Web Results

So I still have a very long way to go, but here are some sites that I found that could be useful:

http://my.expatica.com/c:nl/forum/index.php?c=6
This site has a ton of up to date news from Holland and around the world as well as a variety of resources for immigrants. What is most appealing to me is that there is a discussion board on which those new to Amsterdam can ask questions about life in Amsterdam, visa problems, assimilation, education, you name it.

http://www.immigrationboards.com
This one was awesome because it is a message board specifically for people who have questions about immigration, how to obtain visas and work permits, what the application process is, etc... Its nice because the discussions are split up based on the country in question so you don't have to search through a ridiculous amount of posts that aren't really relevant.

I just stumbled onto this page when trying to search for information on the new Dutch immigration video, and was excited to find a short clip from it. The video was more cheesy than shocking or offensive in the 6.5 minutes available (the actual film is ~105 min), yet it was interesting to see how it was set up and what points were being emphasized the most.

Other than that, I did find a lot of articles and papers discussing immigration issues in the Netherlands, but since they weren't particularly interactive, I don't know that they count.
