French/American Couples - Part III - 2014

[arnaudgf 1]

My wife and I got married overseas (outside U.S. And France) is it really necessary to registered Our marriage with the French government ? Our marriage is recognized by the U.S. Government and my wife has her 10 years green card, keep in mind that we have no intention of moving back to France which is why we never registered our marriage.....will she has trouble when it comes to US citizenship because we don't have "live de famille"

I don't think think you "have" to, in particular if you are not planning on living in France. It may create issues with the french tax administration, not sure about it.

As far as citizenship, it has no impact. The US doesn't care if your marriage is registered in France or not as long as you meet the criteria (just went through the process )

J'y suis eligible donc ca m'interesse aussi ! (meme si je pense pas me lancer maintenant)

Après avoir trainer quelques mois (l'idée de donner encore une fois $600 aux services d'immigration ne m'enchantait pas ), je me suis finalement lancer en janvier dernier.

Ca a été la démarche la plus rapide de toute. En gros 3 mois entre l'envoi du dossier et ma cérémonie de naturalisation (vendredi dernier):

- rendez vous biometric au bout d'un mois

- entretient 6 semaine plus tard

- cérémonie deux semaines plus tard

Maintenant je vais pouvoir voter en Novembre (une de mes principale motivation)!

HI everyone! I was wondering what the recent wait time between NOA2 and the interview is for the K1 Visa at the Paris embassy? My fiance will most likely be coming to work at the winery I currently work at once he arrives, we get married, and we file for AOS/his work permit is approved (he had come to the US to work at this winery two harvests in a row on a J1 visa-- that's how we met!). My company is hoping to get a rough estimate of what his start date would be. Our NOA1 date is 3/17, so if all goes well, we're hoping to receive an NOA2 by the end of May.

Merci beaucoup!

Hi Dhluong !

Between our NOA2 (March 22) and the day when the Consulate in Paris received our documents (April 22), it took 1 month.

Now, I kind of understood that I now have to wait about 10 days to receive my Packet 3, then I should get my interview about a month after that.

If anyone has any more information to share I'd be interested to know too!

Great! Thanks so much for your quick response, Mandinea!

Super! J'hesite, j'hesite... mais ca me plairait bien de pouvoir voter en novembre aussi.

Nice story! :-) I didn't meet my husband in Napa but we got married there (K-1 route also).

Once you get the NOA2, it might take a couple of months until he gets the visa (your file needs to go to the embassy, then he gets the interview scheduled... and more wait until he receives his passport back+visa with the sealed envelope). It might be quick, but it's also possible that it takes a while.. just be ready to expect some delays.

Bonjour,

J'attends toujours mon NAO2 mais je me pose quelques questions et peut-être que vous avez les réponses

- qu'est ce qui peut vraiment faire que l'on est refusé au niveau médical?

- qui a publier les bans avant de partir? et si vous l'avez fait, j'ai vu qu'il faut un certificat de naissance du fiancé américain aussi de moins de 3 mois, je ne sais pas s'ils délivrent des certificat de naissance à la demande et surtout où il doit le demander

- le police record c'est juste le bulletin numéro 3?

- où avez vous fait les photos passport format américain?

J'aurai surement d'autres questions mais si déjà quelqu'un à les réponses ce serait cool; l'attente est longue et on s'occupe comme on peut en gardant l'espoir d'avoir l'approval soon ^^

Merci encore les frenchies

salut!

ce qui peut que l'on soit refusé au niveau medical est biensur toutes maladies qui pourrait présenter un risque sanitaire, exemple la tuberculose d'où la radio des poumons, les mst type sida et hepatites pour ne citer que celles-ci..... un examen sanguin positif aux drogues entraine un ajournement de k1 dans le meilleur cas d'un an et dans le pire un refus categorique!

pour ce qui est de la publication des bancs pour ma part je ne l'ai pas fait, vu la complexité au niveau des dates d'obtention du visa et la durée de validité de nos document, j'ai lu sur dautres forums que l'on pouvait le faire après le mariage, par courier avec pieces justificatives...n'étant pas experte peut etre que d'autres ont d'autres sources et pourrons nous éclairer....

pour l'extrait du casier judiciaire oui effectivement c'est le bulletin N*3, la demande se fait en ligne, et tu le reçois au bout de dix jrs

maintenant concernant les photos je suis simplement allé chez un bon photographe qui était au courant des formats américains.

en esperant t'avoir un peu aider :-)

ooo ok i get it!

i think that first you have to ask for it online here: www.cjn.justice.gouv.fr

then answer to all the questions

they will send it to your home adress in 10 days.

i guess it will be in french, so you will have to find a translator on your area, that is abble to do it

here is what i have found on the us ambassy in Paris info:

"All documents must be in English, Portuguese or French. Documents in all other languages must be accompanied by certified English-language translations. The translation must include a signed statement by the translator affirming that the translation is accurate and the translator is competent to translate."

hope this help you

frfrog, we have got our Bulletin n 3, that is not the question. In my bangkok american embassy they ask english translation, I thought so many people did it, that this translation should be circulating somewhere in internet, because why pay if you can do it yourself and make it sign by someone? I saved my time and money by finding some other translations, but not this one, I thought VJ members might have it. Instead I could share with them template of french birth certif into english for example.
