You need to interview in a country where you are a legal resident ( like temporary resident or permanent resident or an equivalent legal status to work).   Tourist Visas are not residency visas.

Thank you so much,  much much appreciated  your reply, i wish i could buy you some chocolates.

You will need to return to your home country.  And since you have exceeded 180 days in Dubai you will probably need a police clearance certificate from there since you have been acting like you are a resident.

i am sorry for asking you too many question,, police clearance certificate from where ? my home country or dubai ? and who will be asking for ?? my home country is Afghanistan

You will be needing police clearance certificates for each country that you lived in for 6 months (in total) since age 16.  You will need it for the interview.

 

You should see what it would take obtain legal residency in Dubai as you can expect extreme vetting, known as a DS-5535, due to you country/ region of origin.

Ok this is a worrying statement... makes me think you haven’t looked up the documents you need for an immigrant visa. Look at this page, and look at (expand) all the subsections and links.

You have to be interviews in a country of residence. Can be country of citizenship, or if you were in a third country with say a work visa or permanent residency. Tourist visas don't count as that. They are for tourism, not to live.
