Dwheels, your post made me laugh out loud! Waiting on hold for a real person at NVC really is that bad! LOL

Here you go guys, my experience at the USEM Abu Dhabi. Went to line up at 6:30am. There were 2 lines, one for immigrant visas, the other one for non-immigrant visas. There were already around 20 people in line. We were told to get our appointment letters and passports ready. By 7:45 they let us enter the doors for an airport-style security check, bags were not allowed, mobile phones were turned off and surrendered to the security where they gave me ticket number to collect it afterwards. After the security check, we were ask to go and wait inside a room. At exactly 8am, we we told to go through another door, to a walkway, into another room. Before entering that room, there was another security check, they checked my passport and appointment letter, gave me the number of 610. It was not very big, seats maximum of 150. Gave me a feeling of being inside a bank, albeit a smaller one. After that the pre-assessment started. It was the longest in the interview process. I had mine around 9 am mostly because there were a few families before me. My pre-assessment was at window 9, where an Indian man was conducting it. He asked for my ticket number, passport and appointment letter. He then returned to me the pictures my husband sent NVC,asked me what my work at the UAE is and how long I have been here, asked for my sealed medical packet from the doctor, returned the pictures my husband sent NVC, then told me to go to window 10 for my finger printing. Then I was told to wait for my number to be called for the interview. Pre- assessment for immigrant visas were at windows 7,8,9. Finger printing at windows 10, 11. There were a maximum 20 immigrant visas to be interviewed for that day. By 10 am, they have a change of employees and that was when the interviews started. There were only 2 consul officers doing the interview for immigrant visa, i was hoping mine would be at window 12 which is inside their office which would offer a little bit of privacy, away from the hearing of all the other people still waiting. Of course that did not happen!! By 10:30 am, my number was called at window 7, where a middle-aged lady, short haired and wearing glasses was waiting for me, smiling. She then asked me to put the 4 fingers of my right hand on the finger print scanner outside her window and asked me to say the oath with her. After that the interview started. Questions asked were: how long have you been married to your husband?, how did you meet your husband?, when was the last time you were together?, was I married before ( which I answered never!)? She then asked for a copy of my husband's 2014 taxes and the original of my Philippine Police certificate. She then told me congratulations, I could get my passport with the visa on Dec. 17 at 2 pm. She slipped me the pink slip, with the instructions and wished me a long and happy married life with my husband!!! The actual interview did not even take 5 minutes. I was not even asked for any of the original copies of my civil documents ( except for the one I mentioned above), nor to show any proof of relationship ( which I think because my husband already sent a few pictures to NVC), nor any proof of our correspondences!! The CO was very nice and cheerful. I was out of the embassy by 10:40!!!

Hi everyone,

I'm having my interview on January 19th and I'm already preparing all the documents that I will take with me. I was thinking that I could print out my Facebook conversations with my husband's family members (his dad, mom, sister, brother, sister-in-law) just to show the CO that i'm in good relations with basically everyone

You guys think that'll help?

I had same problem. Now let's do this. 1.Open your facebook page 2.Open another tool bar or window. 3.type www.facebook.com/messages on the search botton. 4. a new page will open. 5. Click on messages 6.Load previous messages. right click and save as PDF. It will give you facebook look with all the pix. Let me know if it does work for you.Mine worked

Our case was approved for an expedited interview also. My husband received instructions in his email on how to schedule my interview appointment. Go to ais.usvisa-info.com and try scheduling your appointment. Good luck! Edited December 14, 2015 by Palangga
