Hello again,
My husband and I finally made it to the prefecture here in Pau downtown this morning only to be told that because I don't have a work contract in France and I am the EU citizen then my US born husband will need a VISA CONJOINT EUROPEAN.
Is this true?
Can anyone help me/us with this?
We also don't have stamps in our passports as we came in from Italy on a train and therefore there is no proof of when we came into France so they can only see when we entered Europe and that was Sept 30...putting us over the 3 month legal mark.
Is our best bet to go over the border to Spain and make sure our passports are stamped upon reentry (where? how?) so we have a date of entry even though our rental contract shows a start date of January 1, 2010?
SO CONFUSING!!:confused2:
Please, please, please offer up tips/advice asap as we need to make a move and make sure our worst-case-scenario can be avoided (ie: he has to fly back to the US to apply for a long-stay visa)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much,
Beth
