Hello.
I am living with my wife for more than 3 years outside Netherlands and we have kids. But she refused to go to the embassy to apply for my naturalization. Although we are living together. Is it possible to approach the embassy with all documents without going with her? Because she doesn't want.

Your wife refuse to cooperate with you to get you naturalized???
Sounds very odd to me...

Are you married according to the Dutch law?
I think you can start the procedure with all the require documents who must be not older than 6 months old.
Bare in mind that the whole procedure can take up a year or longer.

I hope so. But I need to be sure before I apply. I don't want to ruin it.
