US Immigration from Ireland

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

Hi there,

My CR1 visa was approved in April but as I m a teacher I wanted to wait until the end of the school year to fly to NYC so planning to fly on the 24th of July.

It seems as though I may have secured a job to start at the end of August, but interviewed assuming that my Greencard would arrive soon after arrival. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to arrive? Is it true that I will not be able to start work until I receive it?

Is there anything that I need to have with me aside from my passport with visa page? I know previously you needed to take an envelope with medical details but I think that has moved online now?

Thank you,

Caroline

Hi All,

The previous Dublin interview topic have been a huge support throughout our journey and I am glad to say that I have made some new friends during this pandemic over the last several months on this forum. So, a huge shoutout to the admins and the general community here! Its been quite helpful.

As we move forward in this journey I wanted to create this topic for our recent Irish immigrants who have been able to move to US in recent times and share experiences related to receiving their green card/permanent residency card and/or SSC card and how have they been dealing with settling down i.e. opening bank account, applying for drivers license etc.

I am in touch with a few folks from previous thread but thought this public info will be useful for the rest of us.

So has anybody who recently moved received their green card yet? We moved about a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything yet.
