Hey i am from india and my fiance is dutch .
Currently i am in nederland learning and practising dutch.
For my mvv we got in touch with a law firm to make the procedure smooth and not confusing
They told me that i only need to be in india at the time of submitting documents for mvv and once i submit i can come back to nederland on the current visa which i hold thats like a 2 year tourist visa .
I really dont think i can stay in nederland with my fiance till i get mvv. Can i ?
Also i wanted to know what kind of documents do i need for mvv as on website when you try to check the error comes.
Help please 😕

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

The IND website is currently down because of some upgrading work they are doing; it will be back up again later. However, they do have a Twitter feed where you can ask specific questions; this link will take you there.

Hope this helps.

You must stay out of NL while your application is still in process. You must wait for the decision till you can go back to NL

Hi everybody,

My name is Erika and I am Colombian. I am also waiting for the MVV answer and I must say that I am a bit anxious due to the legal time it can take up to (90 days), for an answer to receive. But, I am also hopeful that my process is one of those in which the answer is given in less than a month or 6 weeks for stating a random period.
In my case, Application Form was received in Ter Apel on June 8th, and on June 20th my partner got the letter with payment details. On June 25th payment was made and one day later, confirmation letter of payment was in the mailbox.
I do not know from that moment how long will it take but I'll feed this participation once I get the decision.

Hope soon!!!

till then! have a nice day

The only significant difference I can think of is that you can only apply for MVV from outside Holland; some of the documentation that you need to fill in is available online from the IND website.

I dont really know whats the difference, but I think its the same in waiting time, as it has a legal time specified for all processes.

You still need MVV; it's part of the integration process of coming to live in Holland; basically that you can speak a bit of Dutch and are aware of Dutch customs.

Hallo, alles goed?

My last post was on July 2nd. And today I finally received my positive advice!
After 1 month & 3 weeks waiting for it - I got confirmation letter of payment on June 27th-.
My process at the end was a long one but today all anxiety and stress is gone

Must say also that we were (my partner and me) requested to send an extra document and they gave us two weeks to send it. That delayed process too.
So, I think that in case it wouldn't have been requested I would have gotten the answer in 5 weeks.

Good luck with everything!

Hi All
Am Kenyan and we started the process on 22 July 2018 and after a week they asked for payment, which we did and they sent acknowledgement of receipt of payment the next day.

My partner and I were requested to send an extra document on 7th September and they gave us two weeks to send it.

It's been 10 weeks and we are still waiting

Hope to receive the reply soonest

Hello,
I applied for the Spouse visa (MVV) through NYC Dutch Embassy on 29th August and did the application payment on 3rd of September . Since there was a problem with my payment (bank's fault) the payment was sorted and accepted on 24th of September. I am still waiting on my visa and my husband called IND and they told us we still have time till 27th of November which is the end of 90 days period. I'm really stressed since it is taking this long. Any advice ?

If IND knows you are in Netherlands can that lead rejecting your application?

Hi everyone! I'm from Argentina, and with my partner we're gonna apply in June or close. We gonna make the online application, did anyone here have done it online or only by letter? I've heard that it takes longer by letter. But another question I have is, in the appendix of "Questionaire for residence with partner" how do we send all the photos and plane tickets? Can be sent through the same application online or it has to be sent by mail? Thank you!

Hello there,
I am so happy for you.

My partner submitted all the paper work and we got a confirmation of payment on September 4th. No positive feedback yet from the IND. Luck might be on my side this week, fingers crossed.

However, I can't stress enough how helpful this page has been. Reading everyone's experience gives an assurance that however long the wait, the good news will still come, and to that I say thank you.

Well, good luck to all in the waiting, and congrats to all you guys that have succeeded.

The entire IND procedure can take up to 6 months or longer. They claim however 90 days which is not true.
we are in this process for the last 7 months maybe because of covid but still if you submit all the required documents it will take longer because of this pandemic keep this in mind.
Be aware the you have to pass the basic exam first before you can even start this procedure.
I do wish you have a feedback from them this week and you can finally take the next step good luck and God bless
