Congratulations on having so many subscribers! I do have a question. As I mentioned in a comment to another video of yours, I’ve been married to a 🇫🇷 guy forever, now, 39 years. We’ve always lived in the US, but go back and forth. Now, at retirement age, we’d like to stay there longer because my SIL is much older & has no children/spouse. I don’t really want to go through a huge process with this. I could pass the A1 exam, but does a long-term spouse have to go through multiple years of visa issues, medical exams, etc? It was so easy for my husband to become a U.S. citizen and he only applied recently because he was lazy & had a green card.

Bonjour ! I am not a visa expert at all, but as the spouse of a French national, it's really not that difficult to get your first visa. You apply for it in the States, you need a few docs, and I got mine within 10 days. That being said, you could also look into getting French citizenship at this point if you meet their criteria. Here's an official site that may be helpful to you. It has a questionnaire and lists the requirements. You may need a visa at first before applying, and you will have to demonstrate proficiency with the language, but anyway, take a look! Hope it helps :-) www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F2726?lang=en
