Consulate General of France - Atlanta, Georgia

John Miller

Une très bonne expérience ! J'ai dû renouveler mon passeport français ainsi que ma carte nationale d'identité. La liste des documents nécessaires était sur leur site Web, et j'ai pris rendez-vous. Le jour où je suis venu déposer mes documents, le Consulat était fermé exceptionellement, mais ils ont maintenu leurs rendez-vous quand-même. J'ai reçu des courriels dès que mes papiers étaient prêts. J'ai cherché mon passeport et ma carte d'identité sans problème (et sans RV). Merci beaucoup !

Ça me rappelle lorsque j'ai fais mon passeport biometrique en 2012 et je remercis le personnel du consulat général de France à Atlanta, GA de m'avoir aidé et Dieu merci tout se passe bien pour moi en France.

Not a very positive experience. We had an appointment for 11:00am. We arrived at 10:45am but waited till 1:30pm in that small room. They did work so slowly. It took about 30-45 minutes for them to process one application (but they had 15 minutes time slots). The man who processed my documents was rude and did not read my documents carefully and kept asking weird questions (the answers of which he all found later in my documents). When calling to inquire about the status of my application, the person on the phone was also rude and impatient. Not surprisingly, I finally got the visa. But the experience was not nice at all. They can manage time better and be better trained.

For a tourist visa with my family, I had to visit 3 times because slots for same day were not available and they don't have a facility for family appointments. It would be great if the consulate considers family appointments when all family members have the same paperwork to submit, same itinerary, same tickets and travel plan.
Also, it seems a bit understaffed as there were no appointments for the next one month starting mid-March.

Some of the issues we faced while waiting with a baby:

1. Being told at noon that sorry we couldn't manage an out of turn appointment. So we had to go back another day (we were lucky someone cancelled their appt!!)
2. The interview process is painfully slow. Each application takes about 1 hour at the counter even though there are all standard documents.
3. During the 2nd appointment, they forgot that my husband's passport had already been dispatched. we had barely reached home and they called up to inform that the courier fee would have to be submitted again (by mail or in person). We had to do a 3rd visit just because of this.

Additionally, the visas we got were exactly to our ticket dates. I couldn't have changed my flight by a single day (in case it was required), even though the visas were received 2 months in advance.

Special thanks to Natalie. She is a professional and helping people, of course if it is in her power. I have no problem applied my Doc. It takes me 30 minutes to get all down. People please read the official website, collect all documents as showed on the list and copes. Of course they're not smiling it is serious business, but they are professionals, so please be serious before Apple for the visa.

I have had the greatest experience with the staff at the consulate. Everyone from the security guy at the door to the lady who handled my passport application was very nice and helpful. Even when I had to call to see what my options are to get an expedited passport (although I had already applied and was waiting for my regular one) because of a family emergency, the staff was very supportive and went over my options to accommodate the situation.

As efficient as one could hope given the process and unclear/conflicting requirements on the website. Follow the instructions, be organized, bring all the requested documents and then some, and bring your patience. We had a pleasant experience that was less stressful than I thought it would be. The woman who processed our application was thorough, firm, friendly, and efficient.
