hi again,

i need some true and verified info... i am french, living in Uk and my husband wd like to apply for french nationality... according to french embassy, we have to be married 4 yrs (law of 2006)!! on wikipedia, i have been told we need to wait 3 yrs and finally, one my husband's friends told him he was officially told after 2 yrs u can apply...

I emailed in vain the french consulate and i need some proper info cos I am not sure which source to trust...

Pls help,

Thanks guys and happy new yr!!!

 

thanks for ur reply.... i will consult the website... i have got a masters from france!! and a postgraduate from uk ... i also worked for the local authorities here for 8 yrs so i wd hope it should suffice!!

I know Wikipedia is a bit vague but they seemed to be more up to date that the consulate site...

my husband's friend did confirm a few days ago he was allowed to apply after 2 or 3 yrs so maybe his partner has the qualifications u spoke about...

have a great day

could u give me the link where u found that it can be after 2 yrs if u have studied in france at a high level? i checked the conseil d'etat website but was unsuccessful at finding the info i needed.... cheers

 

thanks a bunch!! i actually got a call from consulate for interview to validate my mariage in france and asked at same time... it is 4yrs for french living abroad and 5 yrs if in france.... either way, it is a long wait!! as long as living here on a resident card and having to ask for visa every time we go to france to see my family....
