Good video IND(has provided a lot of insight), but please i have 3 questions(i'm sure it will help others): 1. if i applied for multiple dependents(which all are my children)will it take the IND 90 days to decide on each single dependent application


2. If i contact the IND via their number i don't get them(i only hear automated voices)...why pls

3. will u write the basic integration exams after the ind has given u a decision or u must include it in your family reunification application for dependent

[Possibilities]

thanks IND for replying @himselfthis question(i wanted to ask question 1)

Please i have not heard from you after the 90 days. I checked on your website for any information about why an application for dependents might delay and please i saw a max of 6 months. I want to ask if it can be more than the 6 months

Pls IND....can i hope that i will get a decision after 180 days(6 months)....i want to see my family😔

Hello IND, thanks for the information in the video. Please I have a questions.
1. Do you access regular family reunification different from asylum family reunification. In particular, do the decision period for asylum family reunification different from a regular family reunification(non-asylum but from a resident permit holder). Is the approach to accessing asylum family reunification application-different in terms of waiting period for decision-different from normal regular family reunification(from a sponsor who has a resident permit in the Netherlands)

Hi appreciate the information in video,
Just a question on how long does IND take to send you payment information via mail ?

The video is very informative! I have a question regarding my case as an American interested in applying for the DAFT visa, and would like to bring my wife with me to the Netherlands (she's Vietnamese). Can I include her in my DAFT application so we can move together, or I need to get my residence permit first and then sponsor her later? TIA.

Hi! Thank you for such an informative video! I would like to ask about the document for becoming a sponsor. My husband works in the Netherlands (Turkish citizenship) as a highly skilled migrant with a permanent contract. I am(Turkish citizenship) currently living in Turkey and we are going to apply for MVV for me. We are not sure whether proof of income(for sponsor) and the marriage certificate are enough. Should we fill the appendix that are about medical conditions and Questionnaire for residence with partner? Where we can get the exact document list?

hi! thank you for the nice video :) i would like to ask about the income requirement for becoming a sponsor. My boyfriend is a German national and he is currently studying in the Netherlands and also working. On your website I saw that students can show their income through their funds in their bank account and also through financing by another person. I was wondering how much funds is there supposed to be in his bank account for the application to be accepted?
