I have recently discovered your vlog. As I am in lockdown by myself (with my greyhound Gustav Klimt), my mental health is helped tremendously by your vlog. I get to transport myself to the streets of Paris and experience a moment in France. Thank you so much! Best wishes with your passport.
I am so pleased to hear that you value your therapy time and having the time for some self reflection . As a therapist myself I am always grateful to hear people explain how therapy can improve their mental and physical wellbeing and for you it has done just that. I hope you get your french visa as I love watching your vlogs around Paris and seeing the city though your eyes.
Good luck Jay! You’ve accomplished so much to stay. The announcement at the Metro about track closures brought me right back and made it feel like I was there. So weird what triggers those types of memories.
Just went to DMV to get my REAL ID done which you can do now instead of a regular driver license. They don't have appt.'s available so you have to go stand in line, ugh. After an hour in line I got in and then did about 30 min. of paper work, eye test, thumb print, photo and them scanning all my documents. So, in about 2 weeks I will get it and then that will be used to board any flights. I also was able to add Veteran on it so now it can also be used for military ID. A pain to go through all the paper work but worth it in the end. Good luck with your's!
Don't write letter of intent, for many reasons I won't explain here. Only could cause problems and won't be a gamechanger for the positive response you seek. I used your "Epinettes" and 17eme video tours to complement my more detailed research to buy a studio in that arrondisment (final act signed yesterday!) so you are also promoting real estate sector in Paris.
Evening Jay looked forward to this vid stuck in hospital after second big c op all good and even better when im awake and watching your vids thy help me so much and always put a smile on my face
Sending you good energy 🙏🤞👍 I hope you’ll mentioned your support of local small businesses during the pandemics. I personally can’t wait to stop by the cafes and places you’ve spotlighted on my very next trip back!
Again thank you about the night Paris footage, be grateful you are not requesting a visa from a country that requires everything to be notarized by a lawyer and stamped at a police station, Yes ....some countries make it really difficult and expensive to go through the renewal process. Vive la France!!!
I do miss human contact. My poor husband is my only love contact most days! Good luck getting all the paperwork together. My husband also has a similar visa, but his is because he has a PhD and more than 10 years in his field...oh, and that a French company pays him a high enough salary! 🤣 I get to stay because I’m married to him.
OH shit, reminding me of your SF video made me realize that was the first video I watched of yours. Watched it prepping for my student visa app in 2018. Idk if I'll make my way back to France anytime soon, but really enjoy your content.
Good Luck with the Visa! I always wondered whether you did therapy in English or French... I guess with an Irish therapist, it’s English. When you are on a VISA do you get any healthcare benefits? I’ve lived abroad but at most a year and my type of visa didn’t really permit for that. So the pharmacy was often where I went. I paid for a doctor once in the UK. All medical, but it’s good to know what’s available out there! Take care! 🤗🥰
Bonne chance!!! ...and, follow your intuition re the letter of intent. My best guess (haha..that’s encouraging!), is that either way you decide, will be beneficial, in the final count...(just my own experience (hindsight), talking).🌞
MY KIDS (grandson races karts) in europe. they are meeting today with the German Consulate to get visa for their 7 months stay they are working on duel citenzenship for italy i thin - not an easy process. good luck!
Kikou Jay, ça gaze? Cool video! Ahhh the French bureaucracy....again, I don't miss it, I wouldn't have the patience for that anymore....but still I want to move to Paris....oui je suis fou, je sais lolol There's a lot to prepare to renew a visa, bon courage! Good luck à la préfecture Jay!!! Je t'envoie de bonnes vibrations! Bonne fin de journée! A plus, mec!
i watch these intermittently (hi again jay!) and I know your old computer and the music u used are gone, but would u consider re-finding/using the one song with the tiny voice that sings in French, and is very upbeat? 😂
You may be referring to "Dyalla" e.g. th-cam.com/video/M2VRn8W7KGo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Dyalla check out her channel here: th-cam.com/users/Dyallavideos
If there was war between France and America ,which country would you pick , bad question I know , I should work for the french consulate, always watch your work , great stuff take care .
You helped us a lot when went to Paris, the hardes't part of getting a metro card was getting bloody photos for the card!!! Where are the photomatons??? Cash only??? Where do I find thet??? LOL
2019 Paris trip, Métro clerk suggested we go to office supply store and make copy of our passport photos to be used on our cart orange pass etc. This happened when we noticed a bunch of photo booths out-of-order. Came across Office Depot with self-serve copy machine, cost of 0,35 € (way cheaper then 4€). They also had passport photo station onsite. So good luck!
You might benefit if you don't mention your desire to have a dual nationality. Most countries have this thing about dual nationality, why would you need a reserve nationality? Other than doing shady things.
@@JaySwanson our daughter, after college graduation, 2002, went to work in London for 6 weeks, the company she worked for paid for her work permit, she promised to return and take her 42 boxes stored in our home. Met a British man, fell in LOVE, married four years later, obtained dual citizenship, she files taxes in the U.S., and we STILL have the 42 boxes. Farmland Minnesota (personally I think she didn't want to live on the farm).
Good luck with the lovely French Government. Are there immigration lawyers that could help you? Maybe have your landlady can give you a lease for $1 E a year? Get your therapy, just like your running, clears the mind. Be well and safe

Your parting conversation with the other Van Moof rider was just fantastic for you Jay! Can clearly see it brought you joy.

In response to tomorrows question, this is the type of 20 minute + vlog that remains interesting. Well done.
Jay Do you have in there how your followers supported coffee shops?
Good luck with your appointment, Jay.

Good luck Jay! 💕 from Australie! 🇦🇺 ☀️
Bon chance! Love the boat card for Dad. Hallmark? Lol. I'm so happy after 58 hours of NO electricity in Dallas. Still no water 😕
Best of luck at your visa renewal. I will be praying for the best possible result.

Luckily got some similar paperwork done right before the pandemic -- now don't have to do it for ten years. Good luck!
Congratulations!
Also you helped coffee shops during the pandemic! Best of luck Jay!

Great vlog Jay! Took me away while driving in to work (read:ugh it’s not Friday). I wish you luck on your visa.

Had to cancel my 2weeks in France last Dec. Lost my AIRBNB money, but hopefully coming this year
I recently renewed mine, still waiting for SMS to receiev the card 😂
nice vlog!!
bonne chance 4 Ameri-france!
How long does it take to edit your dailies and what point of your day/evening do you make time to do so?
Am I the only one probably more nervous about Jay getting his visa then he is?
Go Cougars!
👍👍
You might benefit if you don't mention your desire to have a dual nationality. Most countries have this thing about dual nationality, why would you need a reserve nationality? Other than doing shady things.
Nah, people do it all the time - it's normal. I probably won't bring it up in my visa meeting, but it's a very common goal and end result.
In France we find it normal, if you chose to live with us, to ask for citizenship after several years
Agree 100% my husband is French. He agrees as well but everyone has to do what they feel best.

Oh Oh bythe way...here we pronounce Vsan Moof the Dutch way ..... try saying FUN MOOR F. say it fast and you will be correct.
Good luck with dealing with the second biggest threat to humanity in 2021, after COVID, aka French administration.
do something with your anxiety Jay
French-American

What's with you and ATMs? lol
Americanich :D
Amerifran???
Is the French citizenship process faster and easier if you have a French attorney representing you?
Why don't you marry a French woman.
Good luck!
