I'm not well versed in how a Int'l license can transfer over to a US/State license.

In Texas had international license waiting for him when he arrived.. Took online driving license test/class..and took driving test. He has Texas drivers license. So,a license from Jordan, u.a.e, international, and Texas. The international license allowed me to put him on my car insurance and drive immediately. Even passed getting stopped by local police. Lol. International license cost $30 u.s.,the one i got him. Just fyi

I literally had goosebumps when you said YES! I've been waiting for this for 2 weeks and was checking the available slot everyday. Last week 15 June still available but now I only manage to book it on 30th June. This is really long and I wish there will be a way to expedite it. 

You're lucky. We waited 2 months just for this email packet

Hi

Thank you so much for your kind help. 

I got reply from support center and was advised that I could not make any appointment because I made a group for 3 of us, so that it kept showing as “no available appointment”. So now I removed my children from my account and made one by one, I finally managed to book for 23rd June. 

 

But I sent now request for “expedite request” as 2 months are too far and we wish to reach US before schools out of this year. Any idea how long later I should reply in case expedite request is granted? 

 

If our interview has to be 23rd June, I would like to visit US on tourist visa. Anyone can give experience entering US while waiting for Interview? 

 

Thank you ! 

Entering this far in k1 process to visit are slim to none. We were denied that. And expediting has to have a serious reason like for example your residency work visa is expired in UAE and youre almost past the 30 day limit and have to leave uae. We used that. School being finished would not qualify because school is out all summer in u.s.

I have the interview on 30th June and in the same interested as you. Can you please tell me how could I submit the expedite request? Is there any requirement for that?

They dont even allow expedite for a death in the family anymore

Hi guys, I am K1 case and being waiting for the confirmation letter from the AD embassy to book the interview. This morning I got an email from them without any content or signature, the only thing attached is 4 attachments and instruction to schedule the interview. Is that a confirmation that I can now book my interview?

 

Is it normal that they just send you an email without saying anything?

 

Any advice from you is strongly appreciated.

Yes. This is packet 3. Schedule your interview. Then your medical .Good luck. It will come before you know it and then on to marriage and filing AOS.

@Anna&eiad @Greenbaum @GeeRaf How much chat do we need? Is last 15 days enough? Last two months of exported simple text chat is coming out to be 150 pages 😓

I sent like 6 pages of chat and pages showing wedding plans.. Like the nikkah email discussion from imam in dallas and wedding chapel confirmation booking and the 6 pages of chats but I added like 4 screenshots to each page and printed. And I sent pics from thw additional trip 4 pics to a page for 4 pages. And 2 pages done the same way of screenshots of some video chats from different times/wearing different clothing. That's all.

I'm sorry that you are experiencing all this "push back" from others. Just a little advice. Take a day to sort through things. Put items in order of what needs to be done. Leave the marriage plans till you have your visa. Your trying to eat an elephant in one bite and that you know is impossible. So small little bites will get you through the "meal". Good luck. Keep us posted on how you are doing and ask those questions that may come up from time to time.

Yes I get the elephant thing but since the original interview was wcheduled back in January i thought mid march wasn't such a rush. Lol and we have the visa but trying to deal with getting out of the UAE work/resident visa/contract issues is the problem. Avoiding a future block to the country by this employer who is doing a good job at being a jerk is the problem. Yes.. As change of plans like changing the ticket and hotels when he comes are a priority. As I said I cancelled any wedding plans because I am trying to just get him here. So I'm not trying to rush any wedding or plan that at all. No worries.

Paying once online is sufficient and therefore there is no need to pay again.

Went to follow up appointment which they said why did you come? And he showed them the email saying your follow up appointment in person is 8 am and the usvisa site where the embassy scheduled the appointment 24 Feb. And the reply? It must have been for someone else. Great.. Very organized . haha better safe than sorry. And now the owner is threatening to put a block on him. So I may have to change plans and change ticket again and won't know for a couple of days because the owner of the company conveniently decided to go to Jordan again and wont sign any paper to release him from his work contract still.  At this point I have cancelled wedding and nikkah plans (and lost the deposts already paid) and have no idea when he will be here or what to plan. Sorry. Just venting as I am frustrated.

We paid online and printed the receipt just in case. 

Yes thats what they did and they asked for it. 

Just now, Fari Pari said:

Thanks Anna

 

So the passport will be ready at Abu Dhabi Madinat Zayed for pickup? Still going in tomorrow? That is bit crazy. Best of luck.

 

When is he planning on traveling out? When is the wedding  ?

Well all this delay I had to cancel our wedding venue and lose the deposit money. But I don't care anymore. Just ready for him to be here. Even if I just have something in the court I don't care. I told him to go tomorrow because I do not want anything else to go wrong. Ive changed the plane ticket 5 times in our 2 month delay..and there is a nice 16 hour nonstop flight Dubai to Dallas arriving march 9th. I live pretty close to Dallas and am planning a 3 day dun trip including Dallas, fort worth and Oklahoma. I will be happy to see if the visa is in the passport really.

Congrats! Not sure why would they need a follow up in-person. 

 

@Anna&eiad @Greenbaum @GeeRafOne question we paid the visa fee online and printed the payment confirmation page. The instruction from embassy one place says to pay online and another says pay fee in cash at the embassy. Just want to confirm that he does not need to bring dollars to interview next week since the fee is already paid. Its bit confusing.

No you have the printed you will not pay anything at the embassy. Don't worry. So supposed to go back Feb 24 at 8 am for follow up.. But i got email saying it is in empost and have a tracking number. I checked ceac website and case atatus and it says issued. So in case he will go to the embassy tomorrow am.crazy really.

Hi all, just joining this side. Just received notice visa is in transit to Abu Dhabi embassy. I tried searching the forum for an answer about this, but do we have to wait for the CEAC status to be ready to complete the ds160 or can we start that now? When can it be submitted? When can my fiance schedule a medical exam? And the wait for packet 3, anyway to expedite it by calling/emailing the embassy? Any recommended contact info? 

Sorry for the many questions. I couldn't find a clear outline for Abu Dhabi so wondering what people in similar situations did. 

Wishing everyone a fast visa!! Thank you! 

Medical is only valid for 6 months. Wait. But gather police certificates..fill out the d's-160. Birth certificates. If you are philipino, cenomar.. Any divorces..they did take my affidavit of support and divorce decree and new passport  photosx2. Looked at relationship evidence and pictures but did not keep them. Took tax returns

It took us from Dec. 13 case received at Abu Dhabi to Feb 4 to receive packet 3. Scheduled interview when case said ready on december 13. Interview Jan 15. Did medical almost 1500aed in Abu Dhabi Jan 8th, 2019. At interview denied entry and told to go home and wait for packet 3 email. Waited almost 1 month. Called and emailed all the time. Did not impact packet 3. Second interview scheduled Feb 13 after packet arrived Feb 4. Owner of his company held his passport. Missed interview. I called and reported what happened and begged for another interview. Received email saying interview rescheduled Feb 18,2019. At interview told apprived then when she opened medical, his vaccination card from jordan was not there. Given 221g paper with instructions to go get the 2 missing vaccines at the same Abu Dhabi hospital and return with passport on tues or sun at 2pm. Very next day was Tuesday. He traveled back from al ain and left passport and vaccination paper and told to wait 1 week. Same day I emailed asking for an update on case because he must give notice to his work. Same day an hour later received multiple emails stating he had a "follow up interview " at 8 am Feb 24. This is where we stand. Ceac website updated dates 3 times before packet 3 was received.

They scheduled Sunday 8 am and emailed this. But he said at the interview they said he was approved just to get the missing vaccination or paper from the abu Dhabi hospital where he did his medical. And gave him this checked on the 221g paper. They have his passport
