Hi,
my husband who doesn’t have French citizenship nor a « titre de séjour » entered France on 11 March.
on the form, he said he was a French citizen or partner of one and they let him go.
one advice : get a direct flight from the US to France so the customs authorities will verify the information and authorize boarding... my husband was denied boarding a flight with a layover in London.
Happy to answer more questions.
cheers! 

Congrats !!!! Good luck for your preparation

Hi!
got an RFE last week, and we are still working on uploading new documents...
so we'll hopefully be in the same situation soon
did you gather any information about the reopening of the embassy?
cheers!

Hi Alix,
 
my husband traveled from the US to France on 10 May. All went fine, except that he was denied boarding a flight with a layover in London and had another flight cancelled at the last minute, all related to COVID uncertainties.
Context : we are married, he is a US citizen and I live in France full time.
 
My advice :
- have all papers ready (marriage certificate, justificatif de domicile in France, copy of your passport)
- book a direct flight from the US to France (any layover might result in him being denied boarding)
- forced quarantine is not in place - it is only on a voluntary basis and can happen at home
 
The whole travel was really not bad (remember, this was when lockdown was still in place in France !!)
Let me know if you have any more question about it !

Hi all!
since were are waiting for UCSIS or NVC to work on our cases (we finally sent all financial and civil documents a few days ago !!) or the embassy to reopen, do you know any interesting blogs/websites created by French people who moved to the US after they got married to an American or a PR? I'd love to gather more impressions of how things went for them... until it's our turn
Thanks a lot!

Hi !
 
Some say "motif familial impérieux" can hardly be questioned, but you never know...
 
My husband wants to come to France from the US - he French embassy in the US said he should travel with a marriage certificate, a copy of my ID, my "certificat de domicile" in France as well as the usual form that describes the reason why he is traveling ("motif familial impérieux").
 
Maybe you should also bring the proof that you have a place to self-isolate at in the US ?
 
Good luck !!

Trump signed his executive order : 
 
" (b)  The suspension and limitation on entry pursuant to section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply to:
...
(iv)    any alien who is the spouse of a United States citizen "

I do hope so!
From what I gathered, NVC is still working (we are still missing the affidavit of support).
But with embassies closed until further notice, who knows when they'll start scheduling interviews again... 😟 
Have you read anything about that?
