You'll probably need them translated. You might also be asked to show that you've actually been working as a spartks in the last three years. Are you looking for a job or planning on starting a business? And how good is your French? You probably won't be able to survive on just working for the Brits. Edit: By the way, a more meaningful title thjan just 'Help' might get you a few more useful answers. Albert the InfoGipsy "So welcome to the Citadel where the question is 'Am I?'"    Report
