Is your priority date current? Many people DQ before they are current. You will not get interviewed before PD current. You will probably be behind many months of people who got DQ ahead of you during the shutdown/ban periods.

Resumption of Limited, Routine Immigrant Visa Processing in Abu Dhabi

Effective immediately, we have increased the range of immigrant visa services available and resumed limited, routine immigrant visa interviews.  Among immigrant visa applications, we will prioritize emergency cases and then Immediate Relative family members of U.S. citizens including intercountry adoptions, fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens, and certain Special Immigrant Visa applications. 

As we increase the range of our immigrant services available, we’ll be processing cases in the order that the National Visa Center determined the case to be “documentarily qualified.”  When a case becomes documentarily qualified, the National Visa Center sends an email to notify you that it is complete and pending scheduling at the Embassy, so please review your past emails from the National Visa Center to determine what date your case became documentarily qualified. You may also check your CEAC account to find this date.

yeah, I just read in the site that they are processing limited immigrant visa which doesnt include family based at this time 😔. Anyhow, I was only DQ after all my documents were accepted and processed by NVC and waiting for an interview notification. this was after a year when my PD became current. hopefully they will start sending out interview letter to all immigrant visa cat soon
