Notice of Readiness Submitted to U.S. Dublin Embassy

[SPRF 5]

I recently submitted my Notice of Readiness to the Dublin embassy.

 

I see on a lot of Irish people's timelines that they generally receive their interview date shortly after they submit their notice. It only takes 2 days to receive it in a lot of cases.

 

I was wondering if I should be worried that I haven't received by interview date yet. It's been 4 days. I'm aware the embassy says to allow 6 weeks to hear back from them, but that doesn't actually appear to be the case for most people. Either way, is it safe to say I'll be having my interview sometime next month?

We are in the same situation. We submitted the notice of readiness on Saturday last and have yet to receive an email. I wonder if they are backed up or if I’ve missed something!

Well it's reassuring to know we're not the only ones waiting. It must just be a busy week for them. I hope you get your interview date soon : )

I submitted mine last Wednesday and got a response today that I'll be contacted mid September with an interview date and time. Didnt think it'd take such time to have interview date. Did anyone else get this?

Yep, I got the same email today: I'll be contacted mid September with an interview date. We're also disappointed that it won't be sooner, but fingers crossed the actual interview is before October.

I'm so disappointed also but more worried what changes to policy could happen between now and then Why do you say October, is that the validity date?

Yeah I just sent in my notice this morning and got an instantaneous reply almost saying they'd get back to me mid-september.  Looks like our interviews will be in October most likely.  Was really hoping for a September date but O well...we are almost there

Hmmm I'd love to know why we don't just get a date now even it if it's not until October. I'd feel more at ease with a definite date.

Yeah i don't know - perhaps theres a certain date where the month closes or perhaps all the september interview dates were already filled so they're waiting for them to be complete and processed before opening the next month - as we still need to confirm our date online, pay the visa fee and organise the courier etc for when the visa has been processed.  I wish we had a date but I'm happy enough taking a two week break from the paperwork madness that is this whole process  .  The interviews only seem to happen once or twice a month on a Tuesday.

Hoping this will be the week for us all to get our interview dates

Same. At least with the date we could plan some bit. I think the interviews are held only on two Tuesdays each month so going by the dates I've seen people post and what I heard from the Mater I reckon they'll be on 8th and 22nd October. But knowing that the process isn't as streamlined as previously anything could happen 😂

You guys have any luck yet? We've got our fingers crossed to hear from them Monday : )
