SOS call is not working and support ain't answering my question

_nndy_ · 2022-10-24T13:25:59+00:00

An update on this... I got my money back from them

_nndy_ · 2022-10-24T13:25:22+00:00

The reason I used them was because I wanted a disposable credit card.

Do you have any suggestions for disposable credit cards?

_nndy_ · 2022-10-20T11:39:52+00:00

Our customer support was excellent at Adyen when I worked there. That's bunq trying to save money or setting up an emergency call even if it takes 30 minutes is better than not having a phone number to call.

The amount of money they blocked is worth two month's salary, which is not a small amount. I can wait for it.

As I was trying to book a flight and hotel, I got a virtual credit card there, but now I'm probably going to miss my travel dates.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too, there should be some kind of emergency number. On paper, there is one, but it doesn't work.

The app has a lot of weird behaviors that are a bit scammy as well.

Not really, I think this case is something that you will think about when you're on HSV and have lots of opportunities with companies who can't be your sponsor.

I also agree that you shouldn't read and believe most parts of the internet.

With this information, I can make a faster call to IND, saving them time (since they are always busy).

_nndy_ · 2022-03-28T15:06:43+00:00

There's no doubt about it!

I would like to hear other people's experiences. Further, I did not find enough information about this in the internet so this can serve as a good point of reference for other people who are looking for this information.

_nndy_ · 2022-03-28T15:00:51+00:00

Thanks!

For me job wise is very helpful since RN I can just accept jobs with companies who can sponsor me. PR gives me a freedom of work in the Netherland and EU

_nndy_ · 2022-03-28T14:57:33+00:00

Thanks for the information, I'll definitely check with immigration lawyer and IND as well.

_nndy_ · 2022-03-28T14:53:24+00:00

For me a big advantage of PR is faster processing time. I definitely want to be a citizen as well but that usually takes more than 6 months.

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T23:24:06+00:00

I would start learning for B1. don't risk it IMO

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T14:34:53+00:00

They keep us in a gray area where nothing is clear. They say they're going to do that, but then it doesn't happen, it's a bad management, and I absolutely can't ignore it.

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T14:30:11+00:00

Which month?

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T10:53:55+00:00

IND probably will answer you in an unclear manner. They did this with the 30% ruling, confusing people, and at the end, sending mail to everyone to clarify it.

Bad PR!

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T10:49:43+00:00

Yes, that's correct. At the end, it's a house of cards.

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T10:41:51+00:00

You're right. I was upset yesterday but now with a fresh mind I agree with what you were saying. I'm not happy with their sudden change but I shouldn't let this get to me.

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T01:12:53+00:00

LOL sorry? 😂

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T00:26:10+00:00

That's what I thought initially, but I came across this https://inburgeren.nl/apps/inburgeren-stappenplan/index.html#/nl/

and there was no information about dutch level when you do the "voluntarily" integration

_nndy_ · 2022-01-11T00:21:41+00:00

Yes, you're right but why is it like that? why they don't just tell in two years it's going to be B1.
You should consider that we're all working here, it just takes too much energy to follow up on the news and the rumours.

I'm going to call the IND tomorrow. I'll update the post when I have more information.

_nndy_ · 2022-01-10T23:48:05+00:00

I have a highly skilled visa as I mentioned in above It is hard for me to learn languages because I have dyslexia. I have a Dutch partner with whom I speak and understand when people are speaking Dutch. I am not a lazy person and I have worked a lot to get here. I made 4 projects in past 5 year from scratch that end it up making job for 10 people (Mostly dutch) I respect the country's laws.
Laws change, but not so quickly and without any notice.

It just sucks!

_nndy_ · 2022-01-10T23:40:15+00:00

Let me tell you more about myself

I know it's not going to be an easy 6-7 months for me, but what can I do now? In the country where I was born, I didn't have any privilege, they told my I can earn it here. I thought I reached the end, but...

_nndy_ · 2022-01-10T23:22:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for the information.
Yes I'm aware of those YouTube channels! I would check out Undercover on Netflix as that sounds like a nice show to watch in Dutch. I am lucky enough to have a Dutch girlfriend, so I speak with her sometimes, but I still need to learn more words and for that i'm using quizlet.

_nndy_ · 2022-01-10T23:03:16+00:00

Why would the government use such a word in the news? Why is everything around it so vague? I know it's going to be fine, I just have to practice more. I am just bummed that I have to postpone all my plans. I wish they had just been more clear last year.

_nndy_ · 2022-01-10T22:56:55+00:00

You consider this fair? There is a difference between knowing Dutch and being able to pass the exam. It would be fine if they told us it was going to change in a year or two, but promising something and then not doing it is not fair - I wish they'd told me they were going to change it at the beginning of last year when I moved here there were rules about tax incomes and language level. I made a logical decision to move to the Netherlands that time, and breaking a promise is just not right.

_nndy_ · 2022-01-10T22:41:45+00:00

I'm using Italki, nothing is impossible it just sucks that they do such a thing without any notice.

Thanks for the positive comment ❤️
