My wife and I have been waiting 15 months since DQ for an interview for our IR1 visa and it will likely be another 6 months or so at the pace they are going. Not sure if IR5 is in a different queue or not but if it is anything like the IR1 queue you should look into transferring to a different country.

So far they have only gotten to February 2nd 2023 DQs at Abu Dhabi and seem to only be getting through ~4 days of backlog a month. I can't transfer myself since my spouse is Emirati but since you are Iranian it seems like you have options, you should be able to request a transfer through the NVC public inquiry form. That's all the info I have, you might want to look around for other Iranians to see where they have had success. Good luck!

How long to wait? (Split)
JacobMH replied to Emma1001's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
As far as I can tell the Abu Dhabi embassy has covered people DQ'd up to around January 13th 2023. They seem to be sending out interview letters the first week of the month. For the past few months they have been covering around half a month of backlog per month, very very slow, if you or anyone else has the option you should look into transferring to a different embassy. -
Scheduling Interviews in Abu Dhabi Embassy
JacobMH replied to Ahmedandmaya's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Our CR1 case got DQ 6 months ago. I hope more people will add their cases on the timeline page so we can get a better idea how long things are taking. Another thing I am wondering, does the Embassy in Abu Dhabi prioritize Emirati people and citizens of the UAE or do they take care of all cases equally?
