My husband gave me the short hand as he was hopping on the metro...
He arrived with a duffle bag because he was leaving paris immediately after the interview. They will not store luggage for you so he had to walk 2 km to the nearest hotel and pay 5 Euro so they could store his luggage. He didn't give me the time frame of how long it took. He said that he gave the birth certificate, marriage certificate, and casier judiciare. After for his "interview" the American woman (who he said laughed a lot) asked him where we met, where I work, where my grandma works (we're young and that's our co-sponsor), where he works, where his parents work, and where will we live when he gets to the US. He had a black eye and she didn't mention it. He said sorry it's from rugby and she laughed and said she thought it was from a fight. She spoke French the whole time. At the end he asked if he got the visa and she said yes it'll arrive the following Tuesday or Wednesday.

Excellent ! All was processed in less than 1h30 !! The lady that collect the documents was very focused at reviewing the documents, very professional, friendly and blazzing fast. That was outstanding to me ! Yes, a governement administration can work fast, be focused and accurate and efficient all at the same time !! (That's something I've never seen and you will never see with French administration).
The consul was a guy, ask me 3 questions (where your fiancée is living ? where did you meet ? Where will you get married ?). He was friendly and told me right away the visa is approved and I will receive it in about 5 days.
Note that they never talked to me in English, not even the consul... I was surprised about that.
After 6 years of relationship we, my fiancée and I, can NOW plan the wedding !!!!! Sweet :-)

Went there early, too early. They don't let you get in until 25 minutes prior to your interview, i.e. around 12:35pm in Paris.
Got a ticket for IV, and waited around 45 minutes for my number to be called (i.e. 15 minutes after my appointment time).
First did paperwork processing (gave them updated evidence of financial support, updated pictures, updated police certificate and birth certificate). The lady was very kind and helpful. My Chronopost envelope was too small (they need a 2Kg for IR1-CR1 as they send the entire packet), but luckily enough, another applicant had a envelope that was too big right after me, so she called me and offered to switch envelopes to expedite the process (instead of having to come back to drop off another one).
Then waited another 15 minutes to speak to the consular officer. Asked me basic questions about where I met my wife, what I had done over the past year and what I was planning on doing in the US. Then made me sign part II of ... read complete review

My fiancée had his interview today. Everything went well except for one thing..for some reason he had an unsigned copy of the Affidavit of Support. I swear I signed it so I can't only imagine that he took a copy that I hadn't signed because I distinctly remember signing it. The lady who takes the documents told him normally you are rejected if something like that is missing but she said that she would let the consulate decide. So the consulate asked the usual questions, how we met, what he would do in the US...and then said that we had to get him a signed Affidavit within seven days or the case would be dropped. So I faxed it about 4 times and sent a copy via US mail AND UPS..Only the paranoid survive!! According to the consul as soon as they receive the signed document the visa will be issued. So my fiancée thinks everything will be OK. Hopefully we'll get the visa within a normal time frame since I sent the document right away.

First of all, the visa section is not at the 2 Avenue Saint Florentin anymore, they changed it, you have to go to the other side of the place concorde (don t remember the name of the street, but it s on the same side than Saint Florentin) where there is a whole bunch of cops.
I got into the embassy, we weren't able to take a ticket cause it didn t work, so they had to give us post it with number in it.
First window: french woman took my interview letter and ask me to wait until she called me. It was long, really long, like 2 hours of wait. Thne she called me again, and i gave her all the administrative papers (birth certificate, police record, marriage certificate), pictures (less than 6 month old), the medical enveloppe, the Chronopost enveloppe, etc.. she took my fingerprints. Then she asked me to sit down, and told me the "consul" will call me (i don t think she was the consul though, but maybe the vice consul...)
Then a woman, american, called me to another win... read complete review
