US Immigration from Ireland

First, The NVC Process Wiki seems to incorrectly label (via underline) "AOS" in step six as "Adjustment of Status" when I believe it's meant to be read as "Affidavit of Support."

Second, in relation to the underlining/defining/highlighting of acronymed terms, I find them handy as I am still learning the lingo/shorthand myself, but they aren't expansive. Acronym Summary Page lists AOS as meaning both Adjustment of Status AND Affidavit of Support, but the underlined only lists the former. AP, which follows, similarly has two meanings, but isn't underlined at all. Would it be too much trouble to expand the acronyms that are defined via hovering with the cursor?

Third, similar to the other thread on showing dates on searched threads, I think it'd be helpful to have a "current as of [date]" note at the top of each wiki/guide, for the same reason that immigration info seems to be always changing.

A final request/suggestion: a feature that would allow us to save threads, that doesn't involve following. I currently use a mixture of following threads, bookmarking pages, and emailing the links to myself to keep threads I want to reference later. Being able to privately organize the saved threads would be a nice feature too, like being able to tag or put into different holding containers. For example, if I have a number of threads I reference related to the NVC process, I could put it under an NVC container. This also seems like it could be a thing that is satisfied by the follow feature that I just need to learn, but following to me seems like something one does to active threads, not to old threads.

Please forgive me/correct me if the stuff I'm going on about already has a solution or a workaround; these are just some of the things I'm picking up on now that I've been on here a few months. I'm growing to really enjoy this site, so please don't take this as complaining or anything of that sort. Thank you to everyone who has had a hand in keeping this such a good resource for those of us on this confusing and lengthy journey!

Finally got past the petition stage (only took a year!), yay!

My case has now been sent to the NVC. They have recorded my Foreign State of Chargeability as UK (I assume because I was born in Northern Ireland) but I have an Irish passport (due to the unique situation of nationality within Northern Ireland) and I requested in the petition to have my interview in Dublin. The NVC, for some reason, have put London as my interview location.

Can I:

a) attend the London consulate on my Irish passport for my interview?

or

b) get the NVC to change the interview location?

I sent them an email but they are slow to reply.

Thoughts much appreciated,

Thanks

I just got word that my U Visa got approved! anyone been through this? what should i expect from this point onwards? Thanks.

Hi all

I asked about changing location a few weeks ago but after researching it I am unsure if I need to change the location. I have both British and Irish citizenship and I was originally living in Ireland when applying for the k1. I am moving to the UK (Northern Ireland) temporarily due to work circumstances, do I now need to change to the London embassy or can I stay with Ireland as I have citizenship there? I thought you had to go where you live but I understand that you could be living somewhere but not have residency and would have to go back to your country of origin for the interview at the embassy. Does anyone have experience of this? As I am moving to Northern Ireland the Irish embassy in Dublin is only two hour drive away whereas the London embassy is on a different island so a little harder to get to. Also I have so far been using my Irish passport so would this make any difference? I also have a British passport.

TIA

Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone is having the same problem as me. My CR1 visa interview was supposed to be in the Dublin Embassy in January but was cancelled because of Covid. I now have an interview next Wed 24th March but they have said that I'll need a new police certificate - The Garda told me it was valid for 12 months. I've been back in touch with the Garda Station and they said it could take 3 weeks for the new certificate so it's looking like I won't have it for my interview. Will they accept the document after interview do you think or will I just be refused?

Also I have to bring my medical report but the earliest the Mater Private could give me was the day before the interview so it's unlikely that they'll have the results in time.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thank you
