You waited a month before checking for mail received at your previous address, knowing that you were waiting for an appointment...

Did you not know that you can have your mail forwarded to your new address when you move? Just go to the Post Office.

As it is, you will have to start over. You don't speak French but do you not know anyone who does who can help you?

Missed appointments mean wasted time for the administration services, and wasted time is wasted money.

 

Normally, they'll give you one "mistake" - if you miss the first appointment they send, you can usually get a second one. Go to the OFII in person. They're generally pretty tolerant of newcomers who don't speak much French (more so than most government offices). Explain the situation and either they will make an appointment for you on the spot or register your new address and send you a new appointment for the next available OFII session for newcomers.

Miss that appointment at your own peril, though. (That's why you want to make sure to register your new address with them.)

 

If you get another appointment, please don't miss it because there are huge numbers of people wanting appointments and no doubt many who would have been overjoyed to have yours. Plus you are wasting government funding.

 

Oh, and if you phone the OFII office (contact details should be on your appointment letter) they will most likely have someone who can reply in English so you should try that.
