Hello everyone! Sorry for the late reply I just logged on today. We put our house up for sale the minute our plane touched down from Montreal and this week has been a whirlwind!!!! Hard to believe it's only been a week it feels like a lifetime. Husband's visa arrived at loomis Thursday and we picked it up yesterday. There is the "do not open" envelope, and in his passport a full page color sticker with his photo and all the details, very official looking. Can't wait to move and get our life back on track again.

That is great. I wish you all the very best for the future.

What kind of proof would they need? I can't book flights until we have visa in hand and my husband is broad with me? lol

Hi sorry it took me so long to go back and read the posts, I am still WAY behind since our move! You should read up on domicile requirements. Does your husband still maintain a US postal address and drivers license? Can you provide proof that his time abroad was temporary or if he has accommodation and a job lined up upon his return? The embassy in Ireland may not be as strict with domicile requirements, they are in Canada I have heard.

I didn't have any problem with the US domicile issue at the Montreal Consulate. :thumbs:

My CO didn't even look at my US domicile documents! :star::star::star:

However, I'm still waiting for the visa since my interview on Monday! :dead::dead::dead:

OMG! It's been a LONG weekend! LOL! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

It's ironic that this nightmare continues even after I got approved at the interview. :no:

It's better for you two wait until three weeks prior to the interview or else they will delay giving you the results back. My husband took his medical exactly three weeks before the interview and they didn't give him the medical reports until a week before the interview. It's better to wait.

Does the status change on ceac back to paid once the file is shipped or received by the local embassy??

Ours did when it shipped from NVC. Not sure if it was exactly when it shipped, but the status changed to in transit, so it was not when it was received at consulate.
