After the 1st interview with the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), you have to wait for the 2nd interview. Use the waiting period to prepare yourself. The waiting period takes more than 1 year on average.
Hand in your documents during the waiting period
It is important to collect as many documents as possible during the waiting period that support your identity and your refugee story.
