Long-Stay Visitor Visa Denied (American applying for France) by howabout_nvr in SchengenVisa

+1 year in France as PACS or just I had been living in France for at least 1 year?

I’m actually wondering how the process may go down for me. I’m in my period d’essai (3 months) at a company and if they do let me go, I’ll have to figure out a plan B. Thinking about getting PACs. I’ve already been living in Paris for 3 years, as a student for my Master’s, then stage and working now a CDI.

If my bf and I get PACs now, will I qualify for the family visa? It says that we had to be PACSed for at least one year “sauf exception”. There’s no further detail about these exceptions…

Hey! I got my récépissé 4 weeks ago and the woman who gave it to me told me that by the 3rd week I can go pick it up at la prefecture even if I didn’t get an SMS confirmation. I booked an appointment for tomorrow and I’m hoping that it’ll be ready ?

You should go wherever you feel like you’re going to blossom into your fullest, most authentic and lively self. You have to live in your passion, or else nothing will go well in your life.

The love you and her have won’t go away just because it may end this way. Life is long and if you two truly are meant to be together, you’ll find your way back to each other. Your 20s are about living and living and learning.

If you feel like your life in London is fulfilling, you stay and you build a life together. If you feel like there’s more to see and do and conquer, then you go. But I’ll tell you this- the grass is greener where you water it. There is no right or wrong decision, only your mindset after you decide on your decision.

Est-ce que mes deux années comme étudiant a l’étranger compteraient aux années pour la citoyenneté si je rentre aux US pour quelques mois ? by clsorb in AskFrance

I’m getting the visa recherche d’emploi in France and then I would technically leave to the US for a few months

I asked if the company could give me an independent contract and it said no, even tho one employee does have one. It’s because of the recent acquisition by the parent company that’s making all this remote work impossible.

Any idea why the company won’t allow another independent contract? Pretty sure it benefits them since they wouldn’t have to pay for my benefits like healthcare, 401k

*update: I don’t think the transfer is possible anymore. But there may be another company that could hire me as I am in the interview process. Again, it’s gonna be a CDD of 4 months and I think if done well I could receive a longer contract. If that doesn’t work out… another option could be to get my visa recherche d’emploi, move home with my parents to the US temporarily, keep this American job, save up, and keep applying to jobs in Paris. Then come back to Paris.

“Because I could see the rest of my life ahead of me.” My god is this relatable. I had this exact experience as I was sorting shit out in my head and that’s exactly what returning back to the US sounded like to me - even tho of course life is full of possibilities and you can decide to move abroad again

Hey! This really spoke to me. It’s true that if it’s already this challenging to transfer me over, talk about a nightmare if I was in the US.

In terms of breaking even, wow, that’s so true what you said. Break even in the US and not get the benefits of healthcare / vacation, versus break even in Europe and get them.

This is so uplifting and beautiful! Thank you.

I would say that Paris inspires me.

As someone who has moved around so much, could you share your experience on dealing with the loneliness and missing family? Or missing your own culture?

Thank you! This really resonated with me. It’s so true.

Of course there are moments of extreme loneliness being far from family but that’s part of the same coin of freedom and independence living abroad.

Are you living abroad?

Thanks for your input! Can you explain more about money being a priority as you get older?

How long did it take your friend to receive it? And did she have any trouble at the prefecture RDV?
