Hello all,
I've been always wondering if there are any strategies out there to help a proudly French born person eventually become legal in France or the EU.
Sadly, I just discovered I was born on a US Military base in France, apparently there is no 'French' record of me being born there, but I might have a Baptismal record there.
I know it is very difficult to simply immigrate there based on my current unfortunate US citizenship, however, my US Passport specifically says I was born in 'France'- not the US.
20 years ago (before Fr. joined the EU) I might have had some Rights in France, but what chances might I really have nowadays?
I am getting ready to write to the French region I was born in once again, but this time showing a copy of birth record (some written in French, some in English - proving I was born there) but what different questions should I ask?
I would greatly appreciate anyone's kind advice. But please note: I was finally working legally for one month in nearby Germany but it was stopped due to another (insurmountable?) new Visa problem. Therefore I still have very limited funds and cannot yet really afford an Immigration Attorney (nor are there any such Attorneys near where I live anyway).
Looking forward to any kind advice. Best Regards!
