Hello,

Me and my wife will be traveling to France from the USA relatively soon. We’re in the process of selling our house and won’t really have a physical address (we’ll be using a family members for tax purposes, bank accounts ect. But will be air b&bing it until we leave). We’re about to apply for our visas in Chicago. She will be getting a student visa and I will be getting a long stay visitor visa . When I did more research it seems they send the relevant documents and passports (at least for my long stay visa) to DC and then mail them back. I was wondering if they mail it back to your physical address or if you have the option to pick it up at the consulate? (In this case Chicago)
