Now it seems that RSI has decided I have to apply for an E121. The UK says I can't have that(too young) and are sending a refusal letter to me and in french. Has anyone else been through this?    Report

Maybe they want the refusal before proceeding, that's how it used to be pre Nov 07 for those not entitled to an E106, you needed a refusal letter first. These sort of situations I thought were supposed to be covered under the 'accident la vie' provisions but Cooperlola is the expert in that field. Bonne chance When everybody is saying the same thing it's usually time to ask if they know what they are saying.    Report

Sorry to hear of your situation.  Bon courage. Healthcare Issues Site "I couldn't sleep very well last night. Some noisy b*ggers going around in automobiles kept me awake." Ken Miles    Report
