I received 129F approval (NOA2) on Dec 7th, 2012. My fiance was living in the Philippines, but took a job recently in UAE. This was a financial and quality of life decision. She is on a work Visa in UAE.

Our question: Should she schedule the interview in Manila or is it possible to have the documents sent to UAE for her to process through the UAE (American Embassy). I really hope that she could process through UAE.

Does anyone have advice or experience with this?

Thank you

What embassy did you write down on your application? That's where the interview will take place. I think it may be possible to change it, but this would certainly add to the waiting time.
