In
summary
,
the
facts
are
as
follows
.
The
applicant
,
a
Surinamese
woman
,
was
allowed
to
enter

only
once
for
a
limited
period
of
45
days
for
the
declared
purpose
of
a
tourist
visit
to
an
aunt
in
1997
.
After
expiration
of
her
visa
she
overstayed
illegally
in
the
Netherlands
.
The
applicant
then
repeatedly
requested
legal
residence
and
all
of
these
requests
were
ultimately
refused
,
while
one
such
request
is
still
pending
.
In
the
meantime
,
the
applicant
had
started
building
a
family
life
in
the
Netherlands
despite
having
no
legitimate
expectation
of
being
granted
permanent
legal
residence
in
the
country
,
a
factor
that

the
Netherlands
.
The
applicant
and
her
husband
have
three
children
,
all
holding
Dutch
nationality
by
virtue
of
their
father
’s
nationality
.
The
applicant
,
her
husband
and
her
children
have
led
a
continuous
family
life
together
in
the
Netherlands
in
the
period
under

children
have
never
visited
Suriname
.
The

language
of
Suriname

Dutch
.
