Consulate Review: France Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing Event Description Review Date : October 9, 2007 Embassy Review : All in all, a very good experience. Getting information BEFORE filing the I-130 can be hard because they no longer have time to consecrate to questions from petitioners but, in fact, if you go in with all your paperwork, and if you have tried to fill in the forms correctly, they do try to help you at the window. I spent ages on my I-130 before going and the woman interviewing us just corrected it as the interview went along and it was no big deal! The I-864 interview was much easier. Understanding what to do once you arrive at the Embassy is easy enough... Just read the instructions they give you. I read here somewhere that someone was sent out into the street to find a Chronopost envelope because they had the wrong size...??? I found that odd because there is a Chronopost vending machine IN the Embassy in the lobby by the soda machines, so... Rating : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
