Consulate Review: Dublin, Ireland

| Embassy Review : |
I had my interview yesterday in Dublin at 12.45. I recommend going up to the window and saying what you are there for and what time as I was waited in the queue for a bit when I could have gone in a bit earlier.
I was in and out in less than 50 minutes and it was quite busy in there with j1 visa applicants.
The room itself to the right of the building where you go for the k1 is pretty small. Kind of like going to the tax office, it's quite open and everyone can hear everything. One end is for Americans getting passports etc and the other end is for visas.
Most of the documents listed weren't needed. Just passport, confirmation of payment and interview, 2 pictures, sealed medical, birth cert and copy(original given back to me), police cert, i-134, work letter, bank statement and 2016 tax return. All other documents relating to i134 were given back to us.
The women at the window taking the documents was really nice and complimented me on my organized paperwork.
The girl before me was denied but she had overstayed in the US before so she was being interviewed 30 minutes and probably the only reason I was there for even 50 minutes, it would have been less otherwise.
Questions were super easy, just normal relationship questions.
How did we meet, when and how did the relationship progress.
How did he propose.
What are the wedding plans.
What kind of work will i be looking to get in the US.
Did I read about my laws as a spouse in the US
That was it and he said I was approved and welcome to the US. I told him I would hug him if I could, he laughed and said thank you haha
So for anyone worried about the interview, please don't it's super pleasant! The guards inside the building were really nice too and very helpful when j1 applicants had any questions. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
