Mariage between a French man and American woman

Hello , it's possible to get your long stay visa from here after you are married.  Just marry within the 3 mos of her being here.  Which is what I just did.  Then go to your proper prefecture with your family marriage book and all info that they will need.  They fingerprinted me and on July 5 I go and get my Proper if card and my long stay Visa.
Make sure your US birth certificate is within 6 mos old and you have the Apostille for it!  Have it translated !!!!
There's lots of paperwork involved but nothing difficult!
Good luck

Oops proper ID card not if card!

Hi!
Thank you so much for your help.
We have all the papers already ! 😊
So, it is possible to ask for the long term visa after getting married, on the tourist visa, without having 6 month of common life in France before ?
I saw it was a requirement to ask for it.
Thanks a lot!

Yes, I had to prove 6 mos together at my address in paris before!  I did a lot of back and fourth though.  My husband was being treated for cancer so I exited to U.K. And came back in between the 6 mos .  We've been together longer though.  6 mos proof for sure was required with the energy bill.  Sorry I missed that question in your previous post.

Oh, okay, it would be our problem actually. As she is on a tourist visa she can't stay more than 3 month without exiting the country. And we are not on the same bill to make it easier, we're hosted by someone.
But she lived in France last year for an entire year. I don't know if it could help.
