Hi all,

I've messaged EEF in their mail system, but I've yet to hear back. I'm trying to fill this out as quickly as possible, so any tips on these questions would be much appreciated!

Does 68.5 class days between Sep '24 and Oct '25 qualify me for a student visa? My class only meets 1x/week.
I believe I am an Independent, pre-consular candidate. Does my resume need to be in French if I'm using English as my application language?
In addition to my resume, do I need to upload a letter stating my employment as une arrete de nomination? Does this letter need to be translated into French?
Do I need to upload my diploma? Does this need to be officially translated into French?
I have received a signed acceptance letter from my school, but now I'm having trouble reducing the file size to be less than 300 kilobytes. Would it be ok for me to upload the letter in sections so that each file size is less than 300 kb?

Everything has to be translated into French. If you are writing it, use Google Translate to translate it, and have a French person proofread everything. A government-certified translator can translate documents for the French government on the Internet. Just Google. Certified French Translation in many languages. Overnight or same-day. Credit cards accepted. And it is not hard or really expensive, but ask. Driver's license, birth certificates. You must do a complete job before sending anything to the French. In the order, they ask for it. They do not like sloppy, incomplete. Take the time to get it right. Or they lose it. Or send you a letter to file without explaining what is wrong or missing. And everything sits on the desk for 90 days before they look at it. All files start at the bottom of the pile. It also makes you look professional and competent to do a good job.
