Was waiting for 2 hours before being called into the interview. It was a nerve wrecking wait as people who got there after us were being called before us.. couldn't work out their system!
The interview went very smoothly, the interviewer we got couldn't have been nicer and even made a few jokes throughout the interview. I didn't need medical exam because I did it for the K1. Interviewer also stated because we already went through the K1 she wouldn't have a lot of questions for us regarding our relationship. The only questions asked were..
What is your wife's full name?
Her profession?
Where is she from?
Her birth date?
Her fathers name?
Where does she have a checking account?
What is your husband's full name?
Where is he from?
His birth date?
His mother's name?
Where does he have a checking account?
One thing I was missing that she asked for was a letter from my job proving my employment. I had brought documentation from my job with health insurance info on it because I have listed my husband as my beneficiary. Since it had the company header on it she accepted that as sufficient evidence. |

Originally sent application 08-30-2018 and received a denial on 09-10-2017 for the reason of missing information - I believe USCIS must have lost a page in our application. |

| Embassy Review : |
I was extremely lucky that I was given an interview appointment after they had a cancellation. When in contact with the embassy regarding my appointment I asked them to please put me on a cancelation list, the following Monday morning I got a call to say they had a cancellation for the next day and I took it.
The interview was very quick and relaxed. I was in and out of there in around 30/40 mins. The questions were all very conversational, I was quite nervous going in but everyone there made me feel very at ease. All of my answers were honest and never questioned further, he just responded with simple nods and okay. I was told I was approved there and then!!
Some questions I was asked (that I can remember)
• Explain how you met and the progression of your relationship.
• Why did I choose to move to the U.S. and not him choosing to move to Ireland?
• Do we have any wedding plans?
• What is my work and what work will I plan to do over there?
• What do my parents think of me moving over to the U.S. to be with him?

*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.
