Hi everybody,

I got my interview at the US embassy in Paris last thursday so it's been a week today. Is it the normal amount of time to wait for the visa after the interview ?

We are so close and even the interview went good (in my opinion) I would be so upset and dispointed if I would fail so close...

I guess I just need some reassurance...

Thank you...

1-2 weeks is normal; many embassies print the visas in batches every few days, and then it needs to go through their mail room and your country's postal system.

Did they tell you you were approved?

Someone I know who went through Paris last year said it took him 10 days to get the visa. So hang in there. And remember that July 4 is a holiday so the embassy won't work on Monday.

Have patience!! And let us know as my fiancee will do her interview soon there.

My husband had his interview at the Paris embassy last Tuesday. The embassy printed the visa Friday (3 days), shipped it Monday (6 days), and he received it Wednesday (8 days). From my experience reading though almost all the French timelines, you should get your visa within 10 days of the interview. Since Monday is a holiday, I hope the embassy sends it before the week is over... good luck!

From what I've seen, it looks like there is a thread in printing the visas at Paris.

It seems they always print the visas on Fridays and ship it right away. If you're lucky you can get it at the end of the week you got the interview (exemple : interview on wednesday, printed on friday, received on saturday) that's what happened to me.

If for some reason they couldn't print your visa the friday after your interview my guess is they are gonna print it the following friday, in your case tomorrow ( July 1st) and you could get it saturday 2nd or sometime monday 4th or or tuesday 5th.

July 4th doesn't matter much because the chronopost people will work.

Keep us updated when you get it. I hope it happens soon.

Good luck on your journey
