Hello-  I would call them and here’s why. They never sent us a letter in the mail of our interview date.  It had taken so long that i finally called and they said our interview had been scheduled. They were supposed to send us an email but we had not received that either.  So they then sent the email with instructions and the date and time.  So you are supposed to be notified 4 weeks In advance but we only knew 2 weeks ahead of time and it takes 2 weeks to get a Doctor appointment.  Luckily it all worked out for us.   But once your case is with Abu Dhabi everything is done via email.  You also have to stay on top of them.  There were 2 more times after that when emails were not sent and should have been.  Always call or email if things are taking longer than usual.  

We received an email from the NVC on April 2nd that stated the following:
 
The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiance(e)'s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy in ABU DHABI, UAE. The U.S. Embassy will contact your fiance(e) when they are ready to schedule a visa interview.
In the meantime, please have your fiance(e) and his or her children visit http://ceac.state.gov and complete Form DS-160, the online nonimmigrant visa application that is used for a K visa.
 
NVC Case Number: XXXXXXXX   USCIS Receipt Number: XXXXXXX   Invoice ID:  XXXXXXXXX   Principal Applicant:  XXXXXXXXX   Petitioner:  XXXXXXXXX   Interview Location: ABU DHABI UAE
 
 
Then I also received a second email addressed for my fiance from the NVC the same day. He then submitted his DS-160 on April 6th. At the time the first available date was April 25th and we still chose to select a date closer to the Travel Ban decision. We chose June 28th, then later changed it to July 12th. 
 
You submit your DS-160 and once you pay the fee you are able to schedule your interview. This is the only thing we found and you can select the Abu Dhabi tab. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/list-of-posts-k1-k3-visas.html (for some reason I can never open the pdf on my mac)
 
Again, I didn't get any packet from the embassy. I did however received an email this past Tuesday, June 26th with further instructions. You may want to look through the pdf I mentioned above and get as much possible and then wait for the actual email from the Embassy. It will probably be sent to you a couple of weeks prior to the interview as they did with mine. 
Hope this helps.

Hey there CandiH.
 
I have copy and pasted my timeline below.  I think this is a fair example of what you can expect.
Mind you, there were no RFE's or major hiccups in the process.
 
We had previously filed for an I-129f that was denied (just not enough time and evidence to convince the CO), so I was particularly careful 
in submitting plenty of evidence of a bonafide relationship. 
 
I see you're coming from Jordan, so that most likely will factor into the process as well.  I'm not familiar with the Jordanian consulate, so I 
would recommend searching the forums for those who are and getting particular advice from them.
 
I wish you and yours all the best. 
 
Be patient, and Godspeed.
