Immigration laws don't prevent an university to write a letter ! They
posted an add, and when one bother to answer, to communicate his curriculum
vitae, and has three professors write letters of recommendation, in hand
writting as it is the rule in France,  the most elementary correctness
demands they answer something. Beside, prior to postulating, I exchanged
several E-mails, communicated my background, was told that there was no
problem with nationality, and was "encouraged" to apply. Otherwise, I
wouldn't have asked for letters of recommendation. A shame!

Best,
Georges.
