[positive girl:) 1]

Dear Vj family,

I had my interview this morning at Abu Dhabi US Embassy.Just wanted to share what I experienced today. I hope you will learn something At exactly 6:30 AM my sister and I left the house and headed to the embassy and we waited outside the building where benches are to sit on.

7:45 AM security guard checked my appointment letter and passport then directed me to sit on the IMMIGRANT line. At 8:00 AM the security guard directed me to the entrance of the main building, its not the USEM building yet it’s a separate room for security purposes where they will scan your things and another security personnel will scan your body, and then after everything was checked they instructed me to exit to another door and headed to another waiting room, after few minutes we were asked to go to the main building.

As soon as I entered the main building the reception security gave me a control number I got the number (003), and was instructed to sit down and wait till my number flash on the monitor on top of each window.

My number flashed on Window No. 10 and a Caucassian lady took 1 copy of my control number (003) and asked for my Filled forms along with my other docs;

Filled Forms;

DS-156

DS-156

DS-157

DS-230 Part I & II

I-134

Income Tax Return of my Fiance

Appointment Letter

Original Passport

Receipt for 540.00 AED (NBAD)

3 photos (2x2)

Original Police Clearance

Original NBI

Birth Certificate

Medical Result (except the X-Ray)

I prepared all my documents with labels on extra sheet with tabs and clips, PLS DO NOT DO THAT because when i submitted it she told me "too much paper" and she doesn't have all the time to remove it one by one, so she returned it to me and asked me to give only the documents needed

After that the lady gave me a slip along with my passport to pay an amount of (375.00 AED) to (Window No. 1 - Cashier) and told me to come back after paying and return to her the passport along with the payment receipt. Its now cheaper before it was 781 aed, but there was a change I think since April 12, 2012:)

Then I went back to her and gave my receipt and she told me to sit down and wait for my number to be called. When my number was called at (Window No. 11) for Finger printing (4 left finger / 4 right finger / 2 thumbs together) and then after that the she instructed me to wait for my number to flash at the monitor.

And my number flashed on (Window No. 7) a lady conducted my interview,she instructed me to take the phone and raise my right hand and pledge under oath that everything I submitted is true and correct and the ff. question were asked.

1) What’s your Full name?

2) What’s your date of birth?

3) Who is (name of my fiance)?

4) How long have you been engaged?

5) When did he proposed?

6) Was he present during your engagement?

7) How / When / where did you meet?

8) Did you meet in person? How long?

9) Why did you go to America?

10) Why not do the wedding in your country?

11) What is your job?

And then finally the C.O. pulled a Pink Slip on the side of her table and told me I think everything is ok, but we still need to check your other documents and saw her writing the (Date / Day / Time) where I should come back to collect my passport and visa and she said once everything is ok they will issue my visa on the date given on the pink slip.

I even asked her what I will tell to my fiance, she just smiled and told me " Just tell him you'll comeback on Sunday to collect your passport

I'm still praying that everything will be OK on April 29, 2012 (Sunday) and hoping they will issue my Visa, thanks everyone for the great help and support… and thank you also to other Vj members who shared their experiences which also helped me a lot. And for those who answered my pm messages

God bless us all! and may all our journey be a success!
