Review Topic: K1 Visa

After getting through security we headed up the ramp to the interview office. There were only a few immig visa's being issued that day, but a lot of students and work visas. We were called up the the first interview within 20 mins and gave our forms, police and birth cert, and call records. About 30 mins later we were called up to the window to do the interview. It was a young American that smiled and was very nice. He asked simple questions like: How did you meet? When did you get engaged? What does your fiancee do? How long have you been in Ireland? What are your future plans? and a few other questions that are specific to our case. He then asked me (the american) some simple questions about our future plans and said we were approved . He didn't want any extra proof such as recent photos, emails, msn, letters, or anything like that. I put a lot of stuff in my orginal I-129f package and he seemed very pleased that he didn't have to ask for more relationship proof.... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Arrived at the Embassy at one o'clock precisely, as per instructions on the packet 4 letter. Through the gate security where they x-rayed my bag and took my mobile phone, and on into the Embassy itself where the helpful security asked what I was there for and got me a number from the ticket machine.

It was a pretty quiet day for visa applications - there were two people ahead of me. One was there as he had won a Green Card lottery and another who was also in for their K-1 interview. There were a few problems with the number calling machines but I was eventually called to the window after about half an hour where my documents were checked, and then on to the cashier window to pay my visa fee. It was then back to the waiting area where I chatted with my fellow applicants. After about another 40 minutes of waiting one of them was called up, but returned after a couple of minutes - they had missed a signature. Then my name was called. Thinking that I too had neglected to sig... read complete review

Review Topic: K3 Visa

On 23rd of Febuary, I got a letter with interview date of March 9th 2009. Which seemed very sudden after 10months of waiting for I-129F approval. It only barely gave enough me time for the medical (I went with Dr Damian Rutledge rather Dr Tim Glesson, who I used in May 2008, as the time of result was 48hours against a week). Then I noted that my Police Certificate from April 2008 could out of date(it turned out it was) so I applied for another a donnybrook gardai station. I met a gardai over the following weekend I was first in the 1pm appointment queue. And we molety crew of families, couples, some people of their own, like me. They would not take an extra 3 cents from me.
They ask for letters, but were safitied with a collection christmas,valetines,brithday cards. It might been I have to the USA so often and that was here quite often but they did quite ask for much proof of relationship besides the my statement under oath. And all the certificates birth,marriage,police. I did... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

They sent the outdated version of DS-156K so make sure you get the new one online!

He got there at about 12:30. Was seen about 2:00. There were about 4 people in line. They told him because his birth cert last name was spelled different from his passport he'd have to go somewhere and get an insert in his passport but they weren't very clear at all about what he needed to do, and that's still not sorted. He had to take the train all the way home and he'll have to make phone calls to figure out what to do and then go back. So they checked that he had all his documents, then he paid the cashier, then did his fingerprints, then interviewed. He was approved but he has to get his birth cert issue settled.

As far as the actual interview -
All they were interested in were the financial support documents. He asked basic questions, what's your fiancee's name, where does she work, where is she from, when did you visit, what was your longest st... read complete review

Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing

Bring a book, bring a lunch, and most importantly bring patience. And check the cover sheet of the mysterious brown envelope before you leave the Embassy.

For immigrant visa interviews, the Embassy's security won't let you enter the building earlier than 1pm. Mobiles aren't allowed in the building (security will hold them for you).

My husband's interview letter said to be at the Embassy at 1pm but he wasn't called to the desk until 2pm. They first asked for his paperwork - passport, birth certificate, marriage licence, the sealed medical results, police certificate, Form I-864, two passport photos and the $400 visa fee. Once he handed over all the paperwork, they told him to sit and wait.

An hour later he was called for the interview. It took all of ten minutes, the majority of questions were about our assets and specific questions about me (the USC). He was told at the end of the interview that his visa had been approved and to agai... read complete review
