    Hi--
    I have read some of the posts about Non-EU citizens married to EU citizens that wish to live and work in the EU, but I have a slightly different twist to the regular questions.

    My French-citizen husband and I currently live in the US. I have received a funding to do research in France, but my husband is still looking for a job. So, I may have to relocate and start working in France before he does.

    Will this be possible? Should I come on a long-sejour visa and change it once he arrives and "activates" his status by getting a job?

    What happens if he gets a job in a non-EU country (Switzerland), (which is actually a very likely prospect)? Can I still legally work in France?

    Please help so that we can plan our move to France in the easiest way for everone! Thank you!

    Re: US Citizen to work in France before EU citizen arrives..

    If you are planning to move to France then you will be subject to French National Immigration Laws and not EU Rules.

    There could be a possibility of working in France whilst living in Switzeralnd depending on your location. You could even tak residence in one of the French/Switzerland border villages which entitles to towork in France. But you need to ask a qualified French Immigration authority about this prospect!
