Where in France to do K1 VISA

[NathanStephanieJ 10]

Evening everyone!

 

We are about done with the K1 application but came across a question that stumped us. It asked which US embassy/consulate my French fiancé will be getting his visa. He is closer to the Rennes location, but we were told only certain ones might do the K1. I cannot find a list to say which one we need to list, but I'm guessing it would probably be Paris. Does anyone happen to know where in France he will have to get the visa, interview and etc?

Thank you! We were afraid of that but at least we can better prepare

You're welcome.  Once he's here, you can voluntarily visit Paris, Texas.   

 

Be sure to update your VJ timeline -- the country currently says "Armenia."

At least France is fairly small, so nowhere is too far from Paris. Pity those that live in bigger countries and have to pay for flights and hotels i.e. people who live in Vancouver and have to get to Montreal, or those that live in Perth and have to fly to Sydney, etc!

I mean, France is the largest country in Western Europe, twice as large the UK and bigger than Germany. But of course, pales in comparison with US, Canada, Russia, Australia as you pointed out The good point is, France is well connected by rail so should be fairly affordable and quick to travel.

Paris is seven hours away by car. He would either would have to book a flight or he would have to get a hotel, if not both. While France is small compared to other countries, a trip like that isn’t a day thing and being in Paris probably comes with more expenses as it is. It would be a lot nicer if there was another embassy that could do the K1😭

I've been to Paris and back in a day, from Rennes, on the TGV.  Much easier than driving.  Probably not possible in a day with the medical exam, but driving is making it harder than it has to be.
