(Getting French spouse visa) Can I fly back to the US, cancel my student visa, and reapply for a spouse visa?

Post by Crunchy87 » Fri Aug 25, 2017 9:48 pm

Hello everyone, I moved to France and I currently live with my husband on a student visa, but I can no longer afford to pay for the school. I understand that once I choose to stop attending classes, my visa would no longer be valid, and I would therefore be considered illegal.

What I would like to do is fly back to the US, cancel the school and visa, reapply for a spouse visa, and then fly back to France with the new spouse visa.

However, I feel that this could be difficult because a long stay visa can be renewed to a change of status to a Vie Privee et Familiale visa two months before the student visa would expire, without leaving the country.

In short, because my visa can be renewed with a change of status to Vie Privee et Familiale upon renewal, The French consulate back in the US could be hesitant to give me the spouse visa.

My student visa expires on 5/27/2018, and I absolutely cannot afford to continue attending and paying for school until then.

In short, would it definitely be possible for me to cancel my current visa and re apply for the spouse visa, despite the fact that my visa Is renewable with a status change two months before it expires?

I would really appreciate some help, thank you all!

What is your husband's nationality?
