Hello,
Could anyone please let me know how long I can expect to wait for my French Citizenship to come through.
Im a South African with a French father (unfortunately now deceased), living in Ireland.
I have applied for my Certificate de la Nationalite and completed all the forms and submitted reams of documents. How long could I expect it to take for my final approval to come through, as I am 'technically French'. Unfortunately Im living in Ireland so all my documents have to be submitted through the Paris Office and I dont have the luxury of meeting with the Regional Prefect.
I have also heard that 'new citizens' have to undergo an interview, could anyone shed some light on this?
Looking forward to your replies, many thanks
Odette
