Sent in additional documents...how long can i expect to wait?

[jayvikings57 0]

Hey everybody.

Had my consulate interview in Dublin last week in which I was told to submit an additional I-864 (joint sponsor) form.

Had my wife fed ex me that and I sent it to Dublin and the consulate received the additional documents on Monday morning.

The officer said the rest of my application was fine and just needed this additional document.

Any ideas how long I may have to wait now to get the visa sent down to me?

Thanks for any help.

Each consulate takes different times - but the average is 15 days.

Ok, 15 days seems like longer than I thought considering it would be just adding that form to my application.

When I was at the consulate, they kept my passport and seemed to indicate that once I sent in the document

things would move fairly swiftly.

I wonder does anyone have direct experience with the consulate in Dublin.

Did you sign the second part of your DS-230 on your interview date? If yes, then they'll start processing on receipt of the additional doument and I'd give it a week to receive the packet. If you didnt sign, you will get a call to come in and sign the form, then you'll receive the packet after about a week of signing.

Cases vary so all these are just estimates based on previous experience...

Oh yeah I signed the DSO230 on the day, they took my fingerprints and all that on the day aswell.

So I guess that is somewhat in my favour?

Yes. Give it till wednesday and maybe then send an email enquiring about the status,

Thats what ill do.

Any idea what they check anyway when they are reviewing the application after the interview?

I suppose some sort of background check
