Hi everyone, This is my first time posting on this site- I am in the process of applying for a K-1 Visa

Presently I have recieved documents from the US embassy in Dublin and am told to Fill out the DS-230 and send it off to them as soon as possible...

The only thing is that I have visited my fiancee on a number of times, have had J1 Visa's and have overstayed a holiday 90 day visa in the states

I have lost my passport though and am not 100% sure of dates of entry or exit to the states.. does anyone have any words of advise for me- also does anyone know A time frame of how ling the process should be from here?

I would really appreciate any guidance anyone can give me..

Looking forward to someone, anyone Please!!

Hi there! You're new here? Welcome?

Let's take your post over to the Foreign Embassy and Consulate Forum where you might get a better answer. You've put your question in a forum for people who aren't as far along in the process yet.

Try to find out dates through some other means like contacting the airline you flew on or and creadit card puchases you did those days and such, make sure you mention your overstay and there is nothing worse then mis-representation.

How are you? I'm from Ireland and got my Visa in December. I was really blessed and the whole thing took about 4 months for me! File all the paper at once in one packet. One tip i would give you is get the police report done now as that was the one thing that delayed me. Ant questions at all please post it and i'll look out for it. Whatever you do dont stress, it can take time will long waits but it will go through.

I'd recommend writing more or less what you wrote here. For example "one visit in the first half of 2005, approximately three and a half months...". You don't have to emphasize your overstay They are probably only looking for overstays of over 180 days - those that would trigger a ban.

also does anyone know A time frame of how ling the process should be from here?

That depends mainly on you Be sure to make a doctor appointment as soon as possible - the next available date may be in a month or so. Also, when you send all the paperwork to the embassy, wait a week or two and call them. Otherwise you may wait a long time for your interview date.

And do not worry. The US Embassy staff in Dublin are really nice and helpful - at least those in the immigrant visa section. Good luck!
