The Direct Consular Filling

I will attempt here to describe the best procedure, which we lived, my husband and me in September 2005.

First, as mentioned earlier Direct Consular Filing, addresses the french and french living in France (and of course married to a citizen is American / e), seeking to obtain a green card or "Immediate Relative visa ". (it is possible that this applies to people residing in other countries this is to do with the consulate of the country concerned)

The procedure is very similar to that detailed previously, I will not describe here that the details.

To apply at the consulate, you must go to Paris, and Paris only, on Fridays from 9am to 12pm. This procedure being very popular if you just province on purpose, I strongly advise you to like us, we went there at 7am and we waited in line. it was first, with very little, but at least it allowed us to be moving on. Not arrived at the consulate at 11:30 with the hope that someone ... is not even worth a try .. Especially with the problems of passport / visa related to tourists today.

Some tips: Take
you are ahead ... This procedure is, thanks god, usa conmparativement relativemetn short, but it takes a little work. Go get the folder with the necessary forms, or if necessary, download the Internet. (The link is located at the bottom of page)

You'll need several documents:

• Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative
• Birth certificates older than 3 months for french citizen, 6 months for the U.S. citizen (or a passport I think)
  
• format Photos American ( details here) The consulate has a list of Photographers possible in some of the consulate and owns a photo booth in his special place. I think it costs 4 euros.
• Marriage Certificate
• Forms G325-A (BioGraphic data sheet) and sundry (4 similar pages each)
• Form I-864 Affidavit of Support (notarized), Tax Refunds accompanies the last three years for a U.S. citizen. It will prove that in this way can you "maintain" pay equals or exceeds about $ 17,000 or more depending on the situation.
• criminal records of all countries in which you reside more than 12 months
• Passport
• Envelope Chronopost 2lbs (inflatable)
• The results of medical examinations
  
• There are other documents I think (one on military service for men) that I will add later.
• a credit card of $ o $ .. payment in card was actually quite easy for me.
  

In general, I do not think you need a lawyer. Most people are doing very well by itself for this application.
I faced some difficulties regarding my situation sometimes a bit peculiar, and I always find answers, it asks certainly work ...

aware, however, that Mr. Werner, the mfe forum has been very useful source of information. Having said that before asking questions, do a little preliminary work, he spends a lot of time on the forum, it is always meiux have a specific question and documents to obtain a precise answer.

Details diverse and varied .. THE FAQ-

Here all what I can think of who can be useful ... If you have something to add, leave a comment I include them.

Vaccines: France in general does the MMR vaccine only once, sometimes even not at all (I had in my part of the vaccine: MMR = measles mumps rubella), the usa you twice One of the elements of MMR (rubella?) so be careful. especially since it usually takes 3 weeks between 2 vaccines.

Criminal Record: You will need a criminal record for any country you have resided plsu 12 months. In my case it was a criminal record that I had to get English. Be aware that England has no criminal record system, so you must get your local police station a request for a document equivalent to a criminal record. It costs 10 pounds and takes about 40 days. (Although different from the three days free from criminal and french .. ;)... apply online ..)

previous visas, students, etc. ..: in the case of people like me who have previously requested a J1 visa student style (in my case a Work and Travel visa in the USA) know that You will need the form that the Company with which you made your application you gave. Apparently it is yellow or pink (carbon copy). I can tell you more, I had lost ..! Know that despite the info I had gathered on both sides, the consulate asked me this paper and I said if you had received j1 visa least two years before your request, the demand for green card is not valid. This is due to a certian closed that says you must return two years in your home country before applying for a new visa. I ask for verification as it seems to me that this was due closed if the visa was obtained through a program sponsored by the state.

Consequences: The famous affidavit of support is a paper that binds you to your spouse in some way .. Let me explain. your spouse agrees to talk to you for the next 10 years or until you get U.S. citizenship. And this even if you divorce ...

24 months: Once your permanent resident card provisional obtained (when you are already in the U.S., have crossed the border, and have waited between 1 and XX months, for me it was a month)
know that all is not won, your spouse must reapply after 24 months . In this case, you will receive your permanent residence card. If your spouse does not remake his request, then you are regarded as illegal.Retour immigrated to the country ..

Co-Sponsor: If necessary you can be financially sponsored by a person other than your spouse (of what we do because we etiosn students during the three years preceding our request and they do into account that the salary of your spouse American) complete a form i-864 by your spouse, and an I-864 by your co-sponsor. We were very confused and lost between the i-864 and i-864 in our case my father in law has sponsored my application totally financially (= we do not join its revenues with those of my husband) so we took two i-864. I think that if you combine two incomes, you need an i-864 i-864 and A to co-sponsor.

medical test: They happens in 3 stages. You have received the letter e neededTo indicating that you have an interview with the embassy. Make an appointment with your doctor well in advance to have the results on the day of the interview. I think the doctor had also arranges blood tests and radios. But if I remember correctly was the blood tests without an appointment. First visist to the doctor advised by the consulate (there plusiseurs choice). It gives you the necessary papers to go do blood tests (blood tests, a matter of about 20 minutes at most) so that the radios of the lungs. You then return for a second appointment. Inspection results, the doctor filled out a document you back to the interview.
In my case, was at the time about Paris, I had the first appointment on Tuesday, exams on Wednesday and the second appointment, then the interview on Thursday. A much less greenhouse is advised .. It is a little less stressful.

maiden name / married name : When you have completed the papers for fear that the embassy tangled brushes ona has filled all my married name. Namely, you can use your two names CHOICE, but keep it simple. Choose one, and keep that throughout the proceedings.
also know, I did not change my passport for fear that it gets stuck with the request, If you have the opportunity to change your paper has made your new name before the proceedings begin.
Otherwise what happened to me is that all my papers was at my old name, my petition was at my new name, the embassy when they finally approve my request me they me they say " you do as you want but if you plan to use your new name, do you redo your passport before the visa tempone, like at customs it will be less complicated, and especially you will not have trouble when you travel ( visa / stamp in your passport being issued in the name indicates in the petition, so my new name)
race results, I had to renew my passport in a hurry, and send them chronopost. It was easy! So in summary
do as you wish, but make a choice, and keep it simple.
If you keep your maiden name, all your papers (American secu etc. ..) will have your maiden name), if you change your name, change your papers.

few questions interresting

Hello Marion, a tool that I never find itself clearly on the site - perhaps because it's obvious but it would be nice to be said in black and white: To Direct Consular Filing, is it that both spouses must be present? or just the French spouse (while the U.S. awaits him in the U.S. for example)

So I'm sure 95% yes your spouse must be present American at the Petition. That is to say the first time you go to the consulate, it's your spouse who is applying to American you can not give you a substitute him. It must indeed be present himself at the consulate and submit your I-30 with G325A forms, passport, etc. .. and pay the fee petition. I know that at that time we had finished all the papers and filled in case. It always feels better like that;)
I remember that my husband had come expressly for the marriage to 10.09 and 16.09 petiotionner the stressed out and that he must return to France expression for this, so I think yes it should be there. It is not required to be resident but since it uses the services of the American Consulate in Paris, it sounds sense. (Sorry for e without an accent but I have a QWERTY keyboard ..)
NO not forget that in this story, it's your spouse who is applying for you.

Pyramid sugars

You will find a more detailed article on this activity here.

Level: CM

Principle: Make
students calculate how much sugar it takes to build a pyramid (here based on 20 out of 20 sugars, floor next 19 of 19 ...).
Building the pyramid and to do the math to others.

I conducted this activity with 3 students in need of CM2 to conduct a workshop in a mathematical "Science Forum" organized on the town where I work. This activity can also lead to a booth for the festival's year-end school.

For your convenience you need to use sugars square.
It takes 2 hours to climb the pyramid.
This activity has been very successful with students and visitors many students valued organizers.

worked Skills:
- approached the concept of square
- organize and process calculations (multiplicative and additive)
- good use his calculator
- perform a division to determine the number of boxes needed
- suggest and implement possible aids and adaptations for students who attend the workshop based on their grade level
- to become "expert"

procedure possible:
- present the project to students, build cubes with a pyramid structure so that they understand and identify with the basic sugars will be a square of 20 sugar side
- calculating the number of sugars necessary for the base, not hesitate to let them draw a square of 20 squares of graph paper on hand for them to visualize and avoid making 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 (in passing the rule review zeros, which allows the calculation of head 20 x 20)
- calculation of subsequent stages and then adding the 20 results
- how much will he have to buy boxes? First calculate the number of sugars in a box (see ERMEL CM1 p 239) and then perform the division. WARNING, there should be a box more than the result found! For students to become aware of them calculate the number of sugars in the number of boxes to check found that will be enough.


For the stand is open to all, we can offer CE1/CE2 to announce the number of sugars which they think a student who runs the booth ad then "more" or "minus", the one who wins is the exact number ... a sugar! For CM
calculators available can perform the calculation in ten minutes.

Students from Central Science at the forum where we presented this activity, we were astonished by the computing overhead in seconds.
They use the following formula:
n (n + 1) (2n + 1) / 6 where n is the number of sugars on one side of the base of the pyramid.
