Any Dutch/American Couples?? [Part II]

[Alex Prijn 29]

Am I reading correctly that I need a passport and an ID card as part of the civil documents I file with the DS-261 in The Netherlands?

The page that lists the documents required for the consular process, is listing both the passport and Identity card. So does it mean we need both to be able to apply for a VISA?

I remember them offering the option, either will work. Not sure if anything changed, it has been five years for me this year. I provided my passport information only.

I never submitted my ID.

Hi everyone!

 

I am Italian/American and my boyfriend is Dutch. We live together in Italy. 

 

I feel stuck because we don't know what to do. He visited Iraq in 2013 and because of that cannot visit the US without a visa... but the consulate(s) are not processing visitor visas and we don't know when they will start again. We want to visit the US together before finalizing our plan to move to the US, as our move depends entirely on whether or not he feels comfortable in NYC where I am from.

Unfortunately I think you are out of luck...the only remedy would be if he visited Iraq in official capacity as part of the Dutch Military or diplomatic corps.

Ik heb voor mijn VOG aanvraag vorig jaar deze brief meegenomen naar het stadsdeel kantoor (Den Haag). 
 

https://photos.state.gov/libraries/netherlands/19452/public/IVNIVVOGAPPSUPP.pdf

 

"Probleem" was dat de dame aan de balie dacht dat het hiermee niet kon, omdat het ondertekend moest zijn door de instantie. Na enig aanhouden van mijn kant (al werd ik er wel zenuwachtig van), ging ze het toch maar even navragen bij een collega/leidinggevende en kwam ze terug met het antwoord dat het blijkbaar tegenwoordig zo gaat..... Jaja.... Ik had via VJ en FB al het advies van deze brief gelezen, dus no way dat het een nieuwe procedure was. Anyway, eind goed, al goed - VOG 2-3 weken later met de post ontvangen. 

 

Heb deze vraag recentelijk weer in een van de FB groepen gelezen en iemand had een soortgelijke ervaring. Bij anderen gaat/ging het soepeler en kon het gewoon gelijk, maar dus een enkele keer dat een balie medewerker even tegenstribbelt, omdat ze denken dat het met deze brief niet kan.

 

@Hadassah123 Hi Hadassah123, It seems the PDF link you posted is broken already:  https://photos.state.gov/libraries/netherlands/19452/public/IVNIVVOGAPPSUPP.pdf, I also need it to appy for VOG, may I ask if you still have a copy of this PDF file, and could you please upload it to share or pm me @dittoit if so? I will appreciate very much!

You can get the letter off of the state.gov website. On the page with the Dutch civil document requirements, there is a letter under the police records tab. It says supporting letter for Dutch VOG.

The link on the page seems to be broken on my end. 

 

@dittoit searched in my files and can't find it, sorry!

Yes, the link is broken. But I already got it from other source anyway, thanks for your reply.

Had my interview today in Amsterdam and as expected the experience was very pleasant and not stressful at all. Everyone was very nice and I was out in no time.

 

I wrote a review of the experience: Netherlands US Consulate Reviews (visajourney.com)

Could you list the source? I also need the letter but the link is still broken on the original .gov website...

I was looking for it too and my fiancé found it using the web archive website. Hopefully it works for you too!

Thanks. In the end it actually worked out by simply taking a screenshot of the NVC webpage and sending that along with the VOG application form.

Hi, on the NVC webpage is says documents written in the language from the country from which you are applying do not need to be translated.

In your experience: does NVC accept documents that are only written in Dutch?
