Halo/Hello
I seek information specific to my personal status and am ever grateful to any/all whom may be able to direct me to the right sequence of 'steps' required to obtain my Permanent/Long Stay Visa to live in Belgium. The info I find thus far does does not 'fit' my situation.

Stats: US Citizen, Air Force Veteran - held Top Secret Security Clearance 1982-1986 ; Secret Clearance via employer 1987 - 1990.
Q: would I require a 3rd FBI investigation to obtain "Certificate of Good Conduct" (or is there a contact to apply for a transcript of previous investigations/clearance)? I have no police record, not so much as a traffic violation.

I am 'disabled' due to post chemotherapy affects. I receive US Social Security Insurance Benefits ; contributions from my first tax paying income at age 14/as of 1977. My work history was consistent from age 14 to age of disability 40/2003.
Q : Is the Social Security Income and work history record enough to prove I will not be a burden to society/have the ability to provide income for myself per exchange rate? Are there specific documents I must provide in addition to the US documents from Social Security?

As I will be enrolled in school as a student, nor will I seek employment at this stage in life, I am concerned how to qualify for my Visa.

My loved one is a Belgian, I am relocating to unit with him. Marriage is a consideration though at a future point in time.

Thank you again for any help provided on how to proceed

Start with the Expat guide to Brussels that offers information on visas, work, schooling and more.

You may also be interested in connecting with expats in the area through expat blogs in Belgium or expat network. You can even find American expats in Belgium.

Anyone have specific answers to these questions?
