary depending on the faculty and the volume of applications, but I’m trying to understand real experiences.

For those who applied to ULiège or other Belgian universities, how many weeks did it take you to get a response? Did you first receive an acknowledgment email, or just the final decision?

In my case, I’m still waiting for my admission, and I have my consulate appointment scheduled for June 4th, which makes the timing quite stressful since I do not yet have my admission decision.

Any feedback or timelines from your experience would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for some advice regarding the acceptability of an academic document for a future student visa application to Belgium.

I have my original transcript issued by Université Nouveaux Horizons (UNH) in Lubumbashi for the 2023–2024 academic year.

However, I noticed that the embossed/wet stamp placed over the passport photo is partially faded.

That said: The main official stamp at the bottom of the document is clear and fully visible.

The original signatures of the Dean and the Academic Secretary are intact.

All my grades, identification details (name, student ID), and the jury’s decision are clearly readable.

I’ve also attached a scanned copy of the document.

My question is: could the partially faded stamp on the photo cause issues during legalization or visa submission, or is the clearly visible official stamp at the bottom sufficient ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
