Bit of background here....

October 2012, while working on an L1 visa in Arizona, i decided to take a trip down to New Orleans, where I met a lady from NYC by the name of Ashley. We kept in touch and things gather pace, as they do.

Ashley came over to visit Ireland a few time and I visited New York quiet a bit. We chat daily on the phone and skype. I'm sure you've all been here.

In December 2013, We got engaged :D We then started discussing plans for Ashley to come to Ireland and live. Original plan was to live in Ireland for 2 years then move back to the US and start a family.

CHANGE OF PLAN #1

Things changed in April when she landed a good job so we decided I should get to the US as soon as possible. I was with my company 9 years at the time and fancied a change anyway so me moving made sense.

Started the K1 process in April but only got the petition approved late September, we had the wedding booked for November. So basically we ran out of time/didn't apply early enough

We had to scrap the K1 application

Sent in a letter cancelling the K1 application and then started the IR1 application. Plan was then that on receipt of the visa, I would quit my job and move over - we were looking at mid summer for everything to be complete and visa in hand.

CHANGE OF PLAN #2!

I changed my job at the end of February. Managed to get a job in the same industry ut at a higher grade for twice the money! So the first job site I get sent to is........ NEW YORK :dancing: . The job is 200 miles from Ashleys house, she lives with her parents, which is way better than 3000 miles across sea.

I have to emphasize that I have a B1 visa for this job and all is legal and above board. I'm an Irish citizen on site on a contract in the US.

So...... I'm in the garden on Saturday, like a good husband, trying to avoid my wife belting me with the shovel(marital bliss!!), when the mailman arrives with a letter telling us that the petition has been approved.

Onto the NVC -

my quesions are:

  1. How do I inform the NVS that I am in the US?
  2. Can I do the Visa interview in the US or do I need to return to my current place of full time residence in Ireland?

Thanks
