I am an Indian living with my spouse in Belgium. My work permit B expired last month and now my employer wants me to return to India. As my husband is also working in Belgium, I do not want to go back to India. So, only feasible solution for me is to convert my status to his dependent. I am also trying to find a new job in parallel. Regarding this, I have two questions:
1. If I start the process to get my status converted to dependent and meanwhile I manage to get a new job before the expiry of my Residence Permit, will I be able to get work permit B given the circumstance that the dependent conversion process is already in progress and is not yet complete?
2. If I get a job before starting the process to convert my status to dependent, will my new employer be able to process a new work permit B for me?
