Hello everybody !
First of all, I must say thank you for all the great forumers taking time to help us for any concerns !
I am completely addicted to this forum, even though I just posted once...
Anyway, I would need help in my complicated case:
My boyfriend won the lottery so I am not the beneficiary (EU357**). We are together since 7 years and won't have any difficulties to proove our relationship. However, we are still not married, mainly because of me, as I didn't want a quick mariage (I'm a girl, sorry, want the things to be romantic ) I know this is a mistake and nothing can be done about it right now). Our mariage is planned for the beginning of April (the 7th). When we sent the documents to KCC last May, he was then considered as single and wanted the interview to be in Paris.
In order to complicate my case, my boyfriend just left France for New Caledonia (new job) and I am staying in Paris until the end of my contract (end of June). I'm just going 3 weeks in April in New Caledonia for vacations, mariage and go back to France.
So technically, as soon as the mariage is done, we would need to send new documents to KCC with mariage certificate AND asking to be interviewed in Sydney (closest place from New Caledonia).
Now, let's place to my concerns:
- When looking at the visa bulletin, I'm very worried to be current in June as some forumers are planning. This would be the worst case senario as we would need to postpone the interview for July AND we would have no time to send new documents to KCC (the visa bulletin for June being published in April). What do you think about that ?
- If we are lucky enough and are current in July, do you think we will have time in April to send the documents to KCC ?
Another question, if the worst case senario happens (meaning current in June so I can not attend to the interview), do you think my boyfriend can continue the process alone as single and only make changes in the interview location ? Most of the people says it takes about 5 years for the spouse to join her husband in the US, but I also read several time that this delay has been considerably reduced and take about 1 year, is it true ? Does someone can tell which visa is this about in order me to check the delay on the website ?
I hope I have been quite clear on my concerns, if not, feel free to ask for detail !
Thank you in advance for you help
