Congratulations 🎊🎊. So happy for you. If you don’t mind, kindly share your experience when you get settled. I am still waiting for an interview date, fingers crossed.

Goodluck on y’alls interviews today!!!

Hey everyone! Just posting this as a public cry to anyone here that has gone through/is going through the K1 visa process via the US Embassy in Dublin, Ireland to kindly share their timelines I know there isn’t a ton of info out there about how things move in Dublin (seriously, it’s like a black hole 🥺🥹🥺), so I’m hoping to gather a few case timelines to maybe see a pattern. Please share When you submitted your Notice of Readiness (NoR) When the embassy responded/sent Packet 4 And when your interview was scheduled for The wait is brutal right now and I’m just trying to get a sense of what to expect. Any insight would be massively appreciated 🫠 Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone in this crazy process! 💌💍

Wow, I’m so happy for you guys. We sent our NOR as soon as he got his sealed medical report on Monday 26/05/2025. We hope to hear back soon. Really can’t wait to see him , the wait is exhausting. Congratulations once again, and It would be really helpful if y’all can fill out your timelines. Thank you 🙏🏽.

No, it just says to email the scanned NOR to DublinIV.

I haven’t sent my notice of readiness.

I replied the initial welcome email they sent. So the subject line was RE:U.S. Embassy Dublin - K1 Visa Application. They sent me the instruction attachment I requested(it wasn’t attached to their initial welcome email).

Hi all, just an update, we got a reply with the attachment very early this morning. Has anyone also heard back from them? (Specifically about y’all Nors)?

We filed on 08/30. You can check my profile to see my timeline details.

Thank you so much for clearing my worries. I really hope they respond to you soon.

Thank you. This so helpful, we will keep reaching out to them. also to confirm, the other names used doesn’t show up on the police certificate right? We just need to have it on the application form. Cause the certificate had just his current names even though we put his other names used in the application form.

My fiance went for his medical this week (a day before the embassy contacted us). But the email from the embassy stated that we need to send them the date for the medical when we book it. I really hope we haven’t made a mistake by doing the medical in advance. Was there any specific reason why they asked your fiancé to notify them of his medical date?🥺🥺

Yes, The one with the medical/police report instructions. If it does not have any applicant specific information, do you mind sharing it? So we can have an idea of what we have to get in order since it looks like they take ages to reply.

Hi, just wondering if either of you has been able to get a response from the embassy. We got the instructions email from them yesterday but the actual instructions document wasn’t attached to the email, i replied the email immediately to let them know but no response yet. I feel like i’m in a limbo which is so frustrating. I will appreciate any insight you both can share on this issue. Thank you.

Thank you. He was given polio not pertussis. I attached a picture of the vaccination card he was given.

We will do that right away. Thank you so much. We will do that right away. Thank you🙏🏽

No we did not receive a DS-3025 atleast not yet. That’s why we are unsure about where we stand.

Thank you for your quick reply, he hasn’t taken a Tdap vaccine in the last 10 years. He wasn’t given any document from the panel physician, our guess is he’s going to get that when he goes to pick up his report package. Guess we will just work on getting him take the Tdap. Thank you once again!

Hi everyone! I’m in the process of helping my fiancé prepare for his K-1 visa, and we recently encountered a little uncertainty regarding the medical exam and vaccinations. He had his medical exam today, and we learned that the facility doesn’t administer vaccines, so he went ahead and got the MMR, Hep B, and DTP(diphtheria, tetanus, & polio) vaccines (instead of the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) yesterday. We realized that he still might be missing the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine. The doctor was impressed that he was proactive, and said he didn’t need the pertussis vaccine for his visa, but we’re not sure if that applies just to the K-1 visa or the whole Adjustment of Status (AOS) process. We really want to make sure everything is squared away now to avoid any extra costs later when he comes to the U.S. For anyone who is around the same age (27 or so) and recently went through the K-1 or AOS process, could you share if you were required to get the pertussis vaccine (as part of the Tdap)? Or if it wasn’t necessary for the visa process? Thanks so much for any insight you can provide!

Thank you. We got approved on 02/20. And got our NVC case number today.

You’re very welcome. I am glad i was able to help. Our case is also processing through the embassy in Ireland. We got sent to DOS on 03/31 and currently waiting for next steps. If you don’t mind, can you kindly update your timeline or kindly send it as a reply. I see you got noa2 on 02/27 When was your case sent to DOS, when did you receive your case number and when did it get in transit. Thank you!

I think the NOR is attached to the embassy welcome package they sent to you detailing the instructions and such.

I checked mine and it’s the same for me, my case is the only one pending, I hope all is well🥺Trying to stay optimistic but it gets harder day by day

I never received NOA1, i filed August 30. I only received a text since i filed G1145 and that was it. I reached out to them to ask for the NOA1 and I was told no notice was outstanding for me.

I never received an Noa as well. However, about a week after I submitted i got a text message acknowledging the receipt and showing my case number.
