Our visa journey is finally complete! Ciaran had his visa interview at the US Consulate in Dublin on Friday, Sept 5. He got to the consulate and had to wait a long time, spoke to two different immigration officers who asked how we met, and that was it! Then the second officer gave him his visa and his packet and he was on his way! The whole thing lasted about 2.5 hours. I am picking Ciaran up from the Chicago O'Hare airport today, and he is here to stay!

The visa interview appointment was a bit of a non-event. You know when you prepare for all eventualities, double check everything, hold your breath and then... it is much less difficult than you thought!
My appointment was at 1pm, so I arrived at 12.30pm, and was told to come back at 1pm, they wouldn't let me in beforehand. An old lady was there at the same time and they wouldn't let her in either, not even to the benches inside the security hut, so I walked her to the bus stop bench 50 yards away. Turns out she is 98 and wants to visit the US one last time (she used to be a green card holder). I hope I am that fit mentally and physically at that age! Went back at 1pm, handed over my mobile (cell) phone for them to keep in the security hut, and went to the visa section. There was only myself, an Indian man who I think was there for a work visa, and another gentleman applying for a spousal visa who had to return because he needed to file a waiver.
When I we... read complete review

Interview on 10 June for K1 visa
Arrived 25 minutes early, told to come back as they were closed for lunch
Went through security...waited.
Waited some more.
Waited...and got called. Paid.
Sat down again (I was glad I brought a book!)
Called again.
Handed in paperwork, very straightforward. but glad I went by VJ guidelines, as it meant that that I Had my DS 156K thanks to this site (I wouldn't have had it otherwise).
Sat down again and waited...then: Game On
Interview lasted oh, 10 minutes (I did have tons of pics from M's 18 months here, emails etc, plenty of evidence). Questions very straightforward. Visa approved, told to call back to collect it - name and phone no supplied by staff to arrange pickup.
Overall, I'd say pretty good, but I was left wondering what was actually going on occasionally. The place wasn't ... read complete review

Aidan had his interview at 1 p.m. He arrived about 10 minutes early. When he first got there they had all the people for visa interviews queue up to give your name and then they called you by name up to the counter. The person looks at all your paperwork and sends you to another counter to pay the fee. He sat and waited to be called again for his interview. His interview took about 10 minutes and the guy asked basic questions (when are you getting married, where, asked where my father lived, when did we start thinking about marriage). He said the people were nice. After the interview he waited about an hour to get his visa. The whole process took about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
