My dear, work in France as an illegal is worse than UK.

The language barrier, the permit to work etc...

Since you are on government parole, they should make it easier for you and get you a job. Even at that, not that easy.

Life is cool in France, but very expensive than other European countries.

Every other thing will come later...

I don't think France is that much more expensive than other European countries, but maybe I've that opinion because I've always lived in Switzerland. France is still cheaper than UK, but obviously more expensive than Spain, Portugal, Italy. Finding a job here, I think it will depends on which sector you're looking employment in and your qualifications and working permit. Personally I don't think I will ever work in France as I found there salary packages so low :-(. Even though I'm half French, I don't really like French people. I found them quite arrogant and not really welcoming (I've been insulted just because I was wearing high-heels, and at many occasions I heard racist comments....). I find the system, for example social security, to be a real pain in the ass because so many people don't know how to do their jobs and everything takes ages in France! But maybe you will like it! ;-)

@luke4top plz don't be deceived by this fraudulent Agents around,they ll only talk and talk with no action for instance for Schengen visa single entry is one month not three and ensure u don't give them a dine until ur visa is confirmed,I wish u success though and God's favour ll go with u to france.

shocked shocked shocked

Nawa O! unbelievable... haaa heyy
UK almost give my inlaw visa now, they write him today that they want to see him at the embassy and if he's coming he should bring his bank statement, i told u UK is better than France because UK will give u visa base on ur documents,.. he's even happy now because he has what they ask for....

nawa o,, but try write them back and attach copy of your application refusal letter, at least the date the embassy write the refusal letter will prove them wrong. Do not relax on it, keep on pushing it.. if u relax, they will asume they're right and u're running away because they are right. Prove them wrong my brother. I love proving them wrong to see the end of the issue O! I have a letter of apology from the British High Commission few years ago for wrong decision and error from them. So, try prove them wrong..

How do they tel you that your appeal is already over 2 month? Is it by email or post?
Re: Travelling To France by Naijalastborn(m): 8:32am On Jan 15, 2013
