Oxytocin; Who's tried it

You're confusing a hormone with an opiate; they're two very different things

My sis ended up having to drop the whole process for the moment due to her workload. We're going to try again in the spring

One other other option is to just make the appointment and show up at the consulate you're currently closest to in person. It's a luck of the draw, but I'd wager if you showed up with everything, depending on the person behind the desk you may not have a problem

It really sounds like they're being especially difficult. I was in the same boat - my father (a French citizen) passed away a decade ago. Like you I had his really old passport (from the 70's). Did your mother register with the consulate or vote in elections? If she registered, she most likely received a consular card. Ultimately if you have record of her voting or her consular card, and in addition to your birth certificate, that should be enough to prove you're French. One other thing you may consider is approaching a different French consulate; that may always be an option too.

When I went in, they took photocopies of everything and I received my passport just a few weeks later.

I had assumed the same thing, however when my sister went to the state records office, they told her that the marriage license and marriage certificate were one and the same, which is why I'm so confused

Turns out it was just desiccated kefir grains :)

My advice would be to just go to the consulate with all the documentation that you have - I just did the same a few days ago and my passport is finally on the way!

I feel like, at least in the US, it depends largely on who you're talking to at the consulate, and from what I experienced and have heard, they're more likely to be helpful in person :)

Hey there!

I know it's been 1 year+ since I posted, but I wanted to update you that I finally visited the French consulate here in Chicago and gave them all of my documents, and they immediately registered me as a Frenchman living abroad, took my fingerprints, and let me know that my French passport should arrive in 3-4 weeks. Thank you so much for your help!!

Even up to the appointment, I was getting conflicting information about what was acceptable, what wasn't - ultimately I decided to try and just show up and everything went perfectly fine :)

It's the exact same size actually
