White knights to the rescue...
Just a brief update. We are near Epinay in the Champagne region.
With our visas, several "White Knights" have come galloping to our assistance.
"White Knight" Christian, our good friend from Charbuy, has been in touch with the Mairie who have themselves been able to get the form and information from the Préfecture.
"White Knight" Corinne from the Mairie has been very good.
We must provide more information than the Préfecture had told us when we visited them (birth, marriage certificates with French translations) and financial information.
"White Knight" Steve, our son in law, kindly got together our documents and sent them over. This was a lot of work.
"White Knight" Christian is very kindly translating the documents.
We are printing and copying lots of other material for our dossier.
As soon as we can, we will rent a car and go to Charbuy to submit everything.
A very big "Thank you" to all our "white knights in shining armour"!
Best regards,
Dave and Penny.
Herman: On behalf of all the blog followers (if I may), I would like to thank the 'White Knights' too. I would hate to have this blog shortened and miss out on a realtime reality show. Bon Voyage Anja and Crew. (08/24/11)
