A procedure lasting more than a year is not normal at all. I do not have enough information to identify where the problem is. If you are getting récépissés, this means that you are dealing with préfecture and not with the website “étrangers en France.” You should have started the procedure by asking for the right to operate your business, “profession libérale” should be with “démarches simplifiées” website. This is the only analysis I can do. Your business is strong, and your earnings comply with the requirements. Furthermore, you have provided new documents to them, so your file is definitely active.

The new government has nothing to do with this. It has not been sworn in yet.

After a Master 2 and a titre de séjour RECE, I submited my dossier to change to Profession Libérale (on August 2023). My business is running from February 2023. I did 25,000 of CA on that year (2023), this year I estimate I’ll do at least 27,000 CA. During the process I’ve been given 4-5 récépissés with permission to do my activity. I’ve buyed an appartment on 2022 and a parking lot on 2024, paid my taxes, my dossier was very solid (I believe), but after 1 year and 2 months waiting for my titre de séjour I’m starting to wonder.

Why the hell they take so long and a decission has not been made? I live in Nice.

Do you think what is going on with the government is affecting me or could affect the delivery of a favorable decision? They asked me recently more URSSAF declarations. I sent them. All good, but still nothing. I’d love to have some advice on this.

Thanks very much.
