Hallo,
Ik heb een mail gestuurd naar '
ConsularAmster@state.gov',gekregen via facebookpagina van het consulaat.
Hun advies was om de mail te sturen, ben benieuwd.
Dear sir/madame,
Me and my girlfriend, booked a vacation to New York .
I am Dutch and my girlfriend is Polish, so she needs a visa.
We went to the consulate on the 18th of April in Amsterdam where she had an appointment.
She brought some papers with her to show that she works and lives here.
After an interview that lasted 2 minutes, they told her that she did not have enough documents with her to show that she will come back to here.
No problem and on the same day we made another appointment.
The interview was on the 24th of April.
Our documents we brought along were; Joint account
Passport
Extract from the register of population
Employment contract and statement
Training and employment contract
Study agreement to 2013
Diploma state exam Dutch language from 27th of March
Notary house purchase
Income tax
And the women who takes the interview did not look at the papers at all and in about two minutes the interview was over.
My girlfriend said, you didn’t looked at the papers, the women said; not necessary, I know enough.
The reason that my girlfriend did not get the visa is;
4 years ago you came to Holland to get a better life and find some luck, we think that you try to find it now in the United States.
How can the women judge about someone like that?
It is disgraceful to think and talk about someone who showed you every piece of evidence you asked the last time.
Is a mortgage, work, school and the rest of the papers not enough to proof that she will come back?
We are a descent couple, living together for two years with 2 kids and our own house.
We driven two times from Eindhoven to Amsterdam, paid two times 15 dollar for an appointment.
And two times € 128,00.
It is not about the money, but why are you saying that we have to bring more evidence with us, if it is for nothing.
We are very disappointed to be treated like this, we only wanted to go on holiday from our money where we worked hard for.
And then be treated like this!!!
We are very disappointed and we hope that you treat people in the future with more respect.
Yours sincerely;
