US Immigration from Ireland

Hey there,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me here. I rang the NVC and have our case and invoice number, when I checked it online they said I need to fill out the DS-160 to take it to the consular level. However, the instruction seems to be to wait until I hear from the embassy in Dublin. Was hoping someone who has recently been through this in Dublin could let me know

Hi there,

My CR1 visa was approved in April but as I m a teacher I wanted to wait until the end of the school year to fly to NYC so planning to fly on the 24th of July.

It seems as though I may have secured a job to start at the end of August, but interviewed assuming that my Greencard would arrive soon after arrival. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to arrive? Is it true that I will not be able to start work until I receive it?

Is there anything that I need to have with me aside from my passport with visa page? I know previously you needed to take an envelope with medical details but I think that has moved online now?

Thank you,

Caroline

Hi All,

The previous Dublin interview topic have been a huge support throughout our journey and I am glad to say that I have made some new friends during this pandemic over the last several months on this forum. So, a huge shoutout to the admins and the general community here! Its been quite helpful.

As we move forward in this journey I wanted to create this topic for our recent Irish immigrants who have been able to move to US in recent times and share experiences related to receiving their green card/permanent residency card and/or SSC card and how have they been dealing with settling down i.e. opening bank account, applying for drivers license etc.

I am in touch with a few folks from previous thread but thought this public info will be useful for the rest of us.

So has anybody who recently moved received their green card yet? We moved about a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything yet.

Hi everyone!!

I m looking for some shared experiences / knowledge!

I have an L-1 non-immigrant visa interview scheduled for September in Dublin. Does anyone know if these standard non-immigrant visa interviews are currently going ahead? Is this likely to be cancelled closer to the time?

To me, the website seems fairly unclear if they have actually resumed processing at a limited capacity, or if they are still cancelling these non-immigrant interviews as they approach. The recent block cancellations in London has made me wonder if my September date is actually expected to go ahead or if it's just a hopeful pencil in.

Thank you all!

My husband was arrested during a traffic accident 3.5 weeks ago. Still no charges filed -- he has called twice and they have nothing to say--just nothing in the system yet. It's possible no charges will be filed. Do we indicate that he was arrested? No fingerprints or anything were taken, but he was taken to jail and then released....I don't want to LIE and not include it, but they say to have a letter from the court if no charges were filed, and I have zero idea how to get that. His GC expires 9/26 so we want to send the i-751 in the week after next (start of the 90 day window). Any advice?

The question is:
