The Plot Thickens

Thanks to Expatica for the new information about applying for permits to stay in the Netherlands. We don't know what this means for us, since our permits are already in the system (supposedly). However, we could be affected: we submitted 1 application for a renewal for our student status in February; submitted 1 for our work contract in March, which should have canceled our renewal application; and submitted 1 for our work contract in June, because our March application was returned to us for an unknown reason. So, since we could have as many as three applications in, I wonder how quickly, even thought we're not asylum seekers, we could end up here.
