Ah ah, that’s exactly what I tell people too, and then I tell them how much it costs and they simply cannot believe it.
Although I do have to admit I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to the French immigration laws, but at least I try not to make assumptions.

I swear, if I hear one more person say “I thought he automatically got citizenship because he married you” I’m going to scream. Except in reality, I just laugh and start explaining and by the time I get to the 2 year conditional perm. resident card… they’ve usually shut off. sigh.

And you will have more.
I’m not looking forward to getting back into USCIS stuff. In April we need to remove the AOS conditions since we’ve been married less than two years at the time they gave me the GC. Yeah an other present to immigration of $500+.
I get mad when people think that by marrying an american you get automatic citizenship. Thank God for Visajourney. Wouldn’t have made it without the support there.

Wow, it’s so confusing. All countries have weird processes, but the U.S.’s always seems to have the most steps and forms!
