Yesterday we had the interview in Dublin and I am happy to report it was a success! :dance:

The only problem we had was with FI's birth certificate. We brought the original, the translation, and what his mother told me was a certified copy but the lady at the desk insisted it wasn't and so we had to get it notarised after the interview at the solicitors across the street, which cost 50 euro!! The whole thing seemed a bit silly, I don't see why they would need to keep a copy of his birth cert., but anyways to everyone preparing for your interview make sure you have this!

Apologies if I state in a comment that my husband and I have been together for years & years. It's just that I can hardly remember a time when he and I were not together.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! We are currently in Administrative Processing with no time-lines to guide us!

My husband is looking at cars in Trinidad for me as his wish has come true! Me a Trini-Wife!

BUT

I will call DoS weekly to check the progress and I will not give up hope.

July of 2011 is the cut off date for us, when I will either start construction on a home here in the US or return to Trinidad to be with my husband.

I think there's only two in the whole country. One in Dublin and one in Cork. Good luck with the Cork doctor. Dealing with him was the worst for my husband (then fiance), only surpassed by dealing with the Gardai for the police cert. :bonk:

I'm the USC petitioner.
