| Embassy Review : |
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 window, and start asked questions in french. then, she asked me if i spoke english, and started ask le questions in english. It was basic : how long have you been married, what are you doing for a living, what does your wife do, etc... nothing really special.
Thne she said you will get your visa in 7-10 days. Got it in 6 days.
So, interview went really smooth, but since i was last,the wait was long. Went in at 1 pm, and got out of the embassy at almost 4.30 pm..... |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
