So if I am following this right, OFII (Office Francais de l'immigration et de l'integration) was just created and the rules are all changed.
A long term visa for the spouse of a French citizen used to be free, now it costs 300 euros. The procedures are changed too. This is getting confusing.

Here is the site
Does anybody has gone through this recent process? I just never heard of it till I stumbled upon it.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
