    I think the things that sealed the deal for us in Dublin were: -my offer letter confirming my internal transfer with my company I.e. an offer for a U.S. role. as the petitoner -One way plane tickets -Paid movers deposits -Deposit paid to my daughter’s new daycare Unfortunately, it seems Dublin is being quite picky on the domicile stuff these days and folks are having to make actual financial commitments to satisfy the requirements, if they aren’t willing/able to go ahead of the spouse back to the U.S. That is, of course, also an option although I realize it’s less than ideal. I’m not sure if this site has a private message function but if so, please feel free to reach out if you want to chat more about this.

    Yes so after they got my husband’s medical report results they sent an email to him asking for his passport to be sent back and that’s where the link was with the form that can be printed to be scanned by dpd. So keep an eye out for that and you should be good to go then to send in the police cert and passport!

    So if the embassy requested you send your passport back, there should be a link in the request email that takes you to a portal where you print off a form with your name on it as well as a tracking number and a barcode for dpd to scan. The cost of the shipment back to the embassy is then paid for. That’s probably the form they are looking for. Otherwise I do think you can mail it back just like in general, but you’d still want to include the letter in the envelope so the embassy has your tracking details. I’d go back to their request email and see if you see the link for the portal.

    Wow, it’s about time! NVC was quick enough when we did it, so if you’ve got all your docs organised I think you’ll make up for some lost time there. Good luck and congrats!

    Hi all, my husband had his green card interview this morning and was approved pending his medical exam. Thanks to everyone who provided advice about how to navigate this process when you're the sponsor living overseas with the beneficiary. I think this advice is the reason we got approved on the spot! He said in the end they asked him minimal questions and it was very anticlimactic lol.

    Hi, this was the Dublin embassy. The expedite was never processed since we got a standard interview date scheduled while it was still pending, so I don't know what the full steps would be. As appleblossom said above though, just follow the directions on the link she shared and that's essentially how it works!

    We got an interview letter on May 2nd so about 3.5 months after DQ to letter.

    Thanks for that feedback, I think we uploaded our ESD from revenue but if not I’ll pop that on next week. I’m currently paying the movers deposit, booked the pet transport, and hopefully putting a deposit on daycare next week. We’re gonna throw the book at them with planning docs thanks to your feedback! Trying to get an employer letter about the transfer but we’ll see - a lot of our US HR is outsourced to South America so not sure how likely I am to get a wet ink signature letter from them but I’m gonna try 😵‍💫

    Holy , thank you so much for the heads up and yeah what an effing nightmare. I guess I have 3 weeks at least to try and pull some of this together? Ugh. We do have a mover planned, guess I better pay that invoice lmao. I could get the employer letter too I suppose, but I'll have to hustle to get that turned around in time. Projects for tomorrow I guess! Ugh ugh ugh.

    We got an interview appointment this afternoon, so hopefully yours is coming through imminently as well. They didn’t respond to our expedite yet, it appears this was just part of the normal scheduling process.

    Received our interview appointment this afternoon from NVC for June 6th. Check your emails if you were DQ’d around the same time (Jan 25th)

    Hey! Nothing yet. I sent in an expedite request last week and the NVC forwarded it to the embassy last Tuesday. Still waiting to hear back on that. Seems like most embassies respond to expedites really quickly but of course Dublin has taken a week so far 🙄
  20. ak89
    Yes I’ll keep this page updated! We are actually being evicted at the end of August so I’m going to try and expedite for financial hardship. A long shot but we have to try at least. I did try emailing the NVC to ask why the hell they gave interview letters this month to people DQ’d in March instead of January, since it’s the exact opposite of their stated rule which is first in first out based on DQ date. They of course emailed back with a copy paste response to say that they schedule interviews FIFO and were in the queue. Completely useless.
  21. ak89
    FYI to those still waiting for interviews - I’ve come across the details of other people who DQ’d in March and got interview letters last Friday. So, appears the whole first in first out shtick that the NVC tells us all is a lie as a bunch of folks have been skipped - color me surprised lol.
  22. ak89
    Sorry, should have included that! I am a citizen. The CEAC portal just says it’s at NVC. We were DQ’d January 25th.
