Immigration law - Family abroad
Those who have a relationship with a foreign partner or who have a minor (foster) child abroad have the wish to be united with this person in the Netherlands in the long term.
In order to achieve this, you will have to submit an application at the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND). Our office can advise, guide and assist you in this process and, if the application is rejected, litigate for you.
What should you be aware of?
The IND has a number of general and specific conditions. With regard to the general terms and conditions, you can think of a valid identity document. When it comes to specific conditions, you can think of the income requirement, the integration requirement or the requirement to prove the family law relationship. We will discuss with you the possibilities and possible problems to start the application as successfully as possible from there. We point out the applicable conditions and work with you to find out how you can meet the conditions in the shortest possible time.
Submitting the application is not free of charge. The IND charges costs for each application. These so-called fees differ per type of application and vary from EUR 30,00 to EUR 174,00.
The costs that we charge for guiding the application, checking all documents and (possibly) submitting the application, is the fixed amount of EUR 600,00 excluding VAT.
Application granted. What is de next step?
When the IND grants your application, you will receive a decision explaining the purpose of the residence. This can be for example “Stay as a family member with X”. The positive decision does not mean the end of the procedure. Your family member will have to collect a sticker from the Dutch representation in his or her country and travel to the Netherlands within a certain period. Certain conditions are also imposed at this stage. We will of course also check these conditions with you.

CAN WE ALWAYS HELP YOU?
Frequently asked questions: Immigration law
Every first conversation is always FREE and without obligation. We make an initial assessment and, if necessary, take over the administrative burden from you.
We mainly work on the basis of funded legal aid: if your income and assets are below a certain limit, the government pays a lot cases your lawyer fees. You only have to pay a small personal contribution, which depends on your income. If you have a benefit, you are almost always eligible for funded legal aid. More information and current income and wealth standards can be found at www.rvr.org .
Application phase A decision must be made within a 'reasonable period': in any case within eight weeks after the application, unless the period is suspended by the government because, for example, you still have to provide information. It may also be the case that specific deadlines apply to certain applications: applications to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (usually) have periods of 90 days and even six months.
Objection phase This applies within six weeks must be decided (in an advisory committee 12 weeks), which term can also be extended by another six weeks. Again, different times may apply on a case-by-case basis. For example, the Immigration and Naturalization Service sometimes uses different terms, such as 19 weeks for objections to regular applications.
Appeals and Appeals Phase During these phases, the duration can increase enormously, depending on when there is an opportunity to schedule a hearing. If it concerns a large criminal case, the duration can amount to a year or even two. If it concerns a case on appeal against a benefit, this can also amount to more than a year's waiting period.
