I almost didn’t complete this section because we don’t have anything that new to offer – our experience with Dublin Consulate was very similar to everyone else’s once we got to the interview.
There were however, a couple communication issues leading up the interview which added 11 days to the process.
- All the communication prior to the interview was directed to the US citizen rather than the applicant. This happened for Packet 3 (emailed to the US citizen) and Packet 4 (also via email), despite being told that the applicant would either receive Packet 4 via post or via a phone call advising them of the interview date and time.
- It was only discovered that the Packet 3 email was sent when we inquired as to why we had not heard anything. Again, this happened with Packet 4.
- We did not receive any emails initiated by Dublin; however, if they replied to our inquiry we received them no trouble.
- All responses from Dublin wer... read complete review

So my K1 visa interview was at 11am on 23rd Feb 2015. When you arrive at the embassy you go through security and hand over your phone, which they place in a small locker, then they give you an ID badge with a key to your locker.
After you go through security you go to into the main building to a large waiting room, where you are met by security guards who ask why you're there and tell you where you need to go.
In the waiting room there are hatches/windows numbered 1 to 4 on the right where you go to hand over your documents and pay the visa fee (I paid by postal order). Next to these there is a hatch/window where you have your interview (its very open and everyone can hear/see when you're being interview).
I arrived 45mins early and when I was handing over my documents I was told I'd have a long wait. The waiting area was full. Most of the people in there at that time were students applying for their J1 visas. When it got closer to 11am a couple more K1 visa interv... read complete review

Had my interview at 1pm and turned up 35 mins before at the entrance and told to come back at 12:45pm.
Arrived back at that time and had to line up in the freezing cold not too long a wait. security is the usual airport security.
Once inside had to get to a window and basically tell them who I was and they looked over my file. Was told I was missing a document for which totally put me off my focus as I had a certified copy of the original. At this point I was handed back my chest scans. I was the 2nd in line but was the first to be called as others had to pay fees.
I was called to the interview window after a couple of minutes of waiting. I was greeted by two woman who were very friendly. She reviewed my paperwork and reviewed all the taxes etc. Then got my finger prints scanned and swore everything was correct.
I was asked where I met my wife? When did we start our relationship? where does her family live? When I planned on moving to the US? What did my wi... read complete review

Had my interview on 2nd (Monday) at 1pm. I had mostly the same experience as everyone else so Im not going to repeat the same details. The biggest tip I can give any future applicants is to pay the fee in USD. I stupidly used euros and because the exchange rate fluctuates so much the fee in euros jumped a fair bit. The total fee for 2 applicants (myself and my son on the letter was €456 - the fee on the day was €478).
There were 4 people for the interview and they seem to call us by the order we arrived. Unfortunately because I did not have the exact amount for the fee I had to wait for the cashier to come back with change and this bumped me back to the end of the queue. At the time this didnt seem like such a big deal as there were only 4 of us but the person before me got grilled at the counter for well over 45 minutes so my total time at the embassy ended up being 2 hours (if I had been in the original place in the queue it would have been done and dusted in... read complete review
