    Hi

    Will be heading to the US at the end of the summer. Flying from Dublin to Newark and then connection on to a third city.

    My question is where will i clear emigration? Will i hand the package i was given in the embassy in at Dublin, Newark or my final destination? Will it take long is there a chance i could miss my connection?

    Thanks

    Mine took close to an hour. This was in Boston, in '96. I would guess that you will clear immigration in Dublin. In Newark, passengers from pre-cleared flights go out through a different channel, so they would have to clear everyone. I would get to the airport in plenty of time.

    Is your flight with the same airline (with the connection as well)? You probably should pass through in Dublin. Don't think it takes long, just a signature and fingerprinting for yourself and you are on the way. Best of luck for the move. :)

    omg! don't tell me you've already done you interview at the embassy... that I have to admit was quick! I'm still waiting to do my interview. Americano could you please share your experience at the US Embassy, i.e. how long it took and what questions that asked? Personally I would love to know.

    I flew out of Dublin and handed my package in at JFK. It didn't take too long, but it entirely depends on how many people are in front of you.
