Arrêté Arrived!!!
I can't believe it! My arrêté arrived today :) My parents stopped by where I was working, and let me open the envelope. I'm so excited because I can now go the the French consulate on Monday with all of my paperwork, and get my visa!
I also got a copy of my long birth certificate in the mail today (see the July 26th entry as to why my current birth certificate isn't good enough).
