US Immigration from United Arab Emirates

Guys,

Need to know my case sent to Department of State, How long they will take to respond and what is the further process.

U.S. Mission India posts, in light of the global COVID-19 pandemic, are cancelling immigrant and nonimmigrant visa appointments from March 16, 2020, onward. Your visa appointment stands as cancelled. Once Mission India resumes regular consular operations, appointments will be made available and you will be able to reschedule. Please see www.ustraveldocs.com/in and in.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/ for further information.

Hi everyone,

First post here, I hope Im posting this in the right place!

My wife, a US citizen, filed the I130 for me in February last year. We got the NOA2 last month thankfully after a year of waiting. Case sent to the NVC on 14 Feb 20.

Im from Pakistan but as I work and reside in Abu Dhabi, UAE Im guessing this is where the NVC will assign my case. Heard some dreadful stories about the waiting times at the Abu Dhabi embassy during 2017-18 including a thread on here!

I really hope thats not the case anymore! I was wondering if there are people here who've had their interviews there recently and can shed light on this.

Fingers crossed for the NVC stage for now, still no word on receipt. Anyway all thats for the NVC thread I guess.

Good luck to everyone in this nerve wracking process right now. This is such a great place with tons of information

I recently had my passport stolen. I reported it and got a replacement passport.

I uploaded the new passport copy in the CEAC site.

Is there anything else I need to do to ensure my paper work for my husband's application is not affected by this?

Best Regards,

Tam

The NVC sent me messages about my husband's birth certificate and that to avoid delays I may consider adding an additional household member for the AOS. (Friday, Feb 7)

We uploaded the new birth certificate immediately (Monday, Feb 10) and submitted it while I worked with my father to help me fill up the I-864a. A few days later, I got the additional household member AOS documents in (Sun 23 Feb).

When does the the NVC review the re-submitted documents? When I submitted the birth certificate or when I update the site with ALL the info, even if the additional info was "optional"?

Best Regards,

Tam
