The process

It wasn't easy to get here in Holland a lot of paper works to do passport, legalisation, Id's, etc and fall into line with so many people waiting. After I completed the papers, I went to the Netherlands embassy to apply for a tourist visa, but unfortunately it was denied. They said it was uncertain for me to go back to the Philippines. Bert was not happy, but he was so calm and giving me a lot of hope he knew also that it's not as quick as that because a lot of  foreigners came here and live by the government. Bert filed  re- appeal to IND we sent the business permits, bank account, mobile statement, pics of the wedding and we answered all they want to know,  but still the process was killing me. We want to be together, but it's just because of the country. We thought that if they will deny me again we will go for MVV I will do the dutch exam that's the last option we can get. I learn dutch every day Bert help me through internet while chatting. I was denied October 8,2008 and after three months of waiting, the IND replied!  They don't have objection anymore and I can come to  Netherlands. I was extremely so happy!  And Bert too finally we will be together. I came here as a tourist for three  months Bert don't want me to go back anymore. We went to Germany tried to buy a Farm and live there, but the farm was not in good condition we never bought it. We applied for my residence permit and before my tourist visa expiration,  I got the green card from Germany until 2013.
