Interview at Paris Embassy

[latortue 0]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has been scheduled for an interview in Paris, and if so, after how much time and for what visa?

Our case for a CR 1 was just completed at NVC and I can't seem to find any information regarding how long it should approximately take for it to reach the embassy and for when the Embassy is scheduling interviews these days.

I also heard the NVC may be scheduling appointments now since the switch to appointment post. Any news on if this is true, and how it affects waiting times?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Latortue

Salut,

sorry I missed your post

Paris schedules very quickly, within a week after your case leaves NVC.

You can call DOS and find out the date. Interview letter also comes quickly, within 2 weeks from your case leaving NVC.

You can look at my timeline for estimate

Paris, like most embassies, went Appointment NVC processing Oct. 1. So, the case does not leave NVC until the interview has been scheduled by NVC!

The previous responder had his case complete under Standard NVC processing, just prior to the change.

My embassy also went Appointment NVC processing on Oct. 1. The NVC operators told me today that November's interview scheduling is done, and they did not schedule my case because there were not enough appointment slots! Dept. of State has not been any more helpful (you must wait at least a month after getting case complete, etc). I have to wait again for the December interview scheduling session on or about December 15!

This changeover to Appt. NVC processing has been no end to the headaches! Scheduling of the outstanding standard processing cases is being given priority over the cases waiting at NVC for scheduling. Completed cases are getting backlogged for interview scheduling!

Thanks for the info Chris. Saw your post after leaving a message on the other Interview thread. Your explanation is what I suspected.

Completely agree about the headache. My husband is supposed to start school in mid January in the States and I'm afraid we won't have an interview before then. Would greatly appreciate it if you get any more info!
