Things were different for me, because I got my passport back with the visa there and then. Nowadays, they post it out to you. So even if they sent it today or tomorrow, with the slowness of the Irish postal system, I wouldn't count on getting the passport and visa this week, sorry.

The only thing I could suggest is ring them tomorrow and ask - very nicely- if there is any chance of you collecting the passport later in the week in person due to travel arrangements.

Dublin to Galway is usually a one day delivery but yeah I definitly have plans to ask if I can travel up to get it, with the new motorway open its less than a 2 hour drive. I'm hoping I may still be in with a chance of getting it back by Friday.

I bet we will both get ours the same day, my passport is probably lying side by side with yours at the printers! Let me know when you get yours.

Thanks Penguin!

Well a final UPDATE

I got my visa today , I swear I nearly hopped on the post girl as soon as she got out of her van!

Almost E1000 and 3 months later Im good to go! :dance:

The flights are booked, we are travelling on Monday cos its over E200 cheaper than flying on Sunday, it gives me one more day to get organized as well.

Cant wait!

I hope my story will help a few along the way, don't forget, no US earned income in the last few years could result in a request for a joint sponsor at Dublin Embassy!
