Travelling to France!!

[Bibi and Beebti 4]

I'm travelling to Paris for work I'd like to bring my wife (who is Jordanian) along with me. I understand getting her a visa would take two weeks. I also noticed there's an employment requirement, but unfortunately she has not yet been able to find a job. Would my own documents (bank statements etc) suffice ?

thank you in advance !

From French consulate website - "Note that if the worker wishes to move to France with a spouse and/or children, it is imperative that the procedure of "accompanying family member" be started by the employer through the OFII along with the employee’s file."

Does your employer know she's coming too?

If not, she should be able to follow you on a long term visitor visa (no right to work though). Good luck with French bureaucracy, it will be lots of fun!

ETA: the above is if your employer is French...

If your trip is short and is a part of your US employment, then she'll just need a tourist visa and a proof of enough funds (not being employed in the US is OK).
