Irish in the US

[Donal78 0]

Thats great news,hopefully he wll get the interview soon. The interview in dublin is a breeze. Just make sure you have all the correct information.

Oct 27th is my birthday

I know how you feel-I swore that my man would have had this visa MONTHS ago-boy was I wrong

You guys should be ok-once they get the info-they move quickly. The best thing you can do, is have all the paperwork ready to send back in when you get packet #3. Once we did that-it moved pretty quickly(well we had a few bumps along the way, but our case was a little complicated). They are sound at the embassy, you could always ask to get in as soon as possible-once they have your paperwork, they may be able to get you in straight away(explain about your wedding-it certainly can't hurt).

Let me know when they get your paperwork.

It's really good to see so many Irish on here lately

Take care

Colleen

My fiancee got a letter saying that they sent the package to the embassy on the 21st, which was really quick, considering they recieved it on the 15th. I already have my paperwork ready as I recieved packet #3 a while ago when the embassy had my petition the first time (thank you IMBRA), so maybe this will be a quick enough process....

Thanks for your help!

We got a letter saying my my petition had been sent to the Dublin embassy on the 18th, however the embassy have not yet recieved it. 12 days later.

NVC don't know why, the embassy doesn't know why.

This is not helping my nerves....sniff.

I bet they have it-it is just under a plie somewhere. Keep calling them & have all your papers ready to send back in. I bet you have an interview by early October

They move pretty fast in Dublin(Thank God)

Hi all brand new to this board

I would really appreciate your help

I am looking for your/friends/family experiances with the green card especially post 9/11.

I want to know how strict they are about people leaving the country for extended periods of time and how long i would have to spend there every year/two years.... (days weeks months) and if i would have to work to keep it?

I know if your gone for more than one year you have to fill in a reentry permit. Is this frowned upon? can you keep doing this indefinately and just go back show your face and expect to hang onto it?

As we all know there are rules and there are "rules" so real life experiances would be great

Thanks

PS i havent even gone to the US with the stamp in my passport yet just trying to sort things out and make plans to know where i stand.

Are you based in ireland or the states?

If in ireland how long have you been away from the states. Do you have a 10 year greencard?

Hey amanda,

That's great news Donal, you must be thrilled to finally have it!!

All's going well here, only another 9 weeks to go till the baby is due, so we're all excited and enjoying our weekend lie-ins while we can!! The weather has really been great since we came back, a couple days of rain but really nothing too bad. Mayo and Kerry are playing in the All Ireland football this Sunday, so it should be a good match if Mayo don't fall apart like they usually do! I'm not a big fan of gaelic, but we watched the semi's with Mayo v Dublin and it was a brilliant game.

No major news here at all to be honest, Tesco and Dunnes are in the middle of a "price war" so I'll be heading to either one to do the groceries...see what you're missing Ha! Ha!

Well, good luck job hunting and hope you get word on the AOS too

Colleen, any date on Gavin coming over?

Thats great. Its about time dunnes and tesco got involved in a pricing war. The more competition the better. Ouch about the electricity hike from january.20% increase.

Mayo will fall apart on sunday but it would be a nice suprise if they manage the beat the mighty kerry team. Best of luck with the pregnancy,you both will make great parents and there is no better place to bring up a child than ireland.

I have an interview next week with an IT recruiter in boston.Hopefully i can get a job out if it.The only problem i may have is we have already booked our tickets back to ireland to spend xmas as it will have been 9 months since We were last back. Hopefully that wont stop companies from hiring my services.

I think gavin is coming in october if i remember correctly what colleen said before.

Hi Donal

Sorry if i wasnt clear

I am based in Ireland and I havent actually got the GC yet have won the lotto and have a low number so its just a matter of time i know i have to go to the states to get the card and get an address over there to send it to i think anyway. Ill prob just use a friends address.

Will i have to work initially or is it just enough to go through immigration at the airport? I know i have to sign up for draft services or whatever they (We!!) call it might try and get a driving licience as well and open bank accounts before i have to head home. At least this way i will have some links with the country when im not there.
