Why the Netherlands? An American Lawyer Explains US Immigration & Her Dual Citizenship

Karol Brown has spent 26 years helping people through the American immigration system. Then she moved to the Netherlands on the DAFT and went through the Dutch system herself. In this conversation she compares what she experienced here with what her US clients face: the paperwork, the waiting, the lines, and the fear in immigrant communities. We also talk about voting from abroad ahead of the US midterms. This is Karol's experience and perspective, not legal advice. She's an attorney, but she's not your attorney. For your own case, hire a qualified immigration attorney. Vote from abroad by going to votefromabroad.org Request your ballot now and check your state's return method and deadline. Mail from the Netherlands is slow, so pay for a service like FedEx, UPS, etc. Find Karol: Karol Brown on TikTok (@karolbrown59) YouTube (   / @worldonelaw   ) Her firm, World One Law Group (world1law.com). This is the first in a series where I sit down with Americans who moved to the Netherlands, so you can compare the two countries from real stories.
