Travel with Récépissé for Carte de Séjour
My wife (Canadian) received a récépissé for her first carte de séjour a couple of days ago. The good news is that our appointment is in one month! But they also told us at the préfecture we are not allowed to travel while waiting for the CdS!
We have a trip booked to North America for the week before our appointment. Do you think there is any chance we'll run into problems at the border?
Fortunately we first entered the Schengen zone in early August, so my wife will have stayed for less than 90 days by the time of our trip. Also, I am EU citizen and we will travel with our marriage certificate.
Still, I am wondering. The lady at the préfecture (who was understanding) thought that if we show our récépissé at the border, or get a new entry stamp in France, we'd have to start the whole CdS process over again...
