Congratulations  
We got an interview letter one week after getting DQed but 2/3 weeks does seem pretty accurate.

His passport was available for pickup at the point relais today. He's leaving tomorrow! 

Thank you   It's near Balard, here's the link: https://www.mbefrance.fr/fr/envoi/paris_15/0001?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=GMB
He lives in Paris too and he originally picked the at home delivery option but when he called last week they said the point relais is quicker because they get the passport the same day as they're shipped so it save 1-3 days depending on where you live.

Yes, as your husband is from the same area it does make sense to pick up his passport faster. Mine is from Perpignan, so he will have to wait till the passport arrives home.  
But your information may be useful for those who live not far from Paris.
Bon voayage to your hubby! Very happy for you! The adventure is almost over!

Hey! My husband's visa was issued today (interview was on November 6) but he won't receive to for another 2-5 business days. The Paris embassy is very slow in issuing and sending visas compared to other ones! Hope this part of the process will be quicker for the rest of you  

Hi! My husband's interview was 2 days ago at the Paris embassy and he was told he was approved. It still says "ready" on the CEAC website. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks 

Thank you! Those three documents (birth/wedding/police certificates) were less than 3 months but we didn't need translations. For your husband, the US citizen, you just need a photocopy of his passport or of his birth certificate (US birth certificates aren't dated the way they are in France). Hope it helps! 

He was asked how we met, when he had been to the United States, his relationship with my father (who is the joint sponsor) and for pictures of our wedding.  They took all the originals of our french mariage certificate, his birth certificate and his police certificate. The passport will be mailed via post service and you don't need to prove a self-addressed envelope. Let me know if you have any other questions  

Fingers crossed for your documents to be reviewed soon! 

We’re hoping he’ll leave right a day or two after he gets his passport (we booked the ticket today with miles so it can be more easily exchanged) so we’re hoping it will be issued soon!  I’ll update the visa received date on my timeline so you can also get an idea of how quick the turnover is.

My husband's interview yesterday went well and only lasted about 15 minutes. The woman said probably 10 days to get his passport back since his case is electronic. The CEAC status still only says "ready" and not "administrative processing" or "issued." Hope this helps!

You cannot pick up your passport at the embassy. The options are to have it sent to your address or pick it up at the location they provide, I think there is only one in Paris actually. You will have to chose what option you want. If there is no problem with your application, it should take only a few days but they do not commit any time.

OMG, so happy for your husband! Mine is from France also, DQ on 10/1 but no IL yet😪

Hey! My husband just got an interview scheduled at the Paris embassy for November 6. The website says he can go and get his passport and visa himself after the interview when it's ready (instead of having sent). Has anyone done this before? If so, about how long after the interview is the passport ready? Thanks! 

I did but there are no new messages. I'll wait a bit but I hope it means a DQ is coming soon. Thanks! 

All my documents were accepted but there was message asking us for more documentation in CEAC.
 
It took many tries to get the message to actually appear but in the end it showed us the message. If you don't have a DQ email it means something is wrong.
