Apologies for the double post, but I thought this forum might be more appropriate.  Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer. I am an Irish Citizen and my US Citizen husband just went to the Consulate in NYC to apply for his long-stay visa. They turned him away. Why? Because they said he doesn't NEED one.  How can this be?  * On their very own website, it states that a long-stay visa is needed by the Spouse of an EU Citizen to "settle down in France."  (more than 90 days stay) * On the http://vosdroits.service-public.fr website, amongst the documents to furnish when applying for the CdS "CE - membre de famille - toutes activités professionnelles," it says "les documents qui ont permis l'entrée en France,"  Do they not mean passport AND visa? I don't know what to do -- if we show up at the prefecture to apply for the CdS, with no visa, I am afraid he is going to have to come home and go through this exercise again.
