Hi cooperlola and thanks for the advice. We may be foolish, but we're keeping a watching brief at the moment. But we feel so desperately sorry for those people who are wondering what on earth will happen to them in January. You're doing a great job and thank you for your efforts. [quote user="cooperlola"] From some of the correspondence which we have received, it does seem to be that the major problem is in conveying the fact that you're not actually an EU national. But there have been some successes so persistence is important. The best thing you can do is to apply for a titre de sejour - even though this too can be fraught with difficulty. But once you have one, your CPAM will have far more problems in refusing you. [/quote]
