Hi,

My husband and I got married in the us. He filed for I130 and we are using consular processing (so I will go to the embassy in Paris for the cr-1 visa).

We never our marriage recognized in France so my French birth certificate doesn't mention our marriage.

Has anyone been in the same situation? Was that an issue when sending your documents to the NVC or giving your birth certificate at the embassy?

Thanks!

Hi,

My husband and I got married in the us. He filed for I130 and we are using consular processing (so I will go to the embassy in Paris for the cr-1 visa).

We never our marriage recognized in France so my French birth certificate doesn't mention our marriage.

Has anyone been in the same situation? Was that an issue when sending your documents to the NVC or giving your birth certificate at the embassy?

Thanks!

I got married in the Bahamas and had my wedding registered in France. I received my "Livret de Famille" and on my recent birth certificate, they didn't include my wedding.

So no worries !
