PARIS UPDATE: MAJOR CHANGE IN NIV PROCESSING

Posted on September 26, 2001

Effective October 1, 2001, the Embassy is switching to a 100% Mail-In system for all nonimmigrant visas. No walk-ins will be allowed. Aliens are to submit their applications by regular mail (to the avenue Gabriel address) or by Chronopost or international courier service (to the 2 rue St. Florentin address). Applicants should routinely enclose traceable prepaid mailers for the return of their passports. The Embassy hopes to effect 48-hour turnaround from receipt of an application: within that period they will either issue the visa or mail a request that the applicant appear for interview at a specific date and time. Emergency procedures will also be implemented, but those have not yet been defined.
