Be patient. Imagine the number of applications they get each single day... 4-5 days for a 5 years visa is nothing much.

I've been waiting for Paris for three weeks now. I submitted my application on the 15th and am still waiting for my documents to be verified. It takes forever in France.

I didn't even receive a confirmation email when I submitted my application. I contacted them a week after submitting the application, and they told me that it had been registered and that I had to wait.

I'll contact them again next week if I still haven't heard anything. In Paris, it has a reputation for taking a long time, and with the public holidays in May, it's delayed even further.
