Re: France Visa Problem
As per my knowledge, they are simply not issuing any visas to pakistanis other than ofcourse to students. Not even PhD students can get visas for their spouses (no matter how much scholarship or money you have) even if you have to live for 4 years.
I don't know why the "love" for pakistanis, but I think its probably due to the crappy repute that we have earned worldwide. Although, I think pakistani students have set a very good example here with their hard work and abide-by-the-rules life here in France.
