Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)What do I need..?
I am planning on visiting Ireland in the summer. I'm not exactly sure on a date, but I hope to be there in June. If not anytime in June, than July. I plan on staying there until some time in August. :star: I would be traveling from North Carolina to Ireland. I am wondering what exactly do I need in order to get to Ireland. Just a passport or some type of visa? I'm going to vacation there with friends I know that live there. Whenever I travel, I will be 17. And just to make sure, I can fly alone, right? Or does that depend on what airline I fly with?
Help is appreciated :) Please and thank you. Hope I didn't forget any information!

Caribbeanmuy desesperado y preocupado por mi visa

Se lo dificil que es lo ques estas pasando, pues estoy en la misma espera que tu. Llevo 8 meses esperando despues de la entrevista. Te aconsejo que trates de relajarte. Lo unico que nos queda es esperar y pedirle mucho a Dios que nos de la fuerza para seguir. Desesperandote va a hacer que la espera sea mas larga y dificil. Cuidate mucho...

I agree. it doesn't matter what way you file you have to meet in person. And lots of Muslim's and Christian's meet first. My husband is Muslim and I am Christian and we spent a week together before getting married. I don't think that is a valid reason for not meeting.



I agree, I also met my fiance and he is also a muslim and I am christian.

Where were you , Dubai ? I was there March 12-18 .



I was in Islamabad from Mar.9-17.

Yes exactly on hold. You build your day around text messages and Skype. You count the days until visits. Visits are becoming so expensive. My visa request to Pakistan was denied with no reason so we had to meet in Dubai.Which was 2 plane tickets, hotel, food, transportation. Your bank account goes down so quickly. My fiance had lived in Europe on a student visa for almost 2 years before we started this k1 visa. If he had been approved to live in Sweden you would think they had already completed name checks. That is the part which is so confusing to me . What could they be checking that has taken 6 months?


I am surprised that your visa was denied to visit him, and not give you a reason. And yes too expensive I was just there a few weeks ago. I wish this stage of the this process could end. I ask myself the same question, what is it they are checking that takes months for these cases to be approved.

I also write the embassy on a regular basis but these latest updates in April have been on their own with out me writing to inquire about the status of my case. I wish they would communicate with us better. They never tell you anything. Its so stressful.



inshAllah We will all be approved soon.



It's very, very stressful but we have no other choice but wait. But it does feel like if your life was on hold.

My fiancee had his interview on Jan. 18th, since that date it has only updated like 3 or 4 times, and 2 of those times it has updated is because I have e-mailed the embassy wanting to see if they could give me any updates on the case. Right now it has not been updated since March 11th.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)why this AP is only for selected applicants and no sign of any help from anywhere.

We have been in AP for 4 months now as well. I see something positive in your situation that I don't have, and many others as well and that is that your wife is with you. Others like myself have to face this black hole like you call this AP with a hurtful, hurtful distance in between. If you have done all that's in your hands, then just pray and continue waiting, and once again remember that at least you are facing it together, we don't have that advantage. We need to count each and every one of our blessings. I really wish I could at least wait, but with him by my side. Stay strong!! Blessings!!!

Asalamalakuim. Ramadan mubarak to all, i hope everyone is doing good. I was curious to know something, if anyone could give any insight on this i would appreciate it. Does going to pakistan to see your spouse, and sending the embassy a copy of ur visit like ticket n all make anyyyy difference at all? Any insight would be helpful. Thank you! In Shaa Allah we all will here good news in this blessed month of ramadan.

It does not work, I did that on my last trip.

Agreed , but as far as my understanding goes , no doubt mix couple marriage is "Red Flag" , Age difference , first marriage , 2nd marriage etc , kids involved , i mean there are list of things  and  proving that ur intentions is not solely getting immigration benefits is not easy ,  Pakistan comes in top fraud countries , so for them every one is suspect , that also includes desi couple some time too , its like this ,"Guilty until proven innocent ".if the couple is strong eventually they will get it , if they are not , there marriage eventually devastated .Embassy purposely use delay tactics to check the couple , if all back ground checks come positive , they keep cases for years just to check the marriage is bonafide or not .

 

if that was not the case there wouldn't be long  Aps for us.

 

Good luck to every one and remember every one in prayers

 

 

 

Well, yes I agree with the points you mentioned.

I know my senator has helped my brother with my nephew case and he was extremly helpful. I am just waiting for now and not contacting anyone. i am letting embassy do their business foe now.

That is my opinion, if you guys have been waiting already, just hold on a bit. Believe me I know how hard the wait is. Put all in God's hands, and you will see how he will work all things in your favor. Blessings...

We had the same issue in Bogota Colombia.  We have been waiting for three months now for a decision.  The administrative processing is all the website shows.  I am really close to giving up on this and we just get married and I try it that way.  This has been very very frustrating!!!!!

 

Bob

We waited nearly 15 months, before my husband's visa was issued. I perfectly understand the frustration, but never loose hope. Giving up now means starting all over again.

Soo ... guys i need help i am a bit confused... so me and my fiance are just frustrated as im sure everyone else is. he had his interview at the islamabad embassy on the 19th of feb its been a month. nothing was asked from us but we were put to AP, the CO said we have to wait its part of their job to put everyone for background checks specially mens. so now i am thinking to visit my fiance who is living in pakistan. i am the petitioner i want to knw if it will be alright if i go there and come back with him once he gets his visa in hands. what do you guys say i mean what is concerning me is that i would be unemployed than but than i do have a cosponser and interview already happened so i am just confused. would there be any problem if i go visit him and stay there til he gets his visa. my lawyer said he doesnt see a problem with it but i still want opinions....
