Does anyone know about what the Affidavit of Law is in France to marry. It says I need a French/American lawye

It sounds as though its a basic affidavit. Most civil law countries such as France require you to sign an affidavit stating that you are single before you can get married. If that is indeed what they require, you will need to fill out the affidavit and sign it in front of a notary public (in France, most lawyers are also notaries).

The French civil code provides that the following people can become citizens (Civil Code Articles 17)\n\n* to a child born of French parents or stateless parents;\n\n*  Every child born in France of foreign parents acquires French nationality on his coming of age where, at that time, he has his residence in France and has had his usual residence in France for a continuous or discontinuous period of at least five years, from the age of eleven.\n\n* Minor children in sim,ilar circumstances can claim citizenship on the basis of five years continuous living in France;\n\n* Marriage to a French citizen;\n\n* People of French heritage;\n\n* French speaking alien who contributes to france society.\n\nThe nearest French embassy or consulate to you could provide additional information.

Morbid question.\n\nYou can find another country where it is legal to do this and go there to get married, otherwise you are out of luck.\n\nSee, go to France people do whatever they want, uh, well, "Jacques Chirac" wants there ...\nhttp://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/02/10/france.marriage.ap/

the ULC (and all like organizations) is great but it has legally questionable status for the ablity to solemnize marriage in a few states such as New York, Virginia, and North Carolina.  A state in which the marriage would occur would help

Our friend before answered it right. There is a time frame involved with the actual marriage certificate and the time of a possible devorce before he/she is a U.S. citizen.

Forever. I think you probably promised something like "til death do us part", right? Marrying just for citizenship is illegal, if I'm not mistaken. As is falsifying a marriage license (it's a government document)

Does the state you live in recognize "common law" marriage? If so,you can go to the courthouse,taking proper ID with you,filling out some paperwork,pay the SAME fee it would cost to get a marriage license,and it would be notorized and you would be "common law" same as a Justice of the Peace marrying you(that is how it is here in Texas). Took the notorized paperwork to Driver's License place,got new license with his last name,nice and easy, no hassles,just had to pay the $10 to get name changed on Driver's License. Good luck

You won't get into trouble but he is probably marrying you so that he can become a citizen. How well do you know him? He could even be married back in his own country. That happened to a friend of mine.

you will want to check with the Immigration rules on this one but i am sure you are good to go . as long as husband and wife's name is on the birth certificate your OK  but I'd still get professional advice even ask a lawyer won't hurt better to be safe then sorry ..wish you all the luck

engagement is not a legally binding contract (any more) so go ahead - but wait for the decree absolute before any wedding preparations!

Dear Friend,\n\nTake a look at:\nhttp://www.legis.state.la.us/lss/lss.asp?doc=99762\n\nWhich is Lousiana's expungement statute.  It seems to matter a great deal whether you're trying to expunge an arrest or a conviction, and whether it relates to a misdemeanor charge or a felony charge.  Good luck!\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

A chaque fois qu'il a joué, Jomaa a, en général, fait des étincelles. Le problème pour lui, c'est qu'à Lens, la concurrence est rude pour les postes d'attaquant (Cousin, Dindane, Thomert, Jussie,...). Je pense qu'il mérite d'avoir vraiment sa chance : à lui de la saisir.

You can't...and if you found one...it is a fraud..you have to go to your local parish/county courthouse and get it in person and both you and your fiance need to be there. Check your state laws to see how many days before your wedding you will need to have the license and in how many days does it expire. So you don't go too early or too late.

The marriage is valid under Church doctrine, but not under U.S. law.\n\nIf your marriage occurred outside the United States, you need to apply for an marriage license within the United States as well in order for your legally recognized by the Federal and State governments.

You should contact INS for specifics on how to do that. Or you could even ask a local court cler, for a start. It's good that you are being honest and that you are looking for the proper way to become legal. Congrats on your wedding!
