They've been doing US immigration in Ireland a long time, and visas are processed right there too. They tend to be very nice and some people like it because they can enjoy the flight in peace then, knowing they can run into their loved ones arms at the other end.Some reviews here: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/poereviews.php?poe=Dublin%2C+Ireland&dfilter=0

Hi (or hej),

I boarded in Dublin, although with a K-3 and not K-1 last November.

Back then I had to go thru the immigration in Chicago (unless I'd have flewn from Shannon).

If they have changed it there (I don't know how they'd actually fit the immigration at the airport there) then you may be able to go thru it already in Dublin.

However... I don't see anything about them having changed the process at least on the airport's website

http://www.dublinairport.com/at-airport/latest-news/

http://www.dublinairport.com/at-airport/customs_and_immigration.html

I'd say it's worth to call or email the airport to double-check before booking the flights

If you will then go the immigration on the US side, planning something like 3+ hours for the next flights (if you have to change) where you arrive should suffice. Lycka till!
