Abu Dhabi wait time for IR1 interview

[2024 I551 13]

I am unable to find IV processing times online for Abu Dhabi.

Does anyone know the estimated wait time for interview after DQ on March 4, 2025?

Depends on the visa category. At least a year, but if you can give more info hopefully somebody can help.

I have mentioned in my thread subject that visa category is IR1. What else to I need to provide?

I didn’t spot it in the thread title - this is another reason why your timeline is so vital, then your details are on every post.

 

So around 12-18 months for IR1, hopefully you’ll hear in 2026 if the Trump changes to consular staffing doesn’t slow things down further. 
 

Good luck.

So, it means the total IR1 process through Abu Dhabi is taking more than 3 years as I-130 approval and getting DQ took almost 17 months. Now another 12 to 18 months to go.

Yes, something like that. Slower than some consulates, but quicker than others. 
 

Do please fill in your timeline as then you’ll be helping other AD applicants going forward. 
 

Good luck.
