I did. Reached there before the offices open. I was the first in line. They asked me the reason and the supervisor then let me proceed with the biometrics

Yes they give you a little slip with the fee payment link on it.
 
Just Google USCIS immigration fee. 

Cool. I received my passport back yesterday. Basically I got it back the next day after CEAC showed the status as issued.

I had my interview at the Abu Dhabi embassy. It was quick and pretty straightforward. Basic questions asked was how we met, where does my spouse work, have I travelled before to the US and what was the purpose of my visit.
 
The VO said everything looks good. However, he could not see on CEAC my birth certificate and marriage certificate. Also, I went in with my new passport since the older had a validity of less than 6 months. So he wanted me to upload to CEAC the new passport copy. I informed that the other two documents (minus the new passport) are already on CEAC. He advised that in order to speed things up I can email the Embassy the requested documents.
 
He then asked me to upload the AOS and IRS 2019 transcript. I showed him these documents as I was carrying hard copies of each. He said that this is good and he made a note on the system. 
 
I was then given a 221g blue form and asked to upload/email all the requested documents. He asked me to submit my passport as well to Empost. I did all this on the same day. After 5 days the status on CEAC shows issued. Waiting for my passport now.
 
Hope this review helps people out there!!

Ah I see. I got the email to send it in today along with the birth certificate. I'll have a look at the link.
 
Thanks a lot!

Wait for them to come back to you and then send your passport via Empost. I was instructed at the interview to submit my passport at Empost, hence I did it at the same time. You should wait, i believe, until asked by the embassy.
 
I did send a follow up email to the embassy email address asking for an update. I guess it’ll be good that you send a follow up email as well asking when can you submit your passport.
 
submitting passport at Empost is straightforward. The empost guy helped us out in this. We have to print a document from the link https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ae/iv. Follow steps. You will click on submit additional documents, print and give it to Empost along with your passport.

My DS-260 was also approved in 2019. Hence, that is not an issue. You nay carry the same with you to the embassy
You can get it from Dubai Police.

Yes they checked the DS-260 at the time of entering the embassy

I changed my interview location from Pakistan to UAE as well. I received this email too. This indicates a new case status, a new DQ. NVC had informed us on the phone that we will be moved out of one queue and into another. Hence the specific email is received

Congrats Zubaria, glad the process was smooth. Please do update on the time it takes for him to get back his passport as it is a concern for me.

They take 30 days to give interviews date 
expect yours by January 12, 2020
inshaAllah
