US Immigration from Ireland

Hello,

I put in an expedite first week of June and just heard back today. They said they are currently reviewing my case and to get in touch if I haven't received an answer in 30 days. From what I gathered its not up to the NVC, it is up to your local embassy, is that correct?

I feel like our chances are good since we've been at the NVC since April with all my husbands (applicant) documents approved since June. We just keep getting delayed at the NVC over silly stuff, signatures, them approving documents then going back and rejecting them for our joint sponsor, etc.

Our local embassy seems to be completely up to date and scheduling interviews 3-4 weeks after getting DQed.

I'd appreciate hearing anyone else experience with an expedite request, how long it took etc.

Thanks a million

Hi There,

I have had several extremely frustrating calls with USCIS agents and bots recently.

Long and short is: I apparently have my Biometrics Appointment next Friday. It is part of i751 to remove conditions on my CR-1.

However, I have still not received an appointment letter. The lady on the phone last week said it was sent the previous Friday. The lady on the phone yesterday said no mail had been sent.

Of course, when I asked about this discrepancy she gives me the story of how she cannot help me. Seemingly oblivious to the ridiculousness of two people working for the same division, having completely conflicting reports.

What do I do? The second lady kept telling me to download the form from the MyUSCIS account but I kept telling her, there was no documents tab... Just complete and utter s**t show from these folks at USCIS

Are the processing times different depending on if your basis of married for 3 years versus PR for 5 years? My husband is both (we ve been married 6 years and he s been a PR for 5) so I just applied based on the 5 years because they don t ask for as much paperwork but now wondering if the 3yr ones are being processed faster - seems like this could be the case from peeking at some timelines. Does anyone know?

Hey everyone,

So my case is a bit unusual. It's an employment based immigrant visa petition (EB-3). My case has been documentarily qualified by the NVC since November 2020.

Has anyone else from Ireland recently gone through consular processing for an employment based green card, or going through the process at present?

Would love to hear from people in any of the main EB categories (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3) especially, and if you wouldn't mind sharing your timelines and interview dates that would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Jonathan

Hey there,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me here. I rang the NVC and have our case and invoice number, when I checked it online they said I need to fill out the DS-160 to take it to the consular level. However, the instruction seems to be to wait until I hear from the embassy in Dublin. Was hoping someone who has recently been through this in Dublin could let me know
