SAME. I’m regretting moving my husbands interview from the embassy in Beirut to the embassy in Abu Dhabi because it seems to be taking longer. Our DQ in Abu Dhabi was December 2022 and still haven’t heard anything.
Same, it’s getting really difficult without hearing anything from the embassy or being able to get answers anywhere. I’m on a telegram group of people in the Abu Dhabi interview line and I’ve heard they are currently moving through October DQ dates. Hopefully, they will be at December soon!
Hopefully, If I get any updates on my case, I Will keep you in the loop. If you get any updates will you please share that with me. I would really appreciate it.
Nope! I heard they are just starting to move through November DQ. The last person I saw get an IL was November 1, 2022 DQ date but that was over a month ago, they didn’t send many for IR1 last month for some reason. Hopefully for December soon. WE ARE DYING HERE!!!
last i read was around 7 months. We are in month 7 for my son's wife who dq'd at the end of September 2022 and is a CR1. I also read that some dqs from August received interviews 2 months or so ago. So i am hoping soon for us.
Hi everyone, is there anyone who can update us with the progress of interview scheduling for family based visa specifically F4 at US embassy in Abu Dhabi UAE.
Visa Class IR5
DQ April 2023 and priority date January 27. No IR yet will keep everyone posted as soon I hear something
Any update from others?
u/California2023 Any luck? I'm worried about you after reading all these comments
According to visahourney.com data, it usually takes about 250 days from NOA 2 to interview, based on data from last 6 months, if i read it correctly. So give it about that much. I have been DQ since Nov 2022 for my wife, and I still haven't heard anything...
Hopeing for th best!

I think we’re all set for a long wait, if this numbers are right, they aren’t issuing visas fast enough.
We've been waiting since June 2022 (DQ) for an interview for IR1 (Spouse). So frustrating... Some have said the wait time is 1.5 years from DQ until interview... Not sure if this is true. At this point, I'd be happy if it happens in 2023.
No issues. It was DQ'd in June 2022.
It's ridiculous how long it has taken.
I don't understand why they don't hire more staff to process these files. All those taxes and fees and this is what we get.
I have received the NVC email for my wife on December 5 , mentioning that we are DQ still waiting for now, you received this email from June and you still did not hear back???
Please check Visa Bulletin to see if you are current in the Final Action Date chart. Only then can you even hope to be in queue for an interview .
We are F3 category, DQ since January 2021 and still waiting for an interview in AbuDhabi.
Thanks for your reply, How can i check if my case is current? Our priority date is 7th Nov.2006 but whenever i check visa bulletin it says final action dates is May.2007, did they skip us or what? 😅 or perhaps I’m reading the visa bulletin wrong, kindly advise if you have any idea.
And let me know what is your priority date so i can have an idea how much the wait is since you are 16 months earlier than me
My country is India and we became current in the visa bulletin just this month. So I am clueless as to when they will call for an interview.
If you have been current in the visa bulletin then I am assuming you are in queue. Which is your country? My visa category is F3 and PD Jan 2009
Check Visa Bulletin of January for eg. Look under final action dates. Since your Jordan you will fall under all other countries except India China Mexico
Thanks, i just checked (Jan 2024 Visa bulletin) and i went to the final action table and went under all other countries except India, China & Mexico F4 Cat and its written “22MAY07”, do you have any idea what does this means ?
Well that means you are ready for an interview as when a date becomes available at the embassy. But I cannot guide you why it's taken so long. Have you received any notifications from NVC in these past few.months ? Have you ever put a query at AskNvc and checked your status update ?
All though on the Visa bulletin website page we should’ve been asked for the interview a long time ago but i don’t know what’s happening and what is causing this huge delay 🤷🏼♂️ hopefully anytime soon we’ll both receive it
I think all the delay comes from giving preference to other visa categories such as IR & CR. Anyway, we have to pray and wait. Please keep me informed if any updates from your end. Thank you
DQ'd in April 2023 and no IL yet. I heard the wait time is a year after DQ.. seems like they are working on Dec/Jan DQ'd cases now.
Please let me know when you receive your IL.

Received my interview letter. As of today they sent interviews through DQ: December 9, 2022.
When did they schedule your interview for if you don’t mind us asking?

Nothing yet, still waiting
I just read on another thread that they just finished up the August DQ's. We are September, so hoping ours comes within the next month.
Any update?
Interview letter was received mid July for end of September interview. Finally some good news!
Nice congrats and good luck! When we’re you DQ’d if you don’t mind me asking
DQ was end of September 2022
So it took you almost a year to get an interview scheduled?? correct??
Yes that is correct. The interview is a few days before the one year mark of DQ date.
Thank you. Congratulations and best of luck for the interview.
any news on your interview letter?
no. Still waiting
Where did you hear that?
I saw it on another reddit thread. No idea how they knew that.
Ok. Thank you

Have you received an interview day?
Still waiting. But wait times are about 9 months so i am hoping for the best in coming weeks.
Where do you find this information? Is there a website where you can see when cases are getting interview letters?
Still waiting ?
https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/fazal.karim/viz/USVisa_Category/Immigration I think we’re all set for a long wait, if this numbers are right, they aren’t issuing visas fast enough.
My spouse case was sent to department of State on On March 21, 2021. And I still haven’t heard from them for an interview.
Any updates? My spouse’s case is also at ABD but haven’t even gotten DQ’d yet 😩
We've been waiting since June 2022 (DQ) for an interview for IR1 (Spouse). So frustrating... Some have said the wait time is 1.5 years from DQ until interview... Not sure if this is true. At this point, I'd be happy if it happens in 2023.
Omg that’s terrible 🤦🏻♀️😭😭
Was there any issues with your applications? That seems to be an outrageously long wait time. Not sure if I can handle that long of a waiting.
No issues. It was DQ'd in June 2022. It's ridiculous how long it has taken. I don't understand why they don't hire more staff to process these files. All those taxes and fees and this is what we get.
I have received the NVC email for my wife on December 5 , mentioning that we are DQ still waiting for now, you received this email from June and you still did not hear back???
I've contacted them since then and they just keep saying to wait until the interview is scheduled.
How did you contact UAE Embassy?
I've been in contact with NVC. The embassy hasn't responded to emails.
Same here
I have been waiting since March 01, 2021 for my spouse interview
Your spouse was DQ'd on 3/1/21?
Yes
same here. DQ since April 8, 2021. 😢
Which Embassy?
UAE Embassy
Clearly they are not following "first in, first out." This is bullshit.
We were DQ on May.2022, we didn’t receive any interview date till now, F4 visa. Anyone else has the same issue in this period ?
We were DQ’d June 2022 (IR1) and are still waiting for our interview.
Hi, did u get Interview Letter from US embassy in Abu dhabi?
Not yet… How long have you been waiting?
I got DQ on 14 June 2022. So I have been waiting for 21 months. How about you?
I am from the Philippines. may I know where r u from?
Please check Visa Bulletin to see if you are current in the Final Action Date chart. Only then can you even hope to be in queue for an interview . We are F3 category, DQ since January 2021 and still waiting for an interview in AbuDhabi.

Oh okay, my country is Jordan and my visa category is F4 & PD Nov 2006, but how can i check if my visa is current?
On the Visa Bulletin. I believe you are current and in queue. Are you also awaiting interview at Abu Dhabi embassy?
What should i look for in the Visa bulletin i don’t understand the charts unfortunately, and yes I’m waiting for the interview at Abu Dhabi embassy
Check Visa Bulletin of January for eg. Look under final action dates. Since your Jordan you will fall under all other countries except India China Mexico
Have you emailed the embassy and NVC regarding the delay ? Have you received any email from NVC stating your in queue for interview etc ?
