No luck yet - still waiting unfortunately! 10 weeks and counting... 

 

Wow that is atrocious. I am about 3 weeks behind you. Also it is strange because it looks like JessicaRazia DQ after you and has gotten an appointment in the last batch.

 

Have you an appointment at Mater?

[CaffeNeroGuy 20]

I wonder if it's because of the type of visa.

Received an email from the Dublin embassy on October 3rd with Packet 3 (k1 visa).

 

In it says to make a medical appointment first- called Mater and was informed next medical appointment isn't until Nov. 30th. Is there any way to expedite this? Perhaps a wait list if there is a cancellation?

 

Also about how long after embassy is notified of readiness is the interview?

 

Thanks everyone!

Hi,

If anyone can help me with the timeline, my visa was issued on the 4th October, but I am yet to here from the embassy with a tracking number. How long could that take as I was hoping to travel at the end of next week?

 

Thanks in advance

Quick question - do we have to bring along the previously completed original I130 forms (from USCIS stage) to the interview as well? We submitted everything online through rapid visa so we no longer have the actual forms that were scanned and submitted by RV. It wasn't mentioned to specifically bring them, but it does say to bring completed application forms? I'm a little confused. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I think the best you can do is call daily to check for cancellations

From what I have seen around here, it is between 5-10 working days from approval to receipt

This was a long time ago, my memory might not be correct. But I think we already sent in original documents with the i130?

 

I believe the only necessary documents to bring are the originals of documents submitted through NVC

My interview time was 7:45am and I was out of there at 9:15am. Interview lasted around 10 minutes. The longest part was queuing to hand over my documents and then waiting to be called to the interview desk.

Hi, my partner and I are applying for K1 visa. We received packet 3 from the Dublin embassy last week. Just wanted to ask a few questions here in case anyone knows the answer!

 

• We filled out the DS-160 after the NVC Sent notification, but before receiving packet 3. Is this a problem, and should we fill it out again now?
• How do we pay the DS-160 fee? Is there a separate visa fee (or any other fee) that we need to bring to the interview?
• We have applied for and received a medical appointment at Mater for the middle of February. Besides her passport, immunization records, photograph, and future US address, is there anything else we need to bring to that?
• Any other tips or tricks you think are important for us to know are greatly appreciated  

Thanks for the help!

My husband was given the thumbs up today at this interview that he'll be granted a green card. 

 

His medical was last week at Mater - the results weren't received yet, but the folks at the embassy indicated the results should be received soon and then his passport will be returned with the visa in 7-10 days. 

My husband noted that others present at the embassy were in the same boat with their medicals - results hadn't been received yet as they were executed recently. 

 

He was asked to present original documentation. Otherwise, they confirmed all required documentation was uploaded to CEAC. 

 

Interview time was at 8:00AM and he left by 8:45AM.

 

The interview questions included: 

• You were born outside of Ireland - do you have citizenship for that other country? 
• You worked previously outside of Ireland, what was your job? 
• Your spouse is your sponsor, is she still living in Ireland?
