POE is in dublin?

[SirJon 0]

US Customs & Border Protection in Dublin runs a full passport inspection preclearance facility at this time. We inspect and process all aspects of immigration related cases as well as admissions, paroles and immigrant packages. We process and provide all the same papers/processes that would occur at any POE on the mainland US.

We currently preclear 7 flights a day, not all of the US bound flights are cleared but below you will find the flights we clear every day:

Delta 165 to JFK

Continental 23 to Newark

Aer Lingus 105 to JFK

Delta 177 to Atlanta

US Airways 723 to Philadelphia

Aer Lingus 137 to Boston

Aer Lingus 123 to Chicago

If you fly from Dublin on any of these flights you will be cleared of all the passport and immigration requirements. You will arrive in the destination airport and proceede directly to the customs hall, collect your bags and then clear the Customs & Agriculture inspections.

Dublin Airport will have the full preclearance process as soon as the new terminal opens in the fall of 2010.

What this saves people: depending on where you fly into, for example my last post was Miami and people sent into secondary to process immigrant packages can wait for periods up to 2 hours or more depending on the work load of the office at the time of arrival. I would consider Miami, JFK, LAX, ORD, EWR major Port of Entries and wait times can be long. If done in Dublin, your process is finished in time for you to board your aircraft and then relax on your flight knowing your passport will have your stamp inside as well as your temporary resident and EAD approval.]

Hope this helps someone......

Is this true??? Are they now giving the EAD stamp in Dublin????

I'm leaving next week.

I read that to mean other visa types, such as CR1 and employment based visas.

Oh well, never mind.

Hence my original statement stands - all airports in Canada with scheduled commercial flights to the US are US POEs. I believe that is a true statement.

Toronto Island for one.

Touche!

Porter flies between Toronto Island and Midway here in Chicago. The US Customs clearance is done at Midway, and Porter is the only international airline which flies into Midway, meaning that the US Customs (and Immigration, I presume?) are dedicated to Porter customers. I've got a ton of AA miles so I've been using those to fly to Canada from O'Hare, but when my miles run out I'll consider flying Porter.

I did a little research on that air company. Seems like Aer Lingus which holds most of the flights from Dublin, has always delays in flights, unhelpful and unfriendly staff, and a bad flight policy - whatever happens with your flight or on board, they'd never cover your loss.

Now, after reading all I read online, I am sure I'll never book a flight with them

You can find bad reviews about all airlines. I've flown Aer Lingus for years and never had major issues, very prompt flights, the once they lost my bag they gave me suitable expences (eu required anyway) until it was returned. I've found the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. It's far from perfect but then these days there are lots of factors for choosing certain flights - convenience, price, and quality.

I don't care if you fly Aer Lingus or not, but felt I should counter your internet 'research' with personal experience.

All airports in Canada with scheduled commercial flights to the US are US POEs. That includes Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal (Dorval), Halifax.

Not all..... just the ones on this list: Pre-Clearance Locations in Canada

The only differences between my list and the link you posted are Edmonton and Victoria. So, Edmonton and Victoria are additions not subtractions.

Other than that, can you think of any airport in Canada with regularly scheduled commercial flights to the US that is not a POE?

Insofar as I know that's it. I think that London, Hamilton, and other cities have charter flights, e.g. for holiday destinations like Ft. Lauderdale or Las Vegas. I don't believe there are any other airports with scheduled flights.

Hence my original statement stands - all airports in Canada with scheduled commercial flights to the US are US POEs. I believe that is a true statement.

No not all airports in Canada with scheduled commercial flights to the US are US POE's. (US preclearances) if I understand you correctly. No airport in Saskatchewan has a U.S. preclearance and there are regularly scheduled flights from Regina to Denver (starting July 09) and Regina to Minneapolis, and Saskatatoon I believe just to Minneapolis. Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg all major cities around SK have preclearances though.
