Student Visa/Border control

9 years ago

Hi everyone!
It happens so that I arrive in France 2 weeks before my student visa starts. I got a really nasty lady at the consulate to work on my application, and she made me change the date, despite me showing her my plane tickets. And even made me write a statement that I promise not to enter France before that date. Which is plain ridiculous. And actually I don't evenknow what it means.
I don't feel that 3 weeks is enough for me to settle down, and prepare for school. Besides I planned to travel Europe (including France) with my husband anyways). Why can't I enter France with my US passport as a tourist before my visa starts? Did she put an official ban on me entering France, or was she just trying to intimidate me? What can I do in this situation?
