Exchange Student In France!!?
I am VERY interested in going to France for one year as an exchange student. Currently I am 12 - i know that is to young, but I am willing to wait. I have been learning French for almost 5 years now, but I have only just started to LOVE it. I was thinking of either going with : WEP - http://wep.org.au/info/study-abroad-france AFX -http://www.australia-france-exchange.com/index.php/programs-overview/under-18-years-old/one-way-exchange/one-way-year-program/ or EF -http://www.ef-australia.com.au/highschool/destinations/france/exchange-year-in-france/ Has anyone traveled through these agencies? I am prepared for being homesick, my dad said I could get a laptop to Skype my family. Money isn't a issue. I am worried that I will have to repeat a year and leave all of my friends behind. What did you have to do? Thank you so much!! xx

Exchange student to france?
Hello, i'm in MN and i already decided with my whole family that i'm going to be a exchange student to go to france for my junior year (I go in freshman in august) i have one year studying french, and i already know spanish, Ok..so i yet don't know what program is the best to go to france with, any ideas? has anyone been an exchange student from the us (to any country, or to france) what program did you go with, how was it? also, are there any things i should be aware of about france? do i get credits and especial classes like here in the united states there in paris (like advanced math classes and stuff?) i mean, i used to live in colombia and we didnt get any of that everybody got the same classes (i'm worried i'll get caught up in school work) i know is 2 years away but i want to have it all ready before i begin to save... since is so much money!

Hi, France is great - I went there an exchange student myself, but trust me: the school system is nothing like at home. So you might just as well forget about getting credits, points, degrees or what not. Now what I would recommend, especially because you still have some time: go on www.best-student-exchange.com, that is an open portal for student exchange where I also found my host families. There are plenty of families from France: why don't you contact one of them and arrange like a 2 or 3 weeks exchange, with one or two or even three families this summer or for next summer, that way you improve your French before starting school, you can check out the country and perhaps on of the families is your preferred family and you can arrange a full-year-exchange with them? For international student exchange for high school students this is the best of all student exchange programs, because it only cost like not even 200$

I guess it depends what you are looking for. Are you American? If you want a really different experience I would say don't go to England. You won't feel like you are really branching out and experiencing a different culture if you go to England. I have been to England, France, and Sweden and I would say Sweden would be the more "different" from America. People in France don't tend to be very friendly to Americans either. I would personally go with Sweden but it depends on what you are looking for. England probably has the better social life/nightlife out of the three.

My wife is in the U.S. on a student visa from france, we got married and have filed our I-130, can she stay?
My wife is in the U.S. on a student visa from france, we got married and have filed our I-130, can she stay?
her visa runs out in may, and it will take longer then this we are pretty sure, so she is faced with having to fly back to france and then fly back once she gets the approval... this is expensive and we don't want to have to do that. Can she legally stay here while it is processed? I am a naturally born U.S. Citizen. Thank you whoever can answer this!

Why on Earth didn't you file the full change of status packet? (I-130, I-485, I-765, I-834 and G-325A). You should have filed EVERYTHING at the same time, in the same envelope. If you'd done that she'd be allowed to stay and work while everything was being processed. Did you list her address as being in France? If not, and she has to go back, how are they going to know where to find her for her physical exam and interview? It's too late to file the I-485 now. If she stays she'll be out of status.
