Hi,

finally my waiting is finished and i received my visa the day after interview date in Abu Dhabi.

my interview was so simple and fast. A kind lady asked some question about my job and my wife's situation in US. (about her home, job,...). then she asked me to come the day after in order to issue visa.

I hope everything goes well with you
