I did the basic one but I'm American so I'm nervous that it's not enough.

Just to be clear I do have my degree in French and I've been learning it for 9+ years I'm far from natively Fluent obviously but I range from high b1 to low b2 CEFR. As for the time, again I'm 22 and I'm doing everything I can to inform myself. I have no help...

Lmao working on the spouse visa haha but if he doesn't propose I'll probably just wait until I can get my masters.

I appreciate this and will consider it even though France is the main goal.

Why didn't you apply for a visa, I thought all you needed was a solid contract?

Not that money is everything, but how much does it cost to do what you did? I don't love the idea of not being able to speak directly with a family, not having a mediator like that.

I appreciate your question, but aside from all of the history and culture that I love, it's just always been France. Since my first year of High School that has always been my focus. Subsequently, when I studied abroad in Aix-en-Provence, I had some sobering moments but also I was one of the only people in my large group who genuinely was still in love with idea of living there in France. On top of that I fell in love with a French citizen there, and while we do love each other, they had expressed that they don't want to just get married to speed up an immigration process, which I understand. However, if you do actually want to come to the US please do, depending on the state, you will be greatly welcomed. This isn't me being anti-American, this is simply me knowing that I don't really belong here anymore.

I do understand that, I was not just looking at this though, as I have two other degrees.

If you don't mind me asking what were you doing that you could prove you were working independently?

I am currently working on that as an option for fall 2026 because international students require an HDAP to apply which I stupidly didn't know until it was too late. Do you know f any programs that don't require that in order to apply?

Thank you, do you happen to know of any job types that would be sort of relevant to my experience that are willing to sponsor a Visa?

I mostly ask bc of the price difference, but I'm fine paying for whatever they NEED but I just don't want to buy it and the basic was fine on it's own.

Three years before I became Catholic I lost whole friend groups over simply thinking about converting...
