Healed 8 years of Traumas in one interview! The wait was long but you only need to speak with 2 officials - one to sort out the paperwork and one for the actual interview - they were both amazing, welcoming and helpful and even spoke multiple languages: French, English, Spanish and Portuguese so they'll ask you if you prefer your interview in English or Portuguese - I was impressed! In two hours I was done!

Had a great experience, everything went smoothly.
Just waited outside for a little bit and when it became 30 mins before the interview time I went in, showed some of my documents and they sent me in.
Turned off my phone and gave it to the guard, the lady inside was very helpful and guided me to all the right places.
It was a two step procedure, wich means, first step is to provide documentation and second step is the actual interview.
Everyone was very friendly, and when it was over it was such a release.
Btw, take some coins, there's a coffee machine and a vending machine, since you can't take liquids in.
Also if you don't have pictures, they have photo boots inside.

Everyone super nice, from the people guiding us to taking our documents to the actual person who interviewed me. They were all helpful and the next day, not even 24h after my interview they called me to pick up my visa at the embassy

Everything ran smoothly and a lot better than I was expecting. I'm Portuguese and was happy to see people speaking my language at every stage: at security, at the "check-in" counter, at the first window, and at the interview booth.
Documents I was asked to show:
- Passport
- DS-160 form
- Birth certificate (original)
- Police criminal check (original)
- Chronopost envelope
- 2 5cmx5cm color pictures (although the website says to take only 1)
Although I had taken an affidavit of support and a copy of ourfilled-out I-129F forms, those were not needed.
All in all, I spent maybe 1 hour inside the embassy. It really was quick and there were a lot of people working there, it seems things have gone back to normal despite the pandemic.

Review by my fiancé:
I'm a Portuguese citizen and had my interview at the Paris embassy on the 20th of October 2021.
Before the interview I bought a Chronopost 29x38cm (the 25x36cm size no longer exists I believe) envelope from La Poste for €59. You can fill it out if you wish but I recommend you don't as they will do that for you. You can remove the foam protection inside if you wish but you can also do it at the embassy when they ask you to.
To enter the embassy I had to wait in the sidewalk opposite of a double wide tent which is the first security post. They called out for people to enter every 15 minutes. They were friendly and reasonable. At this first security outpost I was asked to present my passport and they checked their list. They asked me to put my stuff into a basket and searched me with a hand-held metal detector. I then headed into the permanent building, where again I was asked to put my stuff into a basket (belt and all)... read complete review
