| Embassy Review : |
Great experience at the Embassy in Dublin. This will be quite throughout of a review as I relied on these pre-interview to ease my nerves so I'm trying to pay it forward. TL:DR at the end.
Interview was at 8am, arrived 7:50am and went through security without issues. Note that you can't have any electronic devices on you (phone, laptop, headphones etc) and it includes smart watches and airtags. I had a mechanical watch and they were fine with it as well as a tote bag full of my documents. Other folks inside had handbags/backpacks. Locker for your electronics at security is big enough to fit your phone and that's it. Attire on most folks was smart-casual.
Room where you have your interview is quite small and there's only a couple of chairs so be prepared to stand for a couple of hours if needs be. You through Admin Processing first, where they ask for the documents on the interview checklist - make sure it's originals, you'll get then back at the end. Once complete, you wait for your name to be called.
My wait was about an hour and half, roughly 4-5 folks in front of me. The interview is held at what looks like a bank teller window in the same room. The officer doing my interview was really nice. I was worried as I had been told not to try "chat" with them and be very serious but the man interviewing me asked questions in a genuinely friendly manner which made me feel more relaxed. I was asked to confirm basic details about myself and my spouse and then asked:
- how we met, when and where
- where did he live, where did i live
- what we both did for work
- has he ever lived here in ireland with me
- when did i plan to move to the us and where
Less than 15 minutes, tops. Said I was approved and congratulations, my passport would be ready for pickup in about 10 days and honestly after that I didn't hear much else of what he said cause I was so happy hahaha. In total I was there for 1hr 45mins. |

*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.
