Hi everyone, 

 

First post here, I hope Im posting this in the right place! 

 

My wife, a US citizen, filed the I130 for me in February last year. We got the NOA2 last month thankfully after a year of waiting. Case sent to the NVC on 14 Feb 20. 

 

Im from Pakistan but as I work and reside in Abu Dhabi, UAE Im guessing this is where the NVC will assign my case.  Heard some dreadful stories about the waiting times at the Abu Dhabi embassy during 2017-18 including a thread on here! 

 

I really hope thats not the case anymore! I was wondering if there are people here who've had their interviews there recently and can shed light on this. 

 

Fingers crossed for the NVC stage for now, still no word on receipt. Anyway all thats for the NVC thread I guess. 

 

Good luck to everyone in this nerve wracking process right now. This is such a great place with tons of information
