i'm new here in visajourney. Right now, we are processing our K1 visa application but not sure where to apply it. Im living and working in UAE for four years now but I was born in Philippines. My fiance and I met here in UAE and he is American Citizen living in Ohio. Im confused where we will apply our application, US Embassy in Manila or in Abu Dhabi. Based on the members review here in visa journey regarding these two embassies, US Embassy in Manila has fast approval and shorter time to get fiance visa compare here in Abu Dhabi. I need help. thanks

You are in a unique position to actually CHOOSE which country, which Embassy.

If your foreign worker contract is good for another 9 months to a year, I'd suggest to have it 'homed' to UAE, though - less travel for you, also no 'CFO' process whilst yer in UAE, either.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

If you are wondering where to send your I-129F fiancée visa petition, here is the information directly from the USCIS website: click here.

Since your fiancé lives in Ohio, he should send his I-129F petition to the California Service Center.

After your I-129F petition is approved by USCIS, and if you are still working in UAE, I believe that you will attend your interview at the American Embassy or Consulate in UAE. The USCIS process would not be any slower. I don't know if the UAE Embassy / Consulate would be any slower when it came time for your interview.
