US Immigration from Ireland

Hi There,

I have had several extremely frustrating calls with USCIS agents and bots recently.

Long and short is: I apparently have my Biometrics Appointment next Friday. It is part of i751 to remove conditions on my CR-1.

However, I have still not received an appointment letter. The lady on the phone last week said it was sent the previous Friday. The lady on the phone yesterday said no mail had been sent.

Of course, when I asked about this discrepancy she gives me the story of how she cannot help me. Seemingly oblivious to the ridiculousness of two people working for the same division, having completely conflicting reports.

What do I do? The second lady kept telling me to download the form from the MyUSCIS account but I kept telling her, there was no documents tab... Just complete and utter s**t show from these folks at USCIS

Are the processing times different depending on if your basis of married for 3 years versus PR for 5 years? My husband is both (we ve been married 6 years and he s been a PR for 5) so I just applied based on the 5 years because they don t ask for as much paperwork but now wondering if the 3yr ones are being processed faster - seems like this could be the case from peeking at some timelines. Does anyone know?

Hey everyone,

So my case is a bit unusual. It's an employment based immigrant visa petition (EB-3). My case has been documentarily qualified by the NVC since November 2020.

Has anyone else from Ireland recently gone through consular processing for an employment based green card, or going through the process at present?

Would love to hear from people in any of the main EB categories (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3) especially, and if you wouldn't mind sharing your timelines and interview dates that would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Jonathan

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
