Review of French Consulate - Chicago, Il...

(2017-6-14) Very nice and accommodating officers.

(2017-6-14) Very nice and accommodating officers.

Some tips:
1. No backpack allowed in the building. The security guard would either direct you to the fitness center for locker rental (10 dollar), or ask you put it in your car. Women's Handbag is OK.

2. If you live in Chicago, you can require to pick up in person. Then you don't need the prepaid mail. (The FAQ is a bit outdated. See the information page for 'long stay visa for researcher')

3. No need for the $23 Express mail, if you don't want to. You can use the prepaid. Priority mail. They do need a 'confirmation number sticker', not only the stamp.

4. They provide extra copies of Long Stay and Short Stay application forms in the office.

Hope these helps~
