Consulate Review: Dublin, Ireland Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 4, 2015 Embassy 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 under an hour). My own interview lasted around 10 minutes or less. I was asked - How I met my fiance? When did we meet in person? Where did he stay when he arrived? Did I visit him in the US? Describe his house? Did I meet his family? Did he meet my family? Did my sons dad have any issue with us leaving? I was then told I was approved. Apart from the hiccup with the fee my overall experience was a good one and found the people at the embassy friendly. Best of luck to all future applicants (updated on February 4, 2015) Rating : Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
