What a relief to have that interview over with.
I arrived in Ballsbridge on the number 7 bus from Nassau street at 12pm. I was too early to start lining up so I took a walk around the area and tried in vain to find an internet cafe to check any last minute doubt I may have had about my paperwork. Mission failed, I grabbed a coffee and by 12.45 I was standing at the doors of the security checkpoint at the U.S. embassy.
I was invited to go through security check straight away with great ease. It was very busy in the embassy so I took my number and took a seat to wait in line.
First thing that was required was payment of the visa. Called up to the cashiers desk, I confirmed my name to a lady in the first booth and a very friendly man -in the next- took my payment of 240 dollars cash and I recieved a receipt and was asked to take a seat. About 20 minutes later, I was called up again to submit my paperwork. I submitted the following

Interview scheduled for 1pm. Arrived at 12.45, 5th in queue of about 15 people. Went through security around 1.10, they were nice and let me take a few bags in with me as I had a lot of documentation! They put my phone, headphones and water in a locker.
I was given a ticket when I entered the embassy, asked what type of visa I was applying for and told to take a seat. I was expecting a long wait but was called to a counter as soon as I sat down. A nice Irish lady asked me for the following documents: Passport, Birth Cert (I gave original but I think a copy would have done as she said I won't get it back), One passport photo (they never took the second one), Payment (I used Bank draft in Dollars), DS-230 Part 1, Form DS-156k (which she asked me to sign), and the i-129 with supporting info so gave her all the bank letters, letters of employment, wage slips, benefit printouts, and tax returns from the last four years. She looked through everything and then said that because... read complete review

We got approved at the interview on November 26th and we received the visa today in the post! Overall the interview was fine. Questions are below
- Where, when and how did ye meet?
- Why did ye decide to continue a long distance relationship?
- When and where did ye get married?
- Is your husband in America now? (This was asked in a couple of different ways)
- How many times has your husband been to Ireland?, how many times have you been to the states?
- Why have ye decided to move to the states?
- What is your husbands name (funny I know but when you are nervous the words fumble a bit). Who is your sponsor?
The Administrator is not very helpful at all. I, and everyone else had to rush out and get a bigger envelope. THE ENVELOPE SIZE IN THE INSTRUCTIONS POSTED OUT IS NOT BIG ENOUGH. You need a 14.5" x 18.5" (size K at An Post) envelope. Also there needs to be 12.50 euros worth of stamps on the envelope, not ... read complete review

My husband went to the US Embassy and waited for around 2 hours. Long story short, he was rejected because of my tax returns.
I made well above the 125% above poverty level, but almost half of that income was made outside of the United States. They only count the income you make in the United States.
I wish USCIS would have informed us of this 5 months ago when I sent in my tax returns! =( They then asked for a joint sponsor, which we did get but didn't want to have to get!
The Embassy kept his passport and said as soon as they received our joint sponsor's passport page copy they would continue processing the application.
So disappointing and I feel sorry for my husband because he said the woman he spoke with was very unpleasant, overly curt, and didn't take the time to answer all of his questions when he was just trying to figure out what our next steps should be.

OK so here we go... after exactly 8 months since Vermont received our petition, I had my interview finished an hour ago.
My interview time was 1 pm so I got there at 12:40. Went through the security check, left my phone and my keys in the locker and went to the main building for my interview. Got my ticket which was of no use as they were calling us by names but either way the security guy asks you to take one...
I sat down and after around 40 minutes maybe (had no watch on me but felt like forever) I was called to the window no 4 and asked for all the paperwork:
Birth Cert + translation
Police cert
I - 134, Letter from employer, Pay stubs
DS156 x 2
Pasport Photo x 2
DS156K
My passport
My medical (without the x ray)
Self addressed envelope with a stamp for €12.5
I have been given a receipt and asked to go to window no 5 to pay €204 visa fee. Then I have been asked to ... read complete review
