What documents are required for a student visa to France at the consulate in Washington D.C.?
I will be traveling to France on an extended student visa. Since the French government now requires this process through their Campus France website, I already registered with them and have been approved to get a visa. I have made an appointment at the consulate general in Washington D.C. and I am wondering if anyone knows what paperwork they ask of you when you go in person. For example, I know that documented approval from Campus France as well as a passport are mandatory. I also know that they will ask for other things such as proof of enrollment in a university and proof of health insurance... what else will they ask of me? Please answer only if you have recently received a Student Visa to France. Thank you in advance!

Read this http://bella-ingenue.livejournal.com/93310.html she applied last June then review this What documentation do I need to get a visa? A Passport The passport must be valid for the entire period of validity of the visa. Proof of enrollment The following documents will be accepted as proof: An offer of preliminary admission A statement of pre-registration in a public or private institution of higher education. The document must specify the level of study and the student's subject. If the institution is private, the statement must indicate the number of course hours and state that registration fees have been been paid in full. Proof of financial resources Each French embassy sets the level of financial resources to be demonstrated by prospective students from that country. The amount is on the order of 3,000 francs for each month to be spent in France. Students receiving scholarship grants must produce a statement indicating the amount and duration of their grant on the letterhead of the granting organization. If the required resources are guaranteed by an individual residing in France the student must produce a signed statement of financial responsibility, a photocopy of the national identity card of the guarantor, and proof of the guarantor's own financial resources (such as the guarantor's three most recent pay stubs and most recent tax return). If the resources come from abroad, the student must demonstrate that a bank account has been opened into which the necessary funds will be deposited and produce a promise of payment, translated into French and bearing the authenticated signature of the individual responsible for making the payments, or a statement of payment of funds from the authorities of the student's country of origin. Proof of insurance coverage Proof of insurance must be provided by students over 28 who are nationals of a country that does not have a reciprocity agreement with France or who are enrolled in an institution that is not recognized by the French government to participate in the student health insurance plan. Parental authorization Minors (individuals under 18 years of age) must furnish proof of consent by the person or persons having parental authority. Required vaccinations In some cases, the consulate may require proof of vaccination (e.g., against yellow fever, cholera…) before a visa will be issued.
