    Flying ex Dublin. Air France staff don't seem to know what US immigration is!:confused:

    Paris is connecting flight, ie won't be leaving the airport.

    Can anyone tell me is the immigration stuff done in Dublin, Paris, or NYC?

    It should be Paris.

    New York I think. I thought only Ireland in Europe has US immigration at its airports... Flew Dublin - LA via Heathrow and had to do immigration in LA.

    Yeah you do it in New York. You can only do it in Dublin if you're on a designated US flight that is pre-clearance enabled. Paris doesn't have US Pre-Clearance facilities, so you do it on arrival into NYC.

    You may be subjected to security / immigration type questioning before boarding.

    I was under impression that Ireland and Canada were the only countries in the World to have US immigration..

    Obviously the US has it as well :D (it's just not called preclearance there!)

    Preclearance facilities are also present in Bermuda, The Bahamas and Aruba.
