Immigration: Moroccan Woman Married to a Frenchman Endures Ordeal

A 29-year-old Moroccan woman, who married a French citizen in Morocco on May 7, 2024, had been waiting since July 23, 2025, for a decision on her residence permit renewal from the Bouches-du-Rhône prefecture. The delay put her right to remain and work in a precarious position. After she petitioned the Marseille administrative court on October 7, the judge suspended the implied refusal to renew her permit. The court ordered the prefecture to issue her a temporary residence permit allowing her to work within seven days and reconsider her case within a month.
