Liyan's coming in France

[Sylvain D]

Dear Brotherhood,
It is now official

Liyan got her visa today, and everything is ok for her to come in France, so that we can marry here
Many administrative papers to do, to give, to send.
But in less than 3 months, everything is ok.
Should I say I am very lucky? Most of my friends say that the process can take more than 3 months, up to years if really "difficult".

I will explain about the process for her visa to come in France, in the righteous topic.
I will also upload here more and more news about her coming in france, and her living when she'll be here, with me.

And, of course, I would like to thank all the brotherhood for your advices, your comments too

Sly,

I am very happy for you.  We will want to hear more so keep the information coming.

[Jason B]

Great news, congratulations, keep us all posted, and pickies of the wedding.

[Vince G]

With all the ups and downs you had, it's good to hear you landed on your feet. Best of Luck

[Sylvain D]

Vince, Shaun, Jason, many thanks
As Vince says, many ups and downs, and finally, it is a big up
Liyan is the ONE to make the dream come true, and now, I am waiting for her coming

I promise to update that post and post many pics as soon as possible and to relate her daylife here, when she'll arrive

[Sylvain D]

Mike, in fact, I am more than very happy ^^' I enjoy that, I "scared" the process would take some more months, and that it would be very difficult for Liyan to come in France.
Well... it seems that town hall and french consulate did some very good workjob, together
and that they helped us the best they could do

when Liyan will be here, the "aim" is to introduce her to my parents, my family, and also, my daughter
it should be very good, and as my parents are going in holidays in South of France, we will go there to see them for a while
And anyway, we'll have some admnistrative papers to do again, when she'll arrive
but that should not be a problem, because we have every paper needed

Congrats Frenchie,

I hope Liyan enjoys the best that France can offer her. All the best to you two. You have gone through a LOT.

Great news Sylvain,

I will be in france december 14th this year. La Roche Sur Furon, (spelling may be off a bit) It is her 50th birthday and we are going there as a surprise. She does not know we are coming. Where are you going to be living at, if you don't mind me asking? My sister lives near Geneva Switzerland. Maybe a meeting could be arranged.

I hope that everything is smooth sailing for you and Liyan from now on. Best of luck to both of you.

Félicitations mon ami!!

I am happy to read the news. I know how happy you must feel. I wish you all the best! 

[Sylvain D]

Many thanks again to all of you for all your messages :$
Irishman', as you say, I'm over the moon, feeling more than very happy. All should be ok in less than 10 days, then, she'll be here
If you wish to come and visit Paris, we should be there anyway in end of August till the end of September. Then, we will fly again to Gz to see her family, (one week if possible), then, coming back in France.
In December, we still will be in Paris.
But a meeting somewhere could be a nice idea and I think that we could go with Liyan somewhere, close to Switzerland (Geneva) Even for a week-end

Ted, Liyan's health seems to be very good.
She met a doctor, and he told her everything was fine, she didn't have to worry if she would have one day to expect a baby ^^'
thanks to care

Chong, as you say, I hope too that Liyan can like many things in France, not only my family ^^  As it will be her first trip outside China, anyway, it must be a very beautiful experience to live, for her

[Irishman]

That would be super Sly. Sunny should be here in February and as you know Paris is only a couple of hours away by plane so we definitely should hook up, you are of course welcome to come visit us in Dublin too!
Keep us updated bro, you certainly earned your shot at happiness, so very delighted for you!
