020-575 5309
Calling this number, you get into a menu which will refer to the information number underneath for all visa-related matters. I never got to talk to an actual person, then again I used to call in the afternoon
You should call this number between 9-12 am. Choose option 2 for Dutch menu, then option 5 for the immigrant visa department. I got an answermachine at my first try, when i called again 5 min later, I got to talk to a real nice lady.
You could also call direct: 020-5755331 or 020-5755333 (the last number is the one to which you are being forwarded when you call the above number).
Visa Information Service: 0900-872 8472 (€ 0.70 / minute)
I didn't find this one very useful (either) to be honest, for it seems to be predominantly aimed at tourist visas; a near endless barrage of menu choices and info that didn't help me any, but did cost me an absolute fortune
