Thanks for your reply. I have not as yet been called for interview. I will email again to ask if my dossier has been passed to the SDANF. Looks like I will need a carte de séjour, given the average delay at SDANF. Doh! should have got myself together and applied years ago.

I put in my dossier in Feb 2018 and received the acceptance July 2018 at which point they said the delay was 12-18 months. In December 2019 I emailed them and in January (end of) got the reply "Votre dossiere et en cours d'instruction". What are other peoples experience? Should I start to get active with letter writing? Having been resident and taxpayer for 17 years I will be rather disgruntled to have to apply for a carte de sejour!
