Nightmare at Embassy

Since the application of long stay visa
I exchanged a few emails with the France embassy (Visa section)
And I asked about marriage application documents
The reply was:
"You can walk in every Thursday
8.30am to 1.00pm without appointment
To ask the consular section"

Although the fiancé has checked with Paris Townhall
on the required documents
I thought it will be good to make a trip
to double check with France Embassy

So yesterday I took time off
The whole day because I got a feeling I will feel bad
Happens each time doing such documents

I reached the embassy at 10.45am
Went in without queue
Everything seems great
No queue and crazy crowd
so is good...

As I waited for someone to speak to me
FInally a Singaporean looking lady came
and spoke French with me
Okay, is weird we are singaporeans
she like to assume every singaporeans
who walk in france embassy
speaks French

Anyway then the bomb came
I cant speak to anyone because
I don't have an appointment
There is only 1 guy who is in charge of life, death, marriage matters
The guy was fully booked for the day


























I tried to explain how I was misled by the email
The lady then asked me
"How can the visa section advise you on this"
Hello...is not my fault that your colleagues are blur





















At the end
I stayed less than 5 mins in the embassy
But the good part is:
- I know where is the embassy now
- At least is not crowded (even on the Thursdays)
- I got the namecard of the man in-charge

I will try survive this...
