Irish in the US

[j&js 0]

Amanda had started a great list of those of us in the US who have ties to Ireland. I know this thread wasn't getting a ton of use before, but I just wanted to restart it so that we would be aware of who is from where and can help each other out with ideas when we have 'em.

If you are new to this thread, please add you and your SO's name and location!

Just wondering if anyone had to call the Dublin embassy ever and what time of day you did it. I know they only deal with visa stuff from 1-4pm, but does that count for phone calls from a US citizen too?

I really want to call in the morning before work, but then it would only be around 10am there... Does anybody know if they will still talk to me then?

Thanks for any info!

My grandfather's grandfather was from Golden, Ireland..... at first everyone thought he was saying "golden Ireland" (like as an adjective.... "long-lost beautiful golden place of lore").... then, long after his death, his grandson looked at a map and by God there it was ! (You have to have a really detailed map as it's a rather tiny place.)

Hi Julia

I sent you a PM bout that, and you can only call between 1 and 4pm. Sucks I know, but hopefully you can find a way to contact them .

Wife of Mahmoud...yip, lots of little villages in Ireland!

Mel and Chris: what part of MA and are you still living there?

I have a big question for you all now!

James just checked his voicemail and had a message from Friday (silly man wasn't expecting any calls, hadn't checked since then!!) from the embassy. A woman left a neutral message asking him to call her, gave an ext. number and everything and said call anytime Mon-Fri 10:00am- 1:30 pm. he will of course call at 10 on the dot tomorrow morning, but we are so nervous!!

Does anyone know what a phone call means? Does it mean something is missing or don't bother, we won't give you a visa, or does it mean, hey get in here tomorrow we want to speed you through??

Sorry for the panicky post, we just weren't expecting this and are a little scared!
