At last !

We just got back from the immigration building, my wife and I, where we had an interview with an USA immigration officer to discuss about my green card after our wedding !

We were very neveous and the lawyer did show up one hour late ! But the interview was better than I expected :

She asked each of us about informations about the other : what is his birthday ? Do you know where she work ? and so on. Questions checked by the file she had (the officer). In fact, it seems that after seeing our wedding pictures (she kept all of them !) and our health insurance policy where our names are in it, she just check us on usual questions.

Like said the lawyer : our case was the easiest one he got ;) .

But anyway, it was lots of stress (you never know what the gov can do against you …) and lots of wait time and papers to fill up.

So if your are in the same situation than us (marrying a us citizen) dont waste your time and take immediatly a lawyer : it’s a great help specially to fill up the right forms and in the right time (he was late this morning, but after all our case is done so …)

Anyway, that means I have now the same right than any american citizen (except to vote or be elected i think). It’s a great relief and we can go on now :)

Thanks to all of you who help us (friends, work relationships and so on) for your support !

New website ;-)

Yup ! It happends again !

It seems I search my way for the website …
But you know I have a website since 1995. It changes several times of address, title, format , and so on … and still here ;)

My first one was at the university of Paris (Jussieu) and using an old SPARC 10 as the host ! All written in pure html. And almost no image. It was possible to put your email address without fear of spam or other stupidities.
Now, I’m using Wordpress as the main engine of my website. Several reasons :

  • I was using drupal (which is a wonderful CMS) and in fact, used really only a portion of it.
  • My main content was news and images and links to my projects which are hosted elsewhere
  • Wordpress presents news simply and with a url easy to read and not a serie of numbers !
  • For fun ;)

So, let’s continue this way and see you around.
