How to get married in syria as foreigners ? any ideas?

Getting Married with French Guy, how to get the VISA, CDS? plz help me?

• I am engaged to French Guy (I have two nationalities Syrian and Belarussian ) and we can’t apply for marriage yet because he just moved back to France after 8 years living in London. There it was much easier we were visiting each other each two weeks (I am living in Syria now) and there is no problem with Visa to the UK But when he moved to France the night mare had begun, we have all our Documents ready for marriage but he needs to prove that he has some fixed address in Paris at least for one month… Ok, this is not that bad we could wait, but the thing that I already about to terminate my job, I sold my car ,because we decided that I will be moving to France to live with him at the end of Feb , he already registered me in French School there and everything ready BUT French embassy is like very strict in Syria, they have strict regulations not to gave Visas to Young , Single girls and they don’t recognize any engagement or anything expect marriage I already have Valid Schengen Toursim Visa till 24th Feb 2010, but even if I go with it and it will be expired while I am in France how can I stay there? And let’s say I will get other Schengen Visa from other embassy like Italian (its easier than French) and I will have 2 months to stay in France but then ??? when we will apply for marriage and since I am foreigner how long it will take for us to be accepted and to be officially his wife? and once we will apply if it will take long time ,would I have any paper that our documents in the progress and can I come back to my country and take longer visa with this paper? What prefecture or immigration office in France could help me, why I can’t stay with the man of my life and its so difficult, I am so desperate, they told me maybe if we get married in the French consular in Damascus and register our marriage it will be easier, we are trying this option but we didn’t get any answer yet. We are ready for anything , any solution to be together , could anyone tell me any possible solution for me to be at the end of February living in France with my Fiancé? Even if I will need to go back to my country after 2 months to apply for other Visa And when we get married what about CDS? How fast I can get it? To start looking for work? Is there any exceptions? Thanks a lot in advance for your help and sharing with me your ideas

• Answer:

  First of all there is NO way that you will be able to stay in France after your visa expires. If you try a schengen visa with another country in order to be with him the french authorities will know, I would avoid this if I were you. You need to get married in Syria (he comes to you to marry you ) then you will both have to wait and there is no way to speed the process. When you get married he needs to get in touch with the french consular services in Syria (translation *publications des bans in his Mairie *) and you will apply for spouse visa amd wait.. Sorry but no other way..
