To be brutally honest, I am so jealous of you guys being able to return home to early. I still have to wait until at least end of September before my wife and I can head home (even though our interview is scheduled to be in July). We would like to wait until our marriage at least 2 years at the time my wife sets foot in the US to secure that permanent green card. We don't want to deal with these hassles ever again.

You must be very happy right now . Any celebration ?

Jesus. if we had to wait for the two-year mark, we'd be insane. It would be late September 2014!

Yes, we estimate he will be home by the end of the month, then he'll be getting over jet lag for the next week, then July 4, off July 5, and I took off the whole next week for some private time, which the boss is OK with.

No hard questions. "How does she pronounce her name?" "Does she still work at [company]?" "Where did you meet? Online? What site?" "What do you plan to do for work when you get to the US?" "Where do you plan to live?" "Do you know where to go to get your passport delivered?" That's about it.

By the way, you will have your interview at DBL (Dublin) if the intending immigrant is a citizen of the ROI. If they are an NI citizen then they will interview at LND (London).

Ha,ha, just kidding about the hard questions. I actually don't expect them to ask us much. Sometimes based on people's reactions in Dublin, you would think this was the most remote part of the whole wide world, like they're not sure it's part of the ROI, etc. I would expect better from the embassy people, but based on previous experience.....The idea that there might be Mexicans here just blows their minds!
