Bonjour!
According to the French Embassy and Consulates in the United States, you can submit your French visa application documents by mail to the French Embassy or Consulate General in San Francisco, but there are some specific requirements and guidelines to follow:

- Use the correct address: Send your application to the French Embassy or Consulate General in San Francisco, depending on your location:

(for applicants living in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin):
