The update about my France GP visa issue.
(It's might be little long in explain, so sorry for that)

In shortly said about my case is like this right now :
I have 3 weeks, need to get done 3 visas, for 3 back to back competition.
*in order : Sofia(SeniorB), Beijing (GP), Bordeaux (GP).
You'll say - why you can't start earlier?
A: because just got the invitations letters ( and still only two of them ).
Why can't chose competition that not that close ?
A: Sorry GP is not picked by me it, i receive it this way, and Sofia it was planned long ago, but competition dates were changed from Dec to Oct.

So i'm should leaving to Sofia on 19th of Oct (if no changes) which mean i have 21 days to get 3 visas done : in Order i should get Bulgaria visa then Chinese then French.
But as from previous experience and problems ( not only me, my teammates as well : incedent in Nice, Worlds, 2012, when they were changing their skates in taxi and skate SP without warm-up because consulate not giving them visas till the very last moment ) i went to French Consulate first (today).
Few days earlier i did all their many documents they ask, and get try get an appointment, but problem is they have one only left for today ( but as they rule it says : one appointment for one person only ) but we have two here, me and my Coach, and there no other left then Oct 5th.
And if not today then next appointment will be available for Oct 5th ( if i get 5th one, it will not be possible to finish two other visas )
So i email them couple days ago, with lot of info and ask as possibilities (since its competition) to see what possible to do for us to have appointments, and if need that our NOC and Winter Sports and also if need French side will contact them for help.
Which they reply shortly kind of like: "all info on website, please follow as our website rules as it said".
Even like that i went to the consulate today with all docs for both of us, me and my coach.
What we need is : (to ask what we can do to get both of our visa done, since we have two more countries visa to do in such a short)
You know, i don't like complain but... ever since i enter there i been pretty much not allowed to ask anything or answer anything except yes or no, simply said been shut up on every single word (even being nicely to them and speak slowly), and (also they tell my Coach leave consulate and wait outside),
When i was asking regarding invitation for two people and about our case, they repeat me again "sir please answer us only yes or no, and not asking other questions" and after on the question "then may i our NOC or French side to contact you guys with email regarding our case", they answer "no, we only do the way we told you, and it will no help"
Shortly said, it was #NoFun.

That the way is , they cannot process our two visas today.
So since that seems like (might) need to cancel France GP,
from the case and timing we have now, but we will see.
Im apologise for long post, and for this text, but some items not depending on me, so just letting you guys know about situation earlier.
Thank You for All Your Support
