As far as jobs go, I don't remember any exact time frame, due to bad memory, but it should be sooner than later. At least until after the battle fixes are complete and out of the teams way.
Ishgard, in fact, has Dragoons present in their current standing armies. They are mostly seen wielding either Lance or Sword when featured in cut-scenes, so maybe future quests regarding "Jobs" such as Dragoon or Paladin, and the continuation of your classes story arks, will possibly bring players into the city of Ishgard.
Of course, this is ALL purely speculation and should not be taken as fact as of yet, until further notice. But it's fun just to imagine the future for now.
If anything, the only jobs you'll ever have interacting with Ishgard primarily, are jobs hailing from Gridania, since almost all of their class quests have you interacting with the neighboring Ishgardians.
