Consulate Review: United Arab Emirates Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : January 19, 2014 Embassy Review : I don't have much advice to offer that hasn't already been said multiple times. Two things that I would emphasize would be accompanying your spouse to the interview and bringing your W-2s. I sent them to the NVC but I was still asked for them at the window. Luckily, I did have my 1040 and she made me fill out another affidavit of support. The whole process including waiting in line was less than an hour. A couple interesting observations from the interview: a) She allowed my wife to interview in Spanish. b) We studied over 40 possible questions in English, but all in all my wife was only asked about 4 or 5 and they were very easy questions. No tricks. Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
