  Hello.

   

  I have applied for Dutch passport. I want to know 

   

  1. What will happen now - next steps in this process?

  2. How much time I have to wait?

  3. I have heard of a ceremony , when that will happen?

  4. Is there any thing which I have to do or follow up ?

   

  Thanks.

  The ceremony is after the application process is completed, not before.   The citizenship process is explained in the IND link I provided earlier.

  Thanks again.
