Thanks again everyone for your insights. After a little more back and forth and providing more proof of a few more wire transfers with significant funds over to my US account they have approved us and we got issued the visa a few days ago!! So if anyone is in this position, wiring funds might be a good way to prove intent if you need something further. However, as we've seen, it is totally dependent upon what consular officer will accept.

Many thanks for the suggestions! Yeah the more this drags on the more we are considering other options. Never thought it would be so tough for me to prove this after living in the US majority of my life! It's a wild ride, but appreciate the insights.

Yeah my mom and I have been in touch with State Rep in Pennsylvania but they haven't been able to do much except inquire about our case with the embassy - but no real progress has been made there. Thanks for your suggestions. I am still working in my Irish job as I just don't want to give up having a salary without knowing how much longer we will be waiting for this visa as accept in the end!

Thanks for the suggestion! I thought the sworn statement that my parents got notarized confirming we would live with them upon arrival in US would suffice as I saw someone else had done that and it was accepted - however I might have them draft up a lease as this may have a greater chance of being accepted by the officer. Thanks again!

Hi, I posted on another forum a few weeks back and had a few replies, but the embassy in Dublin is really putting us through the ringer so looking for more advice. My husband attended his IR-1 visa interview in Dublin 20th June, was refused based on needing more documentation, particular proof of my US domicile. Context - I am a US citizen, my Irish spouse and I got married in Ireland in 2021 and have been living here together the past few years, always with intention to come back to US to settle. I have submitted several documents but nothing has been approved: Bank statements - credit union, savings, checking, credit card, student loan, Roth IRA, investments My tax transcripts/returns Voting registration/voting records A notarized sworn statement from my parents confirming me and my husband will be residing with them upon our arrival in US. Valid PA Drivers License Proof of me wiring funds from Irish bank account to US bank account They don't give any feedback either, so hard to know what the issue is with our documents. It simply states, "document does not meet requirements, please delete" ?? I know people have mentioned applying for jobs in US while here in Ireland but I fear doing that too early before we know if and when my husband's visa is going to be approved. Any input from people in similar situations is greatly appreciated thanks

Hi, My Irish spouse had his interview yesterday at the Dublin Embassy. For context, we got married 3 years ago in Ireland and we both reside here. We didn't get approved as they were not happy with my proof of US domicile - I had uploaded/provided multiple bank statements for US accounts including my Roth IRA, as well as my valid PA drivers license, but the consular officer I guess wasn't happy with those even though NVC approved? Anyone have ideas of what else we can provide for this? Thanks a million.
