Studying France - How long does it take to get a long stay student visa?
My daughter is wanting to study in France beginning in January, 09. The international study person at her University has been of little help and even at times, erroneous information. We have been spinning our wheels to get this done. How long does it take to get a long term Student Visa?

After a visa application is submitted, the consular authority processes it and decides on whether to issue a visa. The consular authority makes his decision as swiftly as possible, the time period will vary depending on possible consultations he must conduct. There is no point in contacting the consular authority while the application is being processed. If the consular authority has not responded to you within two months, you may consider that your visa application has been refused.

The French consulate in Edinburgh/Scotland determines the time to proceed a long stay visa (student visa) at two to three months. The french consulate in New York tells a processing time between one week and two months. So you better check on the website of the French consulate where she has to apply for the visa. A list of all French consulates is attached as first source.
