Hello, I came in BE in 2015 as Non-EU student. I was issued and 1 year A card. I renewed the card twice in 2016 and 2017. In 2017 I applied to changed the status to F card (Belgian spouse). Status F(family member ob Belgian was approved after 6 month in end of 2017. My student residence would end in 31 Oct 2017. In between there is a gap of 50 days which it was covered with an orange card (FR: Attestation d'immatriculation, NL: Attest van immatriculatie). I was holder of Orange card for 50 days only then my F card was issued. Right now I have: 1. Master Degree from BE in English.(This will not be considered as English is not official in language in BE) 2. Social integration/orientation completed. Dutch and French language completed( Enough for Nationality) 3. I have already worked full time in Belgium 2 years and half (more than 700 days) 4. I have more than 3 years marred and living with my Belgian partner in BE. 5. I have 5 year residence in Belgium. I am trying to apply for Nationally but my commune is turning me away due to they consider the orange card not a residence permit. So only for 50 days I need to restart the counter in the day I obtained my F card. I can easily prove that during this period of 50 days I was in Belgium working and paying Belgian taxes. Is there anyone with similar experience? What would be legal ways to surpass this gap of 50 days? Any good lawyer which has experience/expertise on this to suggest? Thanks in Advance
