For Employment
If you are seeking employment in France it is up to your employer to submit an application to DDTEFP (Ministry of Labour at the regional level) for an employment contract. If the application is accepted, DDTEFP will then forward the file to OFII (French office for immigration and integration) for final approval. Once OFII approval reaches the Consulate, you can schedule an appointment through VFS.
