Ah, there's a bit of drama in the office as the French try to get visas to the US for testing in March. Turns out the US has now imposed a need for visas for all the French coming to the US, and it means that they need to get things sorted out in a relatively short period of time. It also culminates with a personal trip to the US Embassy in Paris.Needless to say, we (the Americans) have just come off a wonderful experience in dealing with the french bureaucracy in trying to get our carte de sejour visas (see post below), so it is with a little bit of humor, we find the french going through the same experience.
So far, we think Patrick Emanuel is winning (or losing) the battle of the bureaucracy, so he has asked to make a guest entry into my blog in order to share his experiences with the french and US governments - it should be a hoot.
