Hello,

My interview for my K1 visa will be next week and I will arrive at Orly airport around 9:30am, my intervie will be at 13:00pm, I'll stay only one night so i'm just taking a backpack, but my understanding is that you can't take anything inside the embassy.

Anyone knows where I can leave a backpack while I attend the interview?

I plan to get to Champs-Elysees around 11:00am, take the metro to the embassy and go to the postal office, near the embassy, before my interview. Is there any option along this route to store luggage?

thx

It seems that you haven't left any wiggle room. You never know what may happen. Flight could be delayed, weather, police activity. You never know. I advise you to arrive a day before, splurge on the hotel, and you can leave your luggage there.

thanks boston-montreal i used that and found a perfect soluction:

- arrived at Orly west and there is a postal office in the terminal, so i got the mandat compte and the chronopost envelope from there

- then got on the "Les Cars Airfrance" bus from the terminal going to the Champ Ellysee, and I got off at the "gare montparnasse" and there are lockers to put your stuff the cheapest ones are 5.5 Euros

- got on the metro from "gare montparnasse" to "concorde" and the embassy is right there.

I got the the aiport around 9:45 by 11:45 e was outside the embassy waiting
