Oh you can visit!! Oh I remember you!!!! So if you have any concerns (not that you should) I’d recommend going through Dublin’s preclearance. It’s a dream I found to go through

That's awesome! Just be sure to get added to their cancellation list. The medical slowed me down by 4-6 weeks. I'm not sure what their average waiting time are now. Knightsbridge are lovely :)

If you travel after submitting the DS-160, it might be a good idea to just relay that to the CO so they can update the DS-160.

But it shouldn't be an issue for the K-1 visa case.

Entry is still at the discretion of CBP.
