Anyone from the Middle East???

Hello,

My husband is from Iran and I am sponsoring him on a K3. We just sent in our DS-230 forms and documents. The next step I guess is the NVC contacting us to let us know his paperwork is being sent to Abu Dhabi (no US consulate in Iran. Iranians are informed by NVC that Turkey or UAE consulates handles processing).

My question is what security clearances does my husband need to do (since he is Iranian) in addition to standard clearances? How do you think it would take?

We've been seperate all year with the exception of two weeks in May. It's getting very hard to be apart for so long.

You may want to try the MENA forum (link). There are a lot of people who have been through this and they can give you a good idea of what to expect.

Hi

My husband is from Jordan and all he needed was a police certificate from his country. I am not sure about Iran but it was pretty simple though.

Well, it is only through this site I have learned of potential additional steps that need to be taken. I read people's posts and see things like "administrative processing" (AP) and then find out what this actually involves and that it could make us wait longer.
