Consulate Office Help

[Mackznie 23]

Hey guys! Quick question on the K1 page 8 section 2 number 62a&b consular processing information, my boyfriend has a UK passport, born in the UK but he has been living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for the last three years. He has a job, pays taxes, lives in a flat, has a BSN etc. Is this enough to get jurisdiction for The Hague processing center? Or is the safer to go to London? Anyone else have a similar experience?

 

Thanks!

Yes he can interview in Amsterdam (the Hague doesn't do interviews)

If he has legal residency in Amsterdam, or like a valid work visa there and it will remain valid, he can process through there, or go back through the UK, either way is fine.

Oh awesome thank you! Sorry I thought the Hague was where they do it, but good info to know!

So the issue is that his apartment he just pays his roommate, his roommate is the only one with the name on the lease and since the UK is still part of the EU he has the right to travel/work wherever, so I don't think his job is actually sponsoring him per se, but he does get bills sent to his apartment, holds a dutch bank account, has a BSN (like our SSN) and does have a job there (I'm sure his boss would do an affidavit if needed), but I'm not sure if that is enough to prove legal residency.
