Review Topic: K1 Visa

I got to the embassy at 13:00, there was a little queue at the gate and it was so cold outside the guard let us wait inside while everyone was processed.
When i got into the embassy i was given a ticket and asked to wait. I was 5th in the queue.

After a short amount of time i was called to a window and asked to give the cashier the postal order for 91.70
I sat down again.

About 10 minutes passed and i was called up again and i had to hand in my police reports, birth certificate (& photocopy), affidavit of support, medical papers and DS-156/k. I was a little nervous about not having brought the x-ray as everyone else had but they had no interest in it.

They asked me did i have the stamped addressed envelope (which by the way was never mentioned in any correspondence - i read about it on this website!). I showed her what i had brought and she informed me it was not large enough. They needed one that was 12"x14". As it turned out,... read complete review

I wish to Declare that the information i am about to provide in this review is true and authentic to the best of my knowledge. However, i do not take any responsibility; whether for hurting somebody's feelings through my review or causing un-intentional offense. I further do not intend to misguide anyone so please do not relate it to a holy book. It is not a State Department's policy on something, just a review. So relax and enjoy reading.
Interviewed on 16th November 2009 at US Embassy in Dublin.
1pm interview time means exactly 1pm. Do not attempt to reach there early. Try risk it and face standing outside in the cold.
;-)
Staff extremely particular about documentation requirements. Make sure at least 10 times that you have all your documents with you.
I had to run out twice, once to get more US visa size pictures (which were returned within 2 minutes of my submitting them at the window, apparently they were not needed in the first place), and secon... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Had my interview the 22nd sept 2009 at 1pm. arrived at 12:40 and wasnt allowed in was told to come back at 12:55. Was called 10mins after I got into the embassy and handed in DS 156,156k and support documents. Then they looked for the fee which in the letter I got told me it was 99.56 however the fee was only 91.70 and they wouldnt accept my postal order so had to leave the embassy and get cash. At least there is a bank 5mins from the embassy. Got the cash and then had to wait for the cashier to open which didnt make any difference as was waitiing anyway.After waiting about 2hrs I was called for the interview which took about 10mins. She asked me about how we meet when we meet for the 1st time and all my other visits to the US and also about Kays visits to Ireland. Then she looked for evidence and showed her the recent ticket stubs, photos, online chats, phone bills and credit card statements showing that Kay had being in Ireland in August. Then she said thats fine your finished, then ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Hi everyone, attended interview today in Dublin. I arrived at 12.45pm, interview was for 1pm. Went through security, bags scanned, phone turned off and left in security, giving my embassy pass and also given a ticket to pick up my phone on the way out.
I was second in the queue for immigrant visas section. Waited approx 30 mins and was called to the window. At this point I was asked for my DS 156, 156K, I134 and all relevant support documents that go with it. I also gave in my medical results (they did not look at the X-ray, the lady informed me that I have to bring it in my hand luggage rolled up as I may be asked for it at POE), police report and SAE envelope and pictures, woman at the counter very efficient and polite, no problems at all. She then told me to pay the cashier when she returned to counter number 6......waited some more...... 20 minutes later woman arrived back, paid for my Visa. This woman then told me to take a seat and wait to be called. Time flew as I got ta... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Interview was at 1pm, I was third on the que outside the Embassy. I was called into the security check area, I had a friend with me so i left my bag with her, it made my life a little easier and the gaurds seemed to laugh at the fact that i had nothing other than my paperwork with me, They were very plesant and helpful, they took my details then sent me on my way to the embassy itself.

I walked in, there were 2 other people waiting for the k1, I made small talk with the lady who was ahead of me, she actually helped calm me down, I was SUPER stressed out. As she had gone ahead i saw her face kinda drop, turned out she had forgot something, anyway, then i paniced again wondering if i had actually got everything. One piece of advice i will give.....DO NOT WORRY!!!its not that bad. She camer back and said they wouldn't accept her birth certificate as an authorised form because she had only had a copy of it stamped by the gaurds.

anyway the lady called me up, ... read complete review
