Hello,

I am in the process of applying a petition for my husband who is from Yemen. I am a U.S. citizen, and he is not. Now, I am aware that the Embassy in Yemen in closed, and that Visa cases are being handled by Egypt and Algeria. My husband and I are currently residing in Jordan, and my question is this. Would it be quicker to have our case forwarded to the Embassy in Jordan? Or would we have a better chance of having it sent to Malaysia and go from there. We have heard that visas are being handled at a much faster speed there, and are considering traveling there. Any help and input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Is your husband a resident of Malaysia? You can only interview where you are a permanent resident. Egypt and Alger both are at least 4 to 5 months wait for interview after you get case complete. No way around that.

If your husband legally resides in Jordan, he can interview there.

Malaysia is a non-starter unless your husband has legal residence there.

He is not a legal resident in Jordan, no. We came here to get married, and are really enjoying it, and are considering residing here until we can enter the states together. Thank you for your help! Do you know if Djibouti is accepting cases from Yemen if they are not legal residents?

My advice is transfer it to Djibouti. It's much faster and they will treat you much better then Egypt and jordon and Algeria. I been in Egypt since July and they put me in administrative processing becuse he wants wedding photographs .
