If there is one country in the world were the interpretation of immigration paperwork is literally down to the luck of the draw and interpretation of the people reading it, France is the place!
This post relates to an au pair who moved to France only for her situation to deteriorate and contracts to be ended. The lady in question, who is highly literate in French, was then under the impression she had one week to leave the country although as no official actually told her this she stayed on until September – effectively an illegal alien from mid-April. After returning to the US she is now looking to travel back to France and marry her French boyfriend but there is some debate and confusion as to whether she will regain entry and the paperwork required for marriage in France.
