US Immigration from Ireland

Hi everyone,

We just received an email a few minutes ago from the US Embassy in Dublin. It looks like the wheels are starting to move again for K1 applicants in Ireland!

Hi everyone,

My fiance and I are currently awaiting approval of our i-129f and recently welcomed our beautiful child into the world. My question is whether I am exempt from the travel plan as I am her parent? I do have a valid ESTA. She has US citizenship by crba from her father but lives with me in Ireland and we want to travel to see her dad.

Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with obtaining a police certificate from Hong Kong (from abroad)?

The HK police state they will only send the certificate to "the relevant Consulate / Immigration Authority / Government Authority".

• Should this be sent to the NVC or to the embassy where I would be undertaking my interview (in my case Dublin)? I've tried to get in touch with both but I haven't heard back yet they're understandably busy.
• Either way I am assuming I should upload the receipt along with an explanation as to why the cert itself is missing?
• If I need to send it to the embassy, the only letter I have is my email from the NVC. Do I need anything from the embassy to state that they require it? Or did anyone just send a copy of their email along with the address of the relevant embassy?

Any advice from someone who has gone through the process would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone.

So after a long wait, almost 1 year, 223 days to be exact. We finally got the letter today from NVC stating they have sent our information to the Consulate in Dublin to complete our K1 processing since being open on DEC 1 from lockdown there. I am wondering if anyone knows how long it takes for Embassy there to receive the information and send the Welcome letter? Does anyone have an idea? and how long until interview is scheduled at that point as well. Thanks! And best of luck to all of you waiting !

I had my 2nd interview yesterday after my first. The CO had 3 follow up questions for me and then at the end he said I cannot say that I have approved you now but i just need to verify one information and will make a decision. He kept my passport and assured me that he will process my application fast and apologized for delaying my application. What does this mean for someone who has experienced the same, please?
