A tip when dealing with embassies, check online if you can sort out the problem without having to go all the way there and wait for hours. There are many people who wait all day to be seen only to be told they could have called, emailed or printed off a form online & sent it in the post. Save yourself some bother!

It probably wouldn't hurt to add a link to the CAF : https://www.caf.fr/wps/portal

Lots of foreigners(mostly students) don't realize that they can get government assistance for lodging if they haven't generated a lot of revenue in the previous 2 years. Certainly useful for future students, or parents who have children that are moving out. I know this saved me when I started school in France!

Just wanted to give a SHOUT-OUT to Bevdeforges for all the links & the great help in general. She's a wealth of up-to-date, correct information and I'm happy to say that she's helped me with my settling into France.

Had some complications with my visa & I was worried about my pregnancy but thanks to her, I'm right on track now - settled in with visa, medical benefits, & registered with OFII. I'm now 6 months pregnant and all my bases are covered and the stress relieved.

France can get very complicated so please don't hesitate to take her advice!! She's the expert!!

Thanks Bev :-)
