Marry and come to France

Hello.
I don't know if this will help. I am Indonesian married to a french national. We got married here in France, and after the wedding (before my schengen visa expired) i need to exit the country and go back to Indonesia and apply directly for the 'regroupement familial' visa from the Ambassade de France in Jakarta, to be able to stay in France. I don't know how is the connection between Mauritius and France about this, but since you were asking about french visa, this is my experience..
Good luck.

thanks for the reply, can I know how long did it take for you to get your VISA so that you could join your partner ?

I am American and got married in Paris within the 3 mos visa stay for France.  Now I am applying directly at the prefecture for the long stay visa and Carte Se Jour. A lot of paper work but simple. Good luck !

Hello again..
As soon as i arrived back in Indonesia, i applied directly at the Ambassade in Jakarta, in less than 1 month they issued my long stay visa (regroupement familial) valid for 1 year..


Cheers,

Gabrielle
