In an effort to obtain French citizenship I'd contacted the proper departments in Paris, for processing my documents. Lately, (it's a three year wait) I thought I'd consult a French Immigration lawyer. I have written four of them. Only one responded, saying he knew nothing about immigration to France, only to the U.S. Below I quote the general email I had written. I'm wondering if I'm getting no response because I've done the work and they're unable to help? Or, if I've made some horrid faux-pas that although glaring, I don't see? Any thoughts are helpful. -Thank you.
"I'm attempting to acquire a Certificate of French Nationality. I have filed a petition with the Justice minister, court of appeals of Paris. I provided them with (1) My birth certificate -Swiss. (2) My father's birth certificate -French. (3) A marriage certificate of my parents,certified by city hall from the 6th arrondisement of Paris. (4)A document reflecting property owned in the United States. (5) A photocopy of my passport. (6)Two passport sized photos. I am a naturalized American Citizen. The response from the court of appeals is stamped August 15, 2018. Dossier no.:XXXXXXXXX-2018. Their response said it was likely a three year wait for them to examine my documents. Would I benefit from retaining an immigration lawyer or should I let the French bureaucracy unfold at its own pace? "
