In an unexpected turn of events we seemed to have received a text from the Prefecture to say our cartes de séjours are available to collect. This was even before the current ones expire!
On looking more closely, the text was from last year………we had been looking it up to check the date we received it in an attempt to second guess what might happen this year! On hearing an alert for another completely different sender we got all excited and got it wrong…..
So, it’s back to the waiting game………
Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteSadly it was a false alarm!
DeleteThere’s no cause for celebration just yet!
There I was starting to get all excited for you but no .... anyway, I hope the Tech Gods will be on your side for once and you WILL get that text very very soon!
ReplyDeletePatience is a virtue; I hope you are feeling very virtuous as you wait...😏
ReplyDeleteHow many years until you can get a permanent status?
ReplyDeleteWe will never be permanent.
DeleteAfter five one year visas we should then get a ten year visa. We are waiting for number four so in two years' time we should have a longer breathing space.
None of this was necessary before Britain left the EU, when we had the right to live here permanently if we wished.
