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 were very quick, often the same day.
In the end, all was fine we even got to have the interview a day early. The original interview date was for a Tuesday, the embassy rang the Friday before to ask if they could move the interview up to Monday – due to a large number of J-1s being processed. The K1 was received 2 days after CEAC status changed to “Issued.”
We share this to alert you to follow up with Dublin IV if you do not hear from them promptly after CEAC status changes to “Ready” and after you return Packet 3.
