Frequently Asked Questions
In which language can I work with Attorney VERNIER?
In French and English.
Can I work with Attorney VERNIER 100% remotely?
Yes, I work remotely with most of my clients, no matter where you are. If you'd prefer to meet in person, you're welcome to come see me at my office; just be sure to schedule your appointment in advance.
How does the first interaction with you go?
I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation (by phone or video call) to understand your situation, answer your initial questions, and let you know if I’m the best person to help you. After our conversation, I’ll send you a summary email outlining the strategy I recommend to resolve your issue, along with a flat fee if you’d like me to handle the entire process for you.
Does this first date commit me to anything?
No, this first meeting is completely free and there's no obligation. It's simply a way for you to understand your various options.
Is 20 minutes enough to solve my problem?
Yes. After conducting hundreds of consultations, I know exactly what questions to ask to quickly identify your needs and offer you a tailored solution right from our first conversation.
What documents do I need to prepare before our conversation?
No documents are required for this initial consultation (except, if applicable, a denial notice). A clear summary of your situation (current status, steps already taken, upcoming deadlines) is sufficient to make an initial, useful assessment.
I'm not sure which visa or residence permit to apply for: can you help me choose the most appropriate option?
Yes, that's actually the first step in my consultation process: I analyze your personal and professional situation to determine the best approach for your project.
I'm still living abroad—can you help me before I arrive in France?
Yes. I assist both people who are still abroad and are preparing to apply for a visa, and those who have already settled in France with the next steps in their process.
My prefecture hasn't responded to me for several months: what can I do?
This is a common situation, and I make it a priority: follow-up, formal notice, and legal action if necessary—I do everything possible to resolve your situation quickly. If there is no possible solution at the moment, I will let you know how long you should wait before taking any action.
Can I obtain French citizenship based on my background?
It depends on your circumstances (length of residence, marriage, parent-child relationship, etc.). I’ll provide a detailed assessment of your eligibility and guide you toward the most appropriate procedure: based on residence, marriage, or parent-child relationship.
How much does your coaching cost?
My fees are set as a flat rate or all-inclusive fee, determined in advance and before any work begins, based on the nature, urgency, and complexity of your case. At the end of our first meeting, I will provide you with the exact cost of the entire process if you would like me to handle it.
Will I be kept informed of the status of my case?
Yes, personalized and regular follow-up is an integral part of my support, ensuring that you always have a clear understanding of the status of your case. I am committed to responding to you within 48 business hours.
Do you also provide assistance in emergency situations (such as a visa or residence permit about to expire, or the suspension of your employment contract...)?
Yes, emergency situations—such as being stuck at the prefecture or a permit about to expire—are handled on a priority basis.
Do you have a question that isn't listed here, or would you like some initial advice about your situation?
