Dear xxxx

We are pleased to inform you that your immigration case is ready for issuance. You or another trusted person may bring your passports to the Embassy in Abu Dhabi any Sunday or Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., excluding holidays. In most cases, the visa will be ready for pick-up in 4 to 7 days. Embassy staff will provide further details when you drop off your passport(s).

The administrative processing on your file has been completed. However, a visa number may not be available for your file within this month.

Please note: if you do not send your passport immediately, a visa number may not be available for your file within this month.

Please check the Department of State’s current Visa Bulletin at Click here for information about visa availability for your visa category.

• New medical examination is required.

does anyone know why it says new medical? I thought you have a year until it expires?

and what do I need to enter the embassy? just my passport?

You do not need a lawyer. They don't help speed up the process. You can fill out and do everything on your own.

As for 3 years, ask if they were put on AP? and how long that process took? I filed March 7, 2013 and am stuck in AP for 6 months now.

My interview was on October 9, 2013 in Abu Dhabi. My case shows a status update of Jan 5, 2014. I'm at 141 days and very frustrated.

We've been in Ap for 5months now, I've called and emailed after 90 days. I get no where, everyone is extremely rude! I hope everyone else has a better experience than we have had.

It's really important that you make enough to support your fiancée. When my fiancé went to the embassy in Abu Dhabi he told me they were more concerned with what I make rather than our relationship. I don't know if it's because when I sent my packet I had more than enough evidence to show our relationship was real or not. I personally believe it's because they care more that we don't bring some to the U.S. that will take advantage of our government.

Don't worry about him being poor. As long as you make enough to support him thru the K-1 process is all that matters to the government.

I received my NOA 1 on March 6, 2013 and my NOA 2 was approved on June 25, 2013. I received my notice in the mail on June 28, 2013.
