Because of the many holidays in May an= the Embassy being closed for them, the Consular section is booked solid, b=t I have been told the following by my colleagues from Consular:=/span>

"She fii needs to make an appointment. She can do that either online or by c=lling the call center (http://france.usembassy.gov/niv/appointments.html <http://france.usembassy.gov/niv/appointme=ts.html> ). It i= doubtful she will be able to get an appointment on Wednesday or Thursday a= the wait time for work visa appointments is about 7 working days. Ho=ever, appointments do open up if there are cancellations, and the call cent=r can help tell her if there are available appointments next week. &nb=p; I assume she has an approved petition for whichever type of work visa sh= will be applying for. We usually do return visa'ed pas=ports by mail, but if asked, will allow the applicant to pick up personally=in case of imminent travel. The visa is usually ready for=pickup in 1-3 days."

Great, thank you.

The assistant, is of he has been approved for the work visa, but just needs to have it put=into her passport at the US Embassy. She arrives in Paris on Wednesday morn=ng, so a Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning appointment would be best.=She also said the Embassy will need to keep her passport for a bit, but was='t sure how long they will need it. She was hoping to fly back with Jeffrey=to NY on the 26th.

Hi

I will get back to you on Monday as Ambassador Rivk=n is currently in the U.S. in reference to his
availability.

Is the assistant trying to get an appointment at the U.S.=Embassy for a work visa and if yes, what
nationality is she?
