You have received a negative decision from the IND. This means that your partner will not obtain a residence permit.
Do you disagree with the decision? You can apply for review.
You can apply for review by sending an application for review to the IND. An application for review is a letter in which you explain why you do not agree with the decision. Apply for review within 4 weeks after the date of the decision. The postal address of the IND is stated on the letter containing the decision.
The application for review must contain the following information:
Submitting an application for review is free of charge.
Once the IND has received your application for review, you will receive an acknowledgment of receipt. This letter states how long the IND has to process your application for review. This is called the decision period. According to the law, the decision period for applying for review is 19 weeks.
With the rejection of the application for a residence permit, your partner will receive a return decision. The return decision states by when your partner must leave the Netherlands. They will often receive an entry ban as well. The letter with the decision also states whether your partner may stay in the Netherlands during the application for review. In that case the return decision is postponed.
Is your partner in the Netherlands? And allowed to stay in the Netherlands during the review, then your partner can request a sticker for their passport at the IND desk. With this sticker your partner can demonstrate that they may stay in the Netherlands during the application for review.
Is your partner in the Netherlands? But not allowed to stay in the Netherlands? Then your partner can apply to the court for a provisional ruling. The judge will decide whether or not your partner may stay in the Netherlands during the application for review.
Is your partner in the Netherlands? And you have not applied for review of the negative decision? Or your partner is not allowed to stay in the Netherlands during the application for review? Then your partner must leave the Netherlands. If your partner does not leave the Netherlands on their own, they will be removed from the Netherlands.
