F4 Abu Dhabi Embassy Green Card Scheduling Times

[mikey_ 0]

Hello, my mom, a U.S. Citizen, filed an I-130 for her sister who lives with her husband and child in Iran. 

Priority Date: AUG-2006

Documentarily Qualified: January 22, 2021

Interview Location: Abu Dhabi

 

So as of making this post, we've been waiting 586 days for a Green Card interview to be scheduled.

We do get emails from the NVC every 60 days saying we're still in line for an interview, no action required, etc. (last email being July 25). 

 

I know that COVID-19 has really disrupted this process and elongated wait times- I think a bunch of Abu Dhabi (and other embassies) visa processing services were shut down completely for a while.

Right now the Abu Dhabi website only has this sentence, "The U.S. Embassy Abu Dhabi has resumed routine immigrant visa processing services on a limited basis."

 

Looking at Visa Issuance Data:

May 2022

95 F4 Issuances to Iran

19 F4 Issuances by Abu Dhabi Embassy

June 2022

100 F4 Issuances to Iran

37 F4 Issuances by Abu Dhabi Embassy

July 2022

52 F4 Issuances to Iran

9 F4 Issuances by Abu Dhabi Embassy

 

So it looks like things are moving (though July was rather slower).

 

Is anyone else waiting for an F4 Green Card Interview at  the Abu Dhabi Embassy?

Does anyone have any news about the Abu Dhabi embassy, or Green Card interview scheduling times?
