What are your MVV experiences?
Was an Au pair for a year in the Netherlands . May 20th my Dutch BF聽 sent all the required documents for the change of Visa into Partnership. On 4th of June , the day before my Au Pair visa expired got a visa sticker for 3 months from the IND. 2 weeks after sending the Application via post my BF received a notification of application and the following few days got a letter on how to pay. Last Friday , 5th of July got our approval letter and asking me to make an appointment to IND for the I.D . It took 45days for the entire processing.
Cheers,

I just got my approval today !! It took 7 weeks

I am so happy and good luck for everyone is still waiting.
Cheers
Quick question, how does the approval from IND looks like. Is it via physical mail in your post address (or your partner's in Holland) or just simply via email to both.
Will both partner and yourself be notified for the approval or just yourself?
Thanks!
The IND will send a notification regarding your application to your partner聽 via post and digitally by his Mijnoverheid.
So yes, all documents needs to be authenticated and legalized.
I am more asking about the approval part, is it by post to both of us or only one person?
A letter by post to your partner and also to his mijnoverheid.
I counted, so today is sort of like the day 7 (working days) since the submission, is it normal that we didn't receive anything yet? can anyone share their experience on this?
Now, I鈥檓 just waiting the decision (till 12 oct) patiently with my finger crossed. And hope that everything is gonna be fine.
Is there any member here did the online application too?

Different application for different case. Some quick some slow.聽

Thank you聽 聽

I wish you all goodluck with mvv visa.
I have few questions...
Iam from turkey and iam married with a ducth lady and she have everything what they need for mvv and she applied 14 days ago and they send us a post that our application has received but deadline is 22 october wich is 90days is there anyone get soon results or still waiting for long time?
We have applied from rotterdam team.
Is there anyone who get rejected and why ?
After application approved what i have to do can anyone just share how it was .
Thanks good luck.
May i know, which form did they ask you to submit on march 12?
Thanks
,we applied for mvv on 15 of july, it is almost 7 weeks uptil now and we did not hear anything from the IND yet.
I know the deicision can take up to 90 days, but I noticed from the previous comments that decision usually comes within 5-7 weeks like as average.
Does any oone have similar experince ! or went through these moments before ! really waiting is really hard

Don't worry I am in the same boat, I applied for MVV on 25th June at the Embassy in New Delhi, India. I received the document and payment confirmation from the IND on 16th July, No replies after that, I will have to wait for another 3 remaining weeks.
Happy waiting

and also another question please, do u think calling them would help ?
thanks

Don't think calling would help, since they mentioned on the site calling won't help as they don't give any details about status od the application.
I know its such a pain already been 2 months of waiting!
)
GoodLuckOn 22 aug, IND said they need some additional document, i sent it immediately and finally got positive answer the day after that 馃
Then, i booked appointment, dropped my passport and took fingerprint scan on 24 aug in the embassy.
Though it said i have to wait more or less 2 weeks, i got my passport back on 28 aug with sticker (of course) 馃槅
Note: Everyone could get different result, it depends on the situation. I share my experience because i know waiting is hard especially 'waiting in the cloud' for 90 days. I just wish everyone could get the answer soon and keep on the positive thoughts馃槆馃槆
did u receive any response from IND ?He received a letter with the confirmation on 1st August. And the deadline to the answer is 17 October.
After this he received an e-mail asking for more document (only my antecedentenverklarig) and he sent in the same day. Den Haag team 4!
But until now we have no answer about the application. Today we are waiting for long 64 days.
This is the worse part of this.
Hope the letter arrive soon.
My partner sent the application by post on 11/08.
The confirmation from IND arrived on 24/08 with the fees to be paid. My partner paid it on the same day.
On 29/08 we received a confirmation of the payment.
From reading other people cases, I expected that the letter would show the limit date that IND would provide an answer. As advised on the FAQ of the website, we waited 10 days to give them a call.
On 10/09 my partner called the IND and the lady informed him that the deadline was November 14th, and if there would be any issue, he would be contacted by the IND.
A couple more weeks of waiting and today (22/09) we received the positive letter.聽

Can you tell us what the information they asked to you?
Thanks.
Sosukhe wrote:Yes, they asked for payslipsfor the past three months and intentieverklarig from the employer. thats was all good.
Ok! Thanks for your answer!
I hope the letters arrive soon.
I have few questions about the mvv.
We聽 havent applied for it yet.聽 We just want to get all the info we can before we apply.
1) Do you have to show 3 months pay slips with 1 year contract. or 1 year contract is enough ?聽 Because for the last two years my dutch partner is here with me in Australia. So i dont think he will be able to show 3 months pay slips of working in the Netherlands.
2) We are in registered partnership, do we have to show any other proof, like how we met, pictures etc? Or just the certificate is enough ?
Cheers

Got my positive response today Finally!!
Thanks everyone for your support.
Netherlands here I come!
