Any update on his? when is your interview?

I wonder how big is the backlog and if AUH embassy is working with reduced staff? We have got our DQ after a surprisingly very fast 2 days NVC process in January 21st.

 

I have created a graph for historical immigrant visa issuance in AD embassy with the data obtained from March 2017 to up to date. I have showed two lines, orange one is all class of immigrant visas issued (DV, IR, F, E everything), and yellow line is IR1+CR1.

 

Maybe would be useful for anyone.

Hi Everyone,

 

Due to excitement, I have come up with more statistics for Interview Schedules in Abu Dhabi Embassy. I have gathered information of our 9 dear users who got their interview dates for January and February. I am not writing usernames and other inforamtion but just DQ, NVC End, Interview Letter and Interview dates as much as they filled.

 

DQ	NVC End	Interview letter	Interview Date
10/1/2020	14-Jan	1/14/2021	2/9/2021
9/10/2020			2/8/2021
10/5/2020	1/15/2021		2/2/2021
8/14/2020			2/1/2021
7/23/2020	12/15/2020	12/15/2020	1/25/2021
6/16/2020		12/12/2020	1/12/2021
6/2/2020	12/15/2020	12/15/2020	1/12/2021
5/23/2020	12/15/2020		1/11/2021
5/21/2020	12/15/2020	12/15/2020	1/5/2021

 

Here is a graph version of the data above;

 

 

Data tells us that eventhough the gap between the DQ dates are large, they all gather up closer in ragard to interview date.

 

So with this limited data we can say that users with DQ dates roughly around MAY-JUNE-JULY  got their Interview dates in January and AUGUST-SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER got their Interview dates in February.

That is not so correct to make a assumption witht his limited data however if we need to, we may say DQ dates of (OCTOBER)-NOVEMBER-DECEMBER-(JANUARY) may expect their interview to be scheduled for March if Embassy is working at this time same as previous months and if the actual applicants do not significantly differ and loaded for this months. (october and january is in brackets because october partially might not got their interview in February and thus january might not get partially in March as it is hard to go to a conclusion with limited data if all october DQs got visa appointment in February. At the end, this is a blind game:)

 

If we had more users uses VJ and everybody updates their Timeline, we would have a much better picture.

 

Please let me know if you have any further information regarding the workload if AD embassy or any further information of October DQs.

By the grace of God visa got approved. It only took one hour and 45 minutes. Only plastic cover was allowed. First security checked got token number 3 and fingerprint and gave birth/marriage/police certificates medical records and 1 photo to a counter then called the number. Questions are how we met, when was our marriage, what i am doing here, where in the U.S my spouse is, where are we planning to stay in US(alone or with parents) and then he took the passport for Visa.
