Embassy of the United States

dont know why people write bad reviews here, but I had the best & nicest experience here ever. They were friendly, accurate with instructions and very professional. I wish ALL US government agencies back in CA are as at par as this one here in Paris. Five star to you guys, esp. to the FilAm Security officers in the gate! Continuer à faire du bon travail

My life is being currently held hostage by this embassy. They make me embarrassed to be an American.
15 Months ago my Fiancé did something stupid and had to leave the country. After about 2 months we began to work on his K-​1 Fiancé VISA. The process has been long and painful and we have been trying to keep our realtionship going over 9 time zones and 6,000 miles.
Well the Embassy has made the last parts so hard I am ready to scream:
— Taking close to a month to schedule his appointment for his interview after receiving his paper work
— Being rude to him for «calling too much» when he arrived
— Making him wait for 3.5 hours despite having an appointment for a FIVE MINUTE interview
— Telling him it would be 2 to 5 Business days for them to mail back his passport with the VISA. 2 WEEKS later and they still have not even mailed it.
I cannot believe these are the people who are representing us abroad. I am not surprized so many people hate our country if this is the representation they are getting. I am an american and this makes we want to say «FUCK YOU USA» and move abroad because of this suck fuck.
Every one who works there should be fired. You are pathetic horrible people and I hope you know that the stress you have put me on is making my hair fall out and keeping me awake at night.

If you are unfortunate enough to be robbed as I was and in need of a replacement passport… good luck!
Hours are strictly 830 to 500 mon-​fri.
If replacing passports you need to get there early, or they will make you feel guilty or ask you to come back the following day.
At this writing, replacement passports cost 135 US$. The cashier leaves early, too. Remember… this IS France, even though this is technically US soil. People do not like to work in France. It is a fact.
Good luck parking as well. The Concord is one of the busiest places in Paris. The drive there may be more harrowing than the robbery. LOL
I would imagine things would have been worse of I were a citizen of another country… but I expected a US operation to be more efficient and convenient to citizens with true emergencies.
