We had an interview at US embassy in Abu Dhabi, UAE two days ago. I decided to go with my wife to the interview becuase I thought it might help!
Since US has no embassy or cosulate in Iran, Iranian applicants have to travel to UAE (or Turkey) to get interviewed.
They allowed me to go with her inside for the interview. They interviewed us 3 times, first they collect all your documents and ask you some questions, the second interview which I think is the most important one was around noon. They asked us many question on how we met, engaged and got married, they asked about my job my house and they reviewed my tax forms. I must say most questions were for me rather than for my wife. And then we were asked to sit and wait for the final interview. In the final interview my wife was fingerprinted and they again asked me so many questions on who I live with, my house mortgage and payments,.. and at the end they said they have do more processing on our case and will let us know about their decision in one week. We have to check their website and when our case number showed up, we have to go there and get the Visa.
Our documents were complete with no problem; I gave them 3 years of my tax docs, letter from my employer and bank, and so many picture as evidence of relationship. They did not say anything on why they want to do more processing but I think they want to check my work/tax/.. again.
On that day, some people were told the same what we were told and have to wait one week to 60 days. Some were told to come and get their Visa the next day and very few (specially old applicants) were lucky to get theirs on the same day.
Overall, since many Iranians have lied to them before, they are not friendly at all! They are SOOO eager to find a problem and delay or reject the case.
