Dublin, Ireland CR-1

[TKP 0]

I can't seem to find any topics on the CR-1 in Dublin. All the interview reviews and help questions are K-1 through there. Has anyone any knowledge of the CR-1 interview procedure in Ireland?

Interview in a few weeks!!!!

I did an IR-1 through Dublin, by embassy/ interview review is on here, but that was in July 2008.

Ah cool. I am just nervous as our case is so very different to every other cr-1 as we filed through the NVC, not DCF, but we both live and work here in Ireland.

I got my interview notice, but they didn't ask me to send anything back to the embassy. Did you send something back, confirming etc? Also, fingerprints. What happens there. I have no request for a fee for the interview, but don't want to overlook anything, as I have read that most people have to pay something for the fingerprints.

Thanks

I had to pay a visa fee of 400 dollars the day of the interview, but you may already have paid that at NVC stage.

I didn;t send anything back, but I did bring the letter with the interview appointment with me, the security at the front gate wanted to see it.

Thanks Penguin. I'll just be sure to bring that then! I have one more question. As we are both living and working here, we have had to get a co-sponsor in the states, to meet the financial requirements. I have asked them to supply me with a new, up to date, set of files such as bank account details tax returns etc, as the original ones were sent nearly a year ago. What do I need to bring in terms of Financial documentation? Will they want to see my bank balance? I know I could bring the following, let me know if it's needed:

- Bank statement

- P60

- Pay stubbs

- Tax book for car

Anything else? We have an account in america, but to be honest there is very little money in it, as we have no use for it yet. Would I be wise to move some into that account before the interview, and show that statement?

THANK YOU!!!

If your co-sponsor makes comfortably over the poverty line, you don't need to show anything, and the P60 won't matter anyway as the Irish income will stop once you move to the USA. That being said, if you can do it without a major headache/ loss, having some money in a USC or joint US based account would probably look good and re-assure them, also in terms of proving you guys want to move to the USA asap. I showed both our Irish and US bank account, but that was because we didn't have a co-sponsor and did it all on assets.

You're up early!

Thank you for your help - I will bring the info on the bank account in the US, which does have some money in it. Our co-sponsor meets the requirements, so we should be fine. I guess i'm just worried because if they look at our case they will see that we don't have jobs lined up overthere (as we don't know if we can move yet) and while we have a place to live with my in laws we may really struggle for a while. Do you think they'd reject for the likes of this, despite having a co sponsor who meets the requirements. Surely that's the whole ppoint of a co sponsor!!

Thank you again!
