Hello everyone, congrats for all who got their interviews, I have a question my wife is from Iraq and since the US embassy in Iraq is not conducting any immigration visa interviews, we have been transferred to Abu Dhabi my case was DQ in July 2020 but we haven't heard from the Abu Dhabi embassy yet, my question is, were you guys all residents of UAE? is there any one who have been transferred from Iraq and got their interview?

How long after DQ were you able to get an interview scheduled with ABU DHABI EMBASSY?

18 months for the interview after getting DQ without any administrative processing delays? At Abu Dhabi Embassy? How long did it take after the interview to get the Visa on the passport?

F4 Visa from Iran, non-resident, finally got our interview date.

Priority Date: August 2006

Documentarily Qualified: January 2021

Interview Letter Received: April 2023

Interview Date: June 2023

 

That's a wait of over 2 years and 3 months for our interview date.

In case anyone was wondering, F4 Visas are low priority visas, maybe the lowest? And this low priority does definitely affect getting an interview date as well.

Other higher priority visas that were DQ'd much later than us got interview dates much earlier due to their higher priority.
