Recently, State Secretary Klaas Dijkhoff wrote a letter to all asylum seekers waiting to submit applications, saying that, due to the workload, it may take six months before it's their turn at the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND). However, now it turns out that the available IND capacity is not used to the full. Problems occur due to logistical challenges in the transport of asylum seekers to the reception center. Fewer people are taken to the center than can be helped in a day. This is why the IND staff "at times has nothing to do," according to chief director Rob van Lint.
