Haven't heard back from Paris about direct consular filing under exceptional circumstances

[mc620 2]

I emailed the Paris embassy on February 16 about direct consular filing for my spouse since I got a job offer in the US starting in mid April. 

 

They responded within a day and asked for my titre de sejour. I replied immediately with a letter confirming approval of my titre de sejour. Unfortunately I don't have the actual card yet but my application has been approved. 

 

I haven't heard anything since. I am starting to get really worried since my job is starting soon and I need to fly back to the States. Do I just keep waiting for a reply? Do I need to wait for my titre de sejour to be in hand and request again then?

I would really try to get an answer before you fly out. Residency prior and during the filing could be considered.

Have you filed the I-130 yet?

I haven't, I still haven't heard back from the initial request to file...

 

I don't really know what to do...they won't answer emails and it's impossible to get a real person on the phone.

Update: I finally received my titre de sejour on March 15, and emailed a copy to Paris immediately. After waiting for about a week, with a bit of back and forth sprinkled in between, today I got an appointment set for March 23. 

 

Looks like they will not accept anything except the actual titre de sejour, because they won't even bother to email you back otherwise.

That's great to know, thanks for updating us.

Hi mc620,

I'm wondering how you managed to get a hold of the embassy in Paris?

My husband has a job starting May 15th in the US and we still haven't heard back on our request to DCF. I'm starting to panic.

We sent all the required documents and they never responded asking for any additional documents, but also haven't denied us or given us an appointment.
