Permanent residence card L Processing times

fabowuapp

Is there any forum page that I can find the processing times of other members when they applied for card L?

My husband applied for card L on September 3, 2023 but we have not received any information about it. We called immigration this week () and they said there is no decision yet and we should call the commune.

I heard that decisions are made by 5 months else it is given. Is that still the case?

Does anyone has an experience to share?

Update on my husband's situation

- September 3, 2023 : Card L application

- March 27, 2024 : He received an email from the commune to come and pay for the card itself.

- March 28, 2024 : He went to the commune. He paid 24 euros and is waiting for the code to be sent via post.

I will inform you guys when he picks up the card itself.

Thanks for your suggestions.


Is it true that card L is valid for 10 years now? He seem to have seen that at the commune.

@fabowuapp

He had the physical card this week. It is valid for 10 years. It took about 8 months from application to obtaining the physical card.

I received approval exactly on completion of 5 months.

  • Received notice to pay for new card just under 4 months later: 05 June 2024
