Packet received today =D!!!!

Do we need an address where we will live for the DS160? I think we will fill it together on Sunday and I will book everything on Monday =)

[angie33 10]

congrats angie33, yes you need your F's adress

from what i saw 31st of august is available BUT there is no drs appointement....i called dr Jolly and she said its too close from when she would come back from vacations(on the 26).... ...... for september there was still one slot left for the 7th, then on the 14th 4 slots were available.. the hardest part to me was to schedule the medical, the only appointement i could get for the kids and i is on the 2nd of september....and my interview is on the 7th.......im from the south of france need to travel all the way up to paris and stay for almost a week with 3 kids .... but hey! i dont complain i still have everything settled even if its not what i expected...

Just a tip angie33 on packet3 they say to schedule first the med and then the interview, if you choose to do your medical exam with dr jolly you need to schedule first the interview and after that schedule the medical on de jolly web site.

keep us posted!everything will be fine!!good luck with your ds160!!

OMG I can't believe I took this long to find this group. My fiancee and I have been scratching out heads about the process after the visa is at the consulate. We got the Package 3 yesterday. My fiance completed the DS-160 today and we paid for the visa and schedule one.... BUT after reading here, we are going to have to re-schedule because we were not aware that the doctors are in vacation. No biggie but I just want to double check with people that have received the emailed packet 3. NO DS-2001 TO WORRY ABOUT?

I have to say that the french consulate process is a little challenging since there are some many different ways people seem to process their visa.... now its an email no more DS-2001. I am not complain because this obviously streamlines the process but no formal notice about any changes??? idk maybe I am the one not reading the information correctly. Oh well, MEDICAL and INTERVIEW here we come!!!!

Thank you for all the info.... It does help

hey and welcome on this thread the Lujums!!!

Don't worry for the DS-2001, they dont send it anymore, now its quicklier since you dont have to worry about sending back this ds-2001

Now you just schedule everything and print your confirmation page where its written informations about the date and hour of your appointement AND your delivery adress(to receive your passeport back) and do not worry on this confirmation page you can read that you have to bring it PLUS the letter that the consulate/embassy sended to you, its seems to be a old automatic sentence that has not been removed yet.

From what i understood and read here on vj you will have to show this confirmation page to the security before entering in the US embassy.(check on french portal at "the reviews" section that might help you to have an idea about how they will proceed)

you also need to print the ds-160 confirmation page, and ive also printed the pamphlet about domestic violence....

im still waiting to go to the interview(on the 7th of september) so i cannot tell you how it went on my case yet ( k1, plus 3 k2)..... when is your appointment date?did you schedule medical? keep us posted, i know its very stressing but you are almost done :dance: :dance: !!!!!

stay strong, love always win!!!!!

Hey =)

I can't pay for the fees! it says cards are not valid, but it's mastercard! Did you have a problem for that?

What is CVV? the 3 numbers in the back of the card?

Thank you for your answer!

Our appointment is on August 31th@8:45am! Our medical is on the 30th @4:30pm. Does anyone knows what would be a conservative time to project the visa in hand? I want to buy a ticket risking a possibility. I find that it might be worth it. BTW, kiwi.com is the best site I have found for tickets

Love always wins for sure

[frfrog 5]

hey angie33!!! i had the exact same problem!!!yes the cvv its te number on the back.... after a couple of try i just wired the money.... it take up to 48hrs to receive a confirmation email for your payement

[frfrog 5]

[angie33 10]

I just saw that you had called about medical appointment... I was able to book a medical for the 30th @4:30 there was only one slot available online. Our visa appointment is set for the 31th. On Tuesday, my fiancee will be calling to confirm everything. I am worry now that the medical appointment after you comment... Did you get a flat out no she is not working or did you get a there are no slots available? Maybe one got open after I checked?

[frfrog 5]

i think that i called right after you scheduled your medical then because when i called nothing was available anymore....dont worry dr jolly comes back from vacations on the 26th, everything will be fine :-) good luck!!
