Update on naturalisation process

After two visits to the Dutch Embassy in London, most of the paperwork required for Lyn's naturalistion has now been submitted. Due to a mistake / omission by the SA Department of Home Affairs (they did not stamp and sign our marriage certificate), we now need to have this reprocessed, so the efforts of Greg and Sean as well as those of my sister Ineke have been enlisted. Hopefully, it will now all be 'in the system' in the next few weeks. After that it might take only 6 months before we have an answer from the authorities in The Hague and then a maximum of 3 more months before the Naturalisation ceremony. We had expected a year, so that is good news!
