Merci bien ! Effectivement, je me munirais du NOA1.

J'ai une autre question du coup... Est-ce que quelqu'un a déjà essayé de faire marcher un "waiver" pour les vaccins ? Je n'ai jamais eu le ROR/MMR, ils demandent donc deux étapes de vaccinations, y a des antibios dedans, c'est quelque chose que je ne ferais que s'ils m'y forçaient, hors je vois qu'un waiver existe. Si quelqu'un a déjà fait ça je voudrais savoir si ça peut être discriminatoire, ou ralentir extrêmement le processus ?

Bonne paperasse/attente à tout le monde !

Pas trop d'infos a ce sujet mais j'imagine que c'est délicat comme tentative avec des risques de bien retarder ton dossier.

Je me permets de relancer ici le sujet du demenagement. On a a peu pres 5m3 de cartons a envoyer, et des devis de 2300e a des montants de folie (de la part des demenageurs classiques).

Je suis entrain de contacter mon agence locale de Schenker (transitaire), ainsi que Crown Relocations, si quelqu'un a un bon plan a partager, je suis preneur!

Si mes souvenirs sont bon, mon déménagement a coûté dans les alentour de 2000e-2500e (par une boite anglaise).

Donc pas particulièrement un bon plan.

Je peux creuser dans les emails si tu as besoin d'une référence.

Merci arnaudgf, apparement demenagement et bon plan sont antinomiques, ne te casse pas la tete ;)

J'attend toujours des devis de la part des deux agences ci-dessus, je posterai leur retours asap.

Bonjour,

It seems like most of you on this forum are K-1s, but I'll ask anyway. I'm the petitioner for my Belgian husband resident in France and we just got Case Closed on our I-130 petition. Wondering if anyone can give me your timelines after CC: how long until you got an interview date, how far away that was, delivery of visa after interview.

Thanks.

Oh and it has been great fun to read all of the comments about how much faster French administration is than the US. I have been stateside for three months now and can agree that with most things the French rock. Especially immigration.

Jon

Hello,

My husband is French and we are finally going to have an interview at the Embassy in Paris in November.

He is exempted from military service because of medical reason. (although it has been treated and he can have a normal life now.)

We have obtained official "Extraits des Services" from Service Historique de la Defense (Centre des archives du personnel militaire) but it does not really say "why the military service wasn't done".

Do we still need to get more specified documents for the interview? If so, how can we get it?

Je me permets de relancer ici le sujet du demenagement. On a a peu pres 5m3 de cartons a envoyer, et des devis de 2300e a des montants de folie (de la part des demenageurs classiques).

Je suis entrain de contacter mon agence locale de Schenker (transitaire), ainsi que Crown Relocations, si quelqu'un a un bon plan a partager, je suis preneur!

Hello,

Suis preneur aussi de billes pour le denemagement. On va shooter qques m3 egalement depuis Paname et je cherche qques boites pour faire le transport.

2000EUR c'est pas un montant de folie si tes biens sont assures.

La question que je me pose, c'est comment mettre "on hold" les cartons chez le demenageur en attendant d'avoir un adresse fixes aux USA (un boulot quoi...).

Ca evite 2 demanagements: un FR-POE et un POE-NEWHOME.

Sinon, pour rester entre Frenchies, j'ai envoye mes docs au NVC et ils ont ete recus en date du 17 SEPT. (apres 2 checklists: 1 pour AOS et 1 pour Civil Docs).

--> est-ce que ceux qui sont peu ou prou dans les memes dates peuvent faire signe, histoire de voir a quelle vitesse le NVC va traiter (ETA 11novembre si on prends les 55jours de traitement classiques), et surtout pour savoir a peu pres qd l'ambassade va nous proposer un creneau.

thx dudes and ladies.

Salut, j'ai contacte un transitaire local (une assez grosse boite de transport international en fait) qui me propose d'expedier ma caisse maritime de 6m3 jusqu'au port pour un total de 1500 euros (incluant le cout de la caisse). Je dois m'occuper de dedouaner une fois aux US avec un broker. Pas mal.

Les demenageurs proposent du garde-meuble en general. Pour attendre NEWHOME tu peux toujours stocker tes affaires dans un Public Storage ou U-Haul.

Sinon, pour rester entre Frenchies, j'ai envoye mes docs au NVC et ils ont ete recus en date du 17 SEPT. (apres 2 checklists: 1 pour AOS et 1 pour Civil Docs).

thx dudes and ladies.

Je ne peux pas t'aider pour ca, j'en suis encore a essayer de faire cracher le morceau a USCIS s'ils ont envoye ma petition au NVC (on est 15j apres approval).

Quel etait le souci au niveau des civil docs pour ton IV?

Thanks.

Le souci c'est que j'avais envoye le certif de mariage FR alors qu'a la base on s'est maries aux US en 1er et on a fait transcrire dans les registres FR apres (norlam)

--> le NVC voulait le doc originel US... (et original), pas le doc officiel Francais.

Effectivement, le mariage aux US est celui qui compte pour eux.

Petite question, le NVC veut les actes de naissance intégraux ou les extraits avec filiation? J'ai du mal a trouver l'info.

Dites,

Dans les anciens qui sont inscrits sur les registres des francais de l'etranger, y'en a t-il ont recu l'email de Frederic Lefebvre sur FATCA?

C'est assez flippant ce truc.... Votre banque francaise vous a t-elle envoye une lettre pour dire qu'elle fermait vos(tre) compte(s) ?!

extrait du mail:

"Bonjour --

En raison de l'application de la loi américaine de collecte des informations bancaires, appelée FATCA, près de 50 000 comptes bancaires de Français vivant aux Etats-Unis sont menacés de fermeture immédiate.

Beaucoup d’entre vous sont déjà concernés. Ils m'ont saisi de leur situation.

J’ai donc une nouvelle fois interpellé le gouvernement à l’Assemblée Nationale sur le choix que font nombre de banques françaises de fermer, sans avertissement, ni recours, les comptes bancaires ouverts en France de nos compatriotes installés aux États-Unis. Ceci face au surcoût administratif provoqué par FATCA.

Grâce à vous, j’ai pu m’appuyer, dans mon discours, sur vos nombreux témoignages qui montrent votre désarroi face à cette situation difficile.

Si votre banque vous a notifié la fermeture de votre compte, sachez que chaque Français, où qu’il réside, a le droit à un compte bancaire en France. C’est la loi.

Cela vaut pour tout Français des Etats-Unis qui se retrouve dans cette situation.

J'ai vu cet email oui.

D'après ce que j'entend d'amis américain en France, depuis l'entrée en vigueur de FATCA, les expatriés américain ont beaucoup de soucis avec les banques européennes, et une partie d'entre eux ont même renoncé à leur passeport US.

Ma banque française (LCL) ne m'a pas fait de problèmes pour l'instant.

Hello,

My husband is French and we are finally going to have an interview at the Embassy in Paris in November.

He is exempted from military service because of medical reason. (although it has been treated and he can have a normal life now.)

We have obtained official "Extraits des Services" from Service Historique de la Defense (Centre des archives du personnel militaire) but it does not really say "why the military service wasn't done".

Do we still need to get more specified documents for the interview? If so, how can we get it?

Hello,

I'm pretty sure that as long as the document states that your husband is cleared from military duty, the embassy doesn't care about the reason why.

Thanks. I hope this will be enough at the interview.

Ok, aucun probleme de mon cote non plus a ce jour. Apparemment ca ne concernerait que les comptes inactifs ?
