The situation and related problems of family reunion immigrants in France

I. Conditions for family reunion of French immigrants Family reunion stipulated by law allows foreigners living in France to reunite their family members in France and live a family life. Therefore, the family members involved in the family reunion law refer to spouses and minor children. However, under certain conditions, parents can also obtain the right of abode in France because their children live in France, which is often granted as "visiting relatives and friends". As long as children have enough income, they must also have social insurance.

1, spouse

Spouse refers to the husband or wife who meets the requirements of French immigration and goes through the formal marriage formalities. The law does not recognize a family that has not gone through the formal marriage formalities, but has been registered in the relevant civil affairs or registered for marriage and lives together. This point should be highly valued. What French immigrants need to pay attention to is that French law prohibits polygamy. Therefore, foreigners who already have wives living in France can never apply for another wife to go to France. You will lose your right of abode.

2. Children

In France, foreigners can apply for family reunion, and their children come to live in France and belong to minor children. According to French law, it refers to children over 65438 and under +08.

Note that this age requirement refers to the age of the child when the foreigner submits the application materials for family reunion, not the age of the child after arriving in France. For example, if a foreigner submits the application materials one week before the child reaches the age of 18, after eight months of examination and approval, the child has already arrived in France, and he is over the age of 18. This phenomenon is allowed.

Second, the French family reunion immigration related issues

1, so the child must be biological?

According to French immigration law, children are not necessarily biological, as long as there is a legal parent-child relationship. Therefore, children can be biological or adopted. If it is not biological, you need to submit various legal materials to prove it. France * intervened in the investigation. However, foster children and children who are responsible for their livelihood cannot be counted as children of foreigners in law and cannot enter the scope of family reunion stipulated by French immigrants.

2. Do children whose parents are divorced have the right to family reunion?

According to the law, children born to foreigners in France and their ex-husbands or ex-wives can also enjoy the right to family reunion. But there are conditions here: that is, his ex-husband or ex-wife has died, or his ex-husband or ex-wife has been deprived of parental rights. In addition, if foreigners in France are granted parental rights by foreign judicial organs, they can also go through the formalities of family reunion with the written consent of the other parents for their children to go to France.

In the case of polygamy, foreigners in France can only deal with the reunion of their children with a formal spouse.

Third, the principle of partial family reunion.

The application for family reunification shall include all the spouses and minor children mentioned above. In other words, you can only apply for family reunion at a time, and you cannot apply for one person at a time. This is a principle, commonly known as the one-time family reunion principle. However, under certain conditions, some families will be allowed to reunite, mainly considering the interests of children: for example, children can't adapt to the French climate, they can't apply to come to France at one time for medical treatment in the local area, or they can't come until they have completed a study cycle, or the applicant's house is not big enough to accommodate all family members at one time. These reasons must be stated in writing in advance when applying for family reunion.
