...Well in theory it is!
BUT, today I opened the mailbox, my heart a-flutter because there was a medium-sized brown envelope in the box with MY NAME ON IT.
I ran up the stairs, taking three at a time in hopes of getting home quicker -- never once tripping thank you very much -- because the sender was the Mayor of Antibes and the official stamp on the back read "service des etrangers" (immigrant services)!!!!
Well, long story short, I have received an OFFICIAL NOTICE that my carte de sejour is ready and waiting in the mayor's office!! All I need is a few free minutes during the day to come collect it along with the proper identification.
Oh this is super, SUPER news!
The card is sort of like a form of identification in the state of France for foreigners. It will allow me to FINALLY collect the CAF assistance on half of my rent, and I'm now free to fly in and out of the country as I wish during the next six months.
Wednesday morning here I come, mayor's office!!!!
...13 DAYS UNTIL CALIFORNIA!
