Visa expired before Point of entry

[Imran99 11]

Hi VJ family members 

I'm living in Ireland since 2017 and my wife is USC.we got married in 8 July 2018.

She applied cr1 visa and we got approved on

19 May 2021.

Our 2nd Marriage Anniversary is after exactly 30 days from today.

We decided to wait and get ir1 visa at poe.

 

My question is that My Ireland visa is going to be expired on 7 July 2021.

Exactly one day before 2nd Marriage anniversary.

We already book a ticket for 12 July 2021.

I'm travelling from Ireland to usa .

Is my expired Ireland visa is going to be an issue at poe???

Thanks in advance

Unlikely, but why burn that bridge?  What if you ever  want  to return to Ireland?

To renew my Ireland visa is not a problem but just the time.

After submitting your passport Ireland visa processing time taking 8 to 10 weeks and 2 weeks to return passport.

My cr1 visa expires  in start of September.

So I don't want to take risk.....

But will they give you a new visa after you overstayed? I think that's what @Jorgedig was going for

My question was different if you read carefully.

My question was that after overstayed 5 days in Ireland is it going to be a problem at poe??

Not a problem for the US. Just a problem if you ever want to return to Ireland.

this statement is under spouse visa on USCIS site (althought it doesn't make sense to me as immigrants intend to stay but it is there)

so your post here says Pakistan and you talking about Ireland passport .

so,  which passport has the visa stamp 

if on a Pakistan passport and valid till September,  you have time to renew the one from Ireland

Passport(s) valid for six months beyond the intended date of entry into the United States, unless longer validity is specifically requested by the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in your country. Please review the instructions for guidance.

My Pakistan passport has a visa sticker on it.

I'm just over worried. 

I think there are no any reasons for CBP to deny your entry if you have immigrant visa??

US won't care about your overstay in Ireland

It won’t be a problem at POE which will be in Ireland as CBP has preclearance stations in Irelabd.  
 

But why not  leave Irelabd on time and go to a third country for your second marriage anniversary.

If you married in 2018, then your 2 year anniversary was last year. Your timeline says 2019.

I read carefully. Like it was said before CBP won't care that you overstay your visa in Ireland. We just pointed out that if you overstay in Ireland they might won't give you a visa again to return there someday and that would be sad since you probably have friends there that you might want to visit again.

OK.  Thanks.  My wife entered the United States 30 days prior to our 2nd anniversary.  We, now, wish she had waited......

This is a really good idea. Leave Ireland on time, spend some days in a third country with the spouse, then enter the US. 

 

The possible hiccups I see are:

 

- how easy is it to obtain another visa to a third country

- any COVID test or quarantine requirements to enter that third country

 - how easy it is to get the COVID test that the US requires
