Thanks for all the advice, everyone! We've secured a job offer for myself, listed some assets (stocks etc) that were previously not mentioned and I was gifted money by friends and family to top up our savings. My fiance had exceeded 100% of the federal poverty line, but not 125%, and it seems that the Dublin embassy needs to see 125%+. We're going to resubmit our documents shortly, wish us luck!

You'd have to notify them that you're changing countries for the interview, and I believe the Philippines has many K1 visa applicants. If at all possible, try to get it done in the UAE while she lives there.
 
Not your question, but I'd recommend you get your UAE police report while still in the country. You can request it online using the Dubai Police website while still a resident, but once your visa is cancelled you will have to provide fingerprints at the UAE embassy in your home country and wait up to several weeks to get your cert.

Yeah, we were happily shocked! The visa area seems very quiet, it was mostly US citizens the day I was in there. I hope it goes well for you.

Hi everyone - thank you so much for sharing this information.  I have been reading so many different scenarios I was getting even more confused 😳 I was calculating recently the times between various timelines and I was thinking it would be 6 months before I’d have an interview after submitting my readiness report. Your post gives me hope 🤩. I had read others had their interviews before their medical and wasn’t sure why? My medical which took weeks to even get through to the Mater - is early July… I have everything else ready. It’s exciting you received an interview date so fast after submitting the Readiness report. Thanks again for sharing the news! 

I applied through Dublin for my K1 visa. I had my medical on the 20th of May, and received my medical report on the 2nd of June. I filed the notification of readiness on the same day, and was e-mailed the next day with an interview scheduled for the 10th. My advice would be not to take the risk, and wait until you have everything, I imagine it would look pretty bad if you told them you had your medical report and then tried to change your interview date. Best of luck!
