Hello All, Little update with good news! So the embassy replied and all is good, they reactivated my file and created one for my daughter. Appointment is set via the system for May (she has to finish school anyway until the end of June). Very happy this got solved, we are now preparing all the documents.

Thanks, if nothing happens in a few days I will just do the DS-160 and go ahead

Yes, I will actually do that immediately and forward the email again ... lol ...

I hesitated to mention "urgent" in the topic not to pressure too much, but I will definitely do that on Friday if no response!

Yes thought about that indeed, but I am afraid that because I initially said "probably not", that the embassy needs to reopen the file or something, that's why I also emailed the AIS platform to find out.

Thank you so much, I will follow up by email if I get no response on Friday! It's so frustrating that you can never speak to a human being lol

Hello everybody, Asking members for advice on a K2 issue. I am in the US and married since last November, waiting for AOS. My daughter (17 years old) initially wanted to study in France and join me later with another petition (I-130), and I when I was asked during the embassy interview (visa issued on September 29th), this is what I told them. Now, the distance and frequent trips to visit us in the US have been emotionally very hard on her and she now wants to join us asap. I read everywhere that she normally has until 29 September 2024 to travel to the US with a K2. I sent an email to the embassy in France to know if we can still do this (because I initially said no), explaining the situation. They do not take phone calls, only emails, it has been 3 days ... Can I expect a response from them? Are you allowed to change your mind when you initially said there will probably not be a need for a K2? (I am sure I am not the only one, life situations tend to change) I emailed the NVC and they are telling me to see directly with the embassy. I also emailed the AIS staff taking care of the DS-160 to ask if I could go ahead and just do a DS-160 for her. I am waiting for their reply. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there any hope for a response from the embassy? Should I just go ahead with a DS-160 in case there is no response, or should I just drop it and file a I-130 with my US citizen husband as the petitioner filing for his stepdaughter? (which will take another 18 months to get her here) Many thanks for your advice and help

Hey guys, Interview with visa approval for me today as well! Hopefully it gets issued quickly! Wishing everyone luck !

Paris only has one day at the end of each month ....

I just received the instruction letter from Paris, they responded to my email after 17 days. I did the same you did, appointment scheduled for 27 September and medical on 11 September !

I think they haven't published à new version yet, so yes for the moment it is the only one we can use !

Some people never get it ... we never did ... but they confirmed it was sent by replying to an inquiry

Thanks, it's end of September, so I think we should be good !!

For the DS 160, you can add your future trip on that if you know departure and return date. I did it while I was in the US and it works, with a future return date. If that can be of any help to anyone here

Yeah it's classical, France basically stops working for the 3 first weeks of August. I guess it must also be one of the reasons I didn't get their receipt notification email yet. I thought about that too.
