| Embassy Review : |
My interview was at Abu Dhabi. The appointment letter said 8am so I got there at 7:20am but there were 11 people already in line before me. We were asked to show the guards our passport & appointment letter and wait outside the gate. At 8am we were called two at a time for security check at the gate and we were asked to leave our bags there and proceed to the inner building. Here we were given a token (so the earlier you get there, the better) and asked to wait. When my number came up at one of the counters, I went up there and was asked for my passport, appointment letter & the small packet from the medical exam. Then she asked me for all the forms (DS 230, 156, 156K, 157 & Affidavit of support with tax slip) and then for photocopies of birth certificate + translation, PCCs & passport. She asked me whether I had paid online, I told her I did and handed over the printed receipt. Then she asked me to go to the next counter for fingerprints, there was a queue there so I was asked to wait (They scanned fingertips of both left and right hands). After that I was asked to wait for my number to be called out for the interview. There were three officers taking interviews at that time, two in private rooms and one at a counter, my number came up at the counter. The officer asked me to raise my right hand and put me under oath first, then she asked me a few questions
1. How did you meet your fiancé ?
2. When did you meet your fiancé for the first time ?
3. Where does your fiancé work ?
4. What do you do in the UAE ?
5. When did your fiancé go to the US ?
And then she returned the pictures my fiancé had submitted with the petition and said "So you're going to Texas" and gave me a pink slip saying I could collect my passport at 2pm on Monday. We had registered for courier service online but when I asked the counter at the entrance, they told me that they weren't offering that service any longer.
I was out of there in less than 2 hours and everyone was pretty friendly. |

*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.
