Hello there !
I apologize in advance for the mistakes I might make writing in english. It is not my mother tongue.
I am french and I am currently living in France.
I am planning to get married with my american fiancee, in France, soon. We are planning to get married during one of his 90 days touristic trip to France (without visa), and to ask for a long-stay visa as a "spouse of a french national", from the US, after his return.
I am doing a lot of research and find a lot of documentation about the paperworks required but I have difficulty to set a clear timeline. I would like to figure out if 90 days is enough or not to get married without stress, considering that we are not planning a big wedding with big organisation.
Following those 3 steps, I try to make a more detailed timeline : 1/ gathering all the paperworks and translations we need, 2/ my fiance is coming to France, we apply together at the city hall, set a date, get married a few weeks after, 3/ my fiance go back to the US to ask for his visa.
I miss some information though, for example : the processing time between the first appointment at the city hall and the actual "publication des bans" (I heard it can take 2 months!!!) ? the moment when we are supposed to set the date of the wedding (is it after the "publication des bans" or can we set a date before) ? also, the processing time if we want to get a "prenuptial agreement" at the notaire's ?
I would appreciate if some, who have been in the same situation, can share their experience and, if they remember about it, share the detailed timeline of their marriage process in France.
Thanks in advance
