omshiv Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Just answer the TRUTH when the VO asks what are you doing in Dublin...else there's no issue. Link to comment
t75 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Check with the consulate to see if they do 3rd country stampings. Link to comment
livliv Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Do you have any ties to Dublin? It is better if you apply in your home country. You can also return in H4 status and then apply for change of status. However, whenever you leave the US after that point, you will still need F1 Visa in order to return. It is better to get it done before you begin your studies and best in your home country. Link to comment
meera Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I am going to Dublin for a conference during that time.If the F1 gets rejected, will I still have an active H4 ? Link to comment
jairichi Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I believe you have to be either a citizen of Ireland or on a long term visa to apply for a visa at US consulate, Dublin. Since you are going there for a conference you will not be able to book an appointment. Check with them first Link to comment
