Paris Interview: Which Size Chronopost Envelope?

[kimsue 3]

My husband has his interview at the Paris embassy coming up in June and I was wondering which size Chronopost envelope he needs to bring. I've seen mention of both Chronopost 13H 1kg and 2kg. Thanks for your help!

Hi,

A format "souple" 1kg size 280mm x 210mm is what I used and I didn't have any problem.

Thanks, Bruno!

Does anyone else have any experience with this? There is an embassy review that says for IR-1/CR-1 the size has to be 2kg.

If it helps, it said on my Packet 4 letter "chronopost envelope: 1kg or 2kg".

I don't think it really matters because what they are going to put in there is not gonna be even 1kg.

In case you still have doubt there is a machine that sells chronopost envelopes inside the embassy (maybe more expensive than other place)

Unfortunately, my Packet 4 doesn't even say anything about the Chronopost envelope. The embassy website immigrant visa FAQ page does say this, though:

Can I collect my visa in person?

No. Each applicant is required to provide a Chronopost envelope (2 kg) for the delivery of his or her visa by mail.

Maybe there is a difference between K-1s and IR-1/CR-1s... I might just tell my husband to get the 2kg to be safe.

By the way, I just noticed that someone else asked this exact same question before and you were the one who helped them too. Probably should have searched that first

Ok if it says 2kg on the embassy website, it is safer to get a 2kg. I think what happened for me is that in the post office where i bought it the 1 kg was the only one available and for the K-1 they say 1 or 2 kg so I was ok.

Hope your interview goes well.

In case anyone has this question in the future... for IR-1/CR-1 visa applicants, you should bring the 2kg envelope. My husband ended up bringing that one, and it was the right size.
