Hi there,

WElcome to the VJ family.. the quickest is K1 which means you shouldnt get married to your country, u nless a K1 visa is issued.. it would take 5-6 months , depending on your case.. but its the quickest.. coz if you get married.. you have to file for a different petititon of your choice either K3 or CR1.. k3 is faster than cr1 but since a lot of people are filing it already there are backlogs for k3 which would eventually take longer than cr1.. may i suggest k1 then..

:D

Good Luck!

We filed the K1 in June 2007, got approval in October 2007...he had his medical January 2008 and then his interview April 2008. Nicky finally moved to the US in June 2008. We drew out the process quite a bit after October though...we wanted to give ourselves time to save money, for me to finish school etc so if we had not taken our time it could have been under 6 months for him to get over to the US.

The Republic will be a bit different of course, but from what I have been able to tell the process runs at about the same pace after approval at either the CA or VT service center.

I hope your process goes quick and smooth! Added bonus - your POE will be in Dublin, and they seem to be a bit more easy going there than at other POE's...but that is just from my husband's experience.

Hi,

Welcome to this community. :)

Shape

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the site and just thought i'd introduce myself, and say hi.

I can't tell you how releived i am to have found this forum, It has lifted my spirits sooo much, I really am alot more relaxed since reading just a couple of your stories. :)

I am From Ireland, My boy is in the US, I'm only back in dublin about 3 weeks, and i spend every second i have trying to find ways to make things go faster.

We were told yesterday (and correct me if this is wrong) That if he were to come here and get married here in dublin, that if we then apply for our papers and i go back with him, it will take a shorter ammount of time??

I'm willing to try anything to make it so we dont have to wait forever to see each other, Obviously we want to do things properly and with in the law. I want to spend the rest of my life there. :star:

Its all such a scary process. I am terrified right now.

:unsure:

Welcome to the site. I myself came over from Dublin too on an O-1 visa.

I was living in Ireland for 12 years and made the move in '05.

Depending on where you settle you will miss sme things but Aer Lingus has decent priced connections back home.

I use their Orlando to Dublin direct flight a couple of time a year and invariably find myself on Baggot Street feeling a little the worse for wear!!!
