HI everyone,
so I am a bit worried by all the appointments my hubby has to go through since arriving in France.
Here is the thing. He was supposed to have his french citizenship by the time we arrived in France but the french consulate lost his paperwork when we applied (sorry misfiled it
...) and that delayed everything 6 months.
He went through the french citizenship interview in Chicago on May 19th 2011 and was succesful. Now he is waiting for the paperwork to come through which apparently takes 12 months.
We arrived in France early Jan 2012.
We got an appointment to the Ofii for March 20th in Toulon. Unfortunately we will be in Paris that weekend and my sister is visiting from abroad.
They are mentionning we dont want to cancel (plus i think he needs all that by early April to be legal, right?)..
so questions:
anybody ever tried to move the appointment from one town to another, the other one being Paris, where it sounds like it is a little hellish?
two: sounds like it is an all day affair? stupid question but where do you eat/ get coffe and all...???
three: if I come with him, will I just have to wait outside for everything? am I allowed in the building? at the medical visit? at any of the appointments?
(basically not going would be great for me since I d be able to stay with my sis, but I cant imagine him going through all that alone)
thanks everyone..
