Hello All!
I am planning to marry my French fiancé here in the US at the end of September. We plan to move to France after the marriage. I will send in the paperwork, will stay with him for 90 days and then return to wait for my Livret and so I can apply for my Spouse Visa. I live in California so my consulate is the one in San Francisco, but I will send all of the information for my marriage to receive the Livret de Famille to the Los Angeles Consulate.
I just recently found out about the publication of the bans. I thought it was just a procedure in France. As you know, september is not far away, and I would like to know if it is still possible to get married here without publication the bans? Will our marriage be rejected in France? Will it not be possible for me to apply for the Spouse visa in the future? Will I be able to receive the Livret?
From the information I have gathered so far, not publishing the bans just means that it will take longer to receive the livret de famille (3-6 months). Is this the only downside to not publishing the bans before the marriage, or is it necessary?
Can they do something drastic like refusing to register the marriage?
Has anyone had experience with any of this?? I have tried contacting the LA consulate, but sadly they have not yet responded.
I appreciate any help!
Thank you so much!
