I have a question... My husband applied for the CR1 visa because we got married April 2, 2015... However it says that if your marriage is 2 years long or more once your visa is issued then you receive the IR1 visa ... Does this mean (considering I don't think he will get it until May at this rate) that he will receive the IR1 visa even tho we applied for the CR1?

yes I believe that's the case... if you're married for 2 years or more at the issue of your visa..

Woohoo @BethyWink!!!! :D

 

I had to double check my email because I forgot... We got 3 NA's on Feb 3. Did not receive a CC email until Feb 10 (so 1 week later). I remember I had plenty of time to call NVC and confirm my suspicions before I got the official emails and interview date (surprise surprise). It took another week to get the P4 interview letter on Feb 17 (although its dated Feb 16). Obviously the amount of time you will have to wait for an interview letter varies quite a bit based on the country though. 

 

You're almost there!

You dont have a choice with interview location. If you are a UAE resident you must have it here.

 

UAE is usually simple too.  If your papers and you are clear you will be fine.

Your interview will be wherever you are a legal resident. I'm from New Zealand but was living in Australia when I filed. I'm now back in NZ and chose to change my embassy, but I was a legal resident of Australia and could have remained there for my consulate interview if I wanted to.
If your address where you live is UAE and you are a UAE resident/national then that's where your interview will be.
Most embassies schedule appts for a week every month from what I've read, I don't think it'll make a huge difference.
