LIVRET DE FAMILLE

[keweul 1]

Just received my Livret de Famille (from the french consulte in NY) and I noticed that it only has my husband & I listed in it and not our children (I have 2, he's father to both)...why is that? is this the new format or will they be sending a seperate book? I'm also waiting for them to return my passport with my name correction (changing my maiden name to my married name) not sure how long that'll take...

It doesn't sound normal. Did you send the birth certificate of both children along with it?

I would email the consulate and check if there was a mistake.

Your children should be listed on the same livret de famille, they don't get a separate one (at least until they marry).

Thanks, I did email them and they said it was an error on their part (they somehow "forgot" to put them in it). They're going to redo it and send me a new one...I was thinking that seemed odd that the kids weren't in it but thought it was something new they were doing...Good thing I caught it LOL...

Thanks

Cordialement,

I havent been hearing from the consulate in New-York yet, thought they should have had our package with the required documents to register our marriage one week ago. I know it is gonna take time to get the Livret De Famille (woman on the phone had told me abt 5 months) but all I wonder right now is if they got our package so I am hoping to get some news. Should I mail them ?

Well, was your package delivered? You sent it with delivery confirmation right?

[Moonskin 0]

Idk. I prepared the package (big enveloppe with bubble paper and so on) but that's my husband who sent it from the base post office. I'll ask him.

[Moonskin 0]

Oh nvm hubby got back from work and they contacted HIM lol, they sent a mail in French but he is not reading it very well anymore xD. Now trying to find out what they want or say. ^^

Ok sorry 3rd post, wish the EDIT would WORK

=> Je ne comprends rien du tout, ils nous demandent d'envoyer l'acte de mariage intégral (extended form), original +1 photocopie alors qu'on leur a déjà envoyé dans le package. Le comble, c'est qu'ils nous ont renvoyé l'original dans ce même courrier ! ! !

Vous avez eu un cas similaire ?

[Kinito_2k3 5]

euuuuhhh non Nous on a envoye le "Certificate of Marriage" que l'on a utilise pour mon AOS...mais ca ne fait que 3 semaines alors peut etre qu'ils vont me demander la meme chose...ca fait combien de temps vous? Voila qq infos:

"Upon request in writing, the man or woman can request a so-called extended version, which contains additional facts such as parents' and marriage officiant's name, place of ceremony, etc."

Notre certificat de mariage contient ces informations mais nous n'avons pas fait de requete speciale...le votre les contient aussi??

Ils ont reçu notre courrier il y a une semaine. Mon chéri a reçu le leur hier en rentrant du travail.

J'avais envoyé tout ce qu'ils demandaient sur le site du consulat.

- lettre d'explication avec liste des documents et nos coordonnées à tous les 2

- son certificat de naissance et le mien

- certificat de mariage

- photocopie de ma carte d'identité

- photocopie de mon passeport à la page du formulaire I-94W

- même une photocopie d'une de mes quittances de loyer car on doit justifier le domicile

Pour les documents officiels : original + photocopie.

En fait je ne comprends pas ce qu'ils veulent, ils nous envoyent un courrier disant qu'ils ont bien reçu notre demande mais qu'on doit leur fournir un certificat de mariage "extended version". C'est bien celle-ci qu'on leur a envoyé car elle regroupe nos noms / prénoms avec l'age, la date de naissance, le lieu, etc, ainsi que celle de nos parents respectifs. Et ils nous la renvoyent en demandant d'envoyer la même chose ; je suis dubitative.

J'habite Ny, et j'ai reçu mon livret de famille au bout de 10 jours.

Le consulat nous a renvoyé notre package aussi.

Ils veulent du certificat de mariage ou licence de mariage (c'est étrange, je sais- ce document est celui sur lequel il y a la signature des temoins, celui pris aupres du ''''court office'''').

Apres quelques petites recherches, le document que j'ai envoyé est le suivant : c'est le ''affidavit, licence, and certificate of mariage''-, avec signature des témoins, et certifié-

Je pense que tu dois avoir une copie, sinon, il faudrait aller au court office et demander une copie.

Good luck
