Hey everyone,

 

Thank you for this great site! I have search alot and cant find a solid answer.

 

Myself and my wife (American) but live in ireland but we learn't that you can direct consular filing in the U.S embassy in Dublin. Is this true and if so, does anyone have any experince on how it went. Also any guides on how to go about filling it in Dublin.

 

 

Thank you so much

Do you have an exceptional circumstance?  You can always contact the immigrant visa unit and explain why you need it.

Hey Paul & Mary,

 

Thank you so much for replying

 

Nope we are both here but would like to get back to the states sooner the better. I know with covid 19 it might take longer. So when we heard we could possiby DCF in Dublin (We got married here too), just want to check if it was possible and if so how to go about it

You have to have a reason such as needing to get back to the US because of a job offer / transfer.  DCF without a reason is no longer an option.  Dublin never had DCF without a reason - no USCIS International Field Office.

No USCIS field office in Dublin. You'd have to have exceptional circumstances and proof of that to proceed with consular processing there. Marrying abroad and living there is not enough.
