We received an email from US embassy in UAE this week so we submitted DS-160 & paid 265 fee online then made an appointment for my fiancée for next month. She will be traveling from Iran to UAE. Anyone have interviewed at Abu Dhabi recently?
She made an appointment for medical exam on Tuesday and her appointment is on Monday (they said 48 hrs is enough)!
She will take the medical exam in Abu Dhabi or Dubai ?

We will get the medical exam results today.
It’s been a long journey! Waiting for 10 days for just getting medical exam is frustrating!

Were you lucky to get the medical exam results? Or you’re still waiting?

Hi, for me it was about one week.beacuse I changed my embassy and some things messed up. But I saw some People in hotel they got that in two days. I trusted one tourist company to get my medical but they didn't .I went to interview without that. after my interview I send that to embassy by post ,two days later I got my visa. I went to medical center near abuhail metro .I think it was the name. They gave me some thing to bring with myself to airport in USA but no one didn't want that. I still have them.
Also how long medical exam will take and how long it takes which results will come up ?

Oh thank you for a very good information! Traveling to Abu Dhabi is not tough ? Arranging things because non-stop flight is to Dubai !

Hi!
Here is a breakdown of our expedite process:
11/24/21- Expedite request sent to NVC
12/7/21- NVC Acknowledged expedite request
12/9/21- Expedite denial email
1/18/22- Expedite approval email
1/19/22- "Appointment canceled" email received from NVC
1/19/22- Email from NVC: Case has been expedited and sent to Abu Dhabi Embassy (CEAC status changed to In Transit)
1/21/22: CEAC status changed to Ready
1/27/22: Email from Embassy with registration/scheduling instructions
1/28/22: Interview scheduled.
We had almost a weeks wait from when the CEAC status changed to READY until the Embassy emailed us instructions. I would say don't risk trying to take steps without their instructions, it seems there are already issues in the registering system for people who even got ILs from NVC then went to register. Not worth the risk!
Hi , when you could get an appointment? For the next month?

It’s for a K1. So when we got the email from the consulate that they received our package and we’re good to continue. We did the DS160, payed the fee, and made the next available appointment (after weeks of checking).
Oh I see !

That’s weird! You registered it on your own or they scheduled it for you ?

Oh that’s smart !
But actually I read it and it says you want to register it then you must have an IL from NVC or us embassy and I don’t know they will take your appointment in or cancel it !

Hello, RandW, may i know how many days you've waited to receive email from AUH embassy for the appointment instructions after your case was approved for expedite? Mine was approved on Feb 2, with email from NVC that it has been forwarded to AUH for interview sched. Also, my CEAC stat is is now "Ready" from "In Transit". Since it's hard to get appointment, i tried to book for March 14 even i havent receive the instructions from AUH embasssy. Thank!
So first they will send you an instruction and then you would be able to register your appointment! Right ?

You are right. My point is, they did not have these travel advisories before (I check the embassy page often). So maybe (I hope not) the COVID situation/drone situation there has something to do with it.
I don’t think so, unless they’d close the embassy !

I don't know. But I did check the Abu Dhabi US embassy page, and due to both COVID and drone attacks, they added a rather scary/worrisome travel advisory for US citizens (the travel advisory directed to this link: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/united-arab-emirates-travel-advisory.html)
That might have something to do with it (although I hope not). This is taking forever already.I wish you all the best and hope this long grueling process comes to an end sooner than later.
This is just an alert to us citizens not others!

Did anyone’s appointment get canceled?
We received an email stating that our appointment in 2 weeks has been canceled without any explanation. This is for our K1 visa.
Could the current events with Yemen be causing this?
When did you have appointment?

We've got our DQ 18th August 2020 Ir1 and for my son Ir2. we are Iranian and waiting for IL. I know some one in this page who is resident of the UAE with same DQ's date as mine haven't got IL yet.
Hi , how long medical exam takes to be done and how long it takes to give you the result ? Did you get an appointment there ? Can you share me the address of medical center ?

We completed our medical at NMC yesterday. It was walk-in. They said the results will be ready in 10 days. Apparently they are overwhelmed and that's why results take so long.
It took us 6 hours to complete the medical, it was very slow! If anyone is planning to go soon, make sure you calculate extra time for it in case they are running as they were yesterday.
Hi , you live there ? Or you just got there ?

Thank you!

After our expedite was approved they told us that the Embassy would need to receive it and review and they would then send us instructions to register online. That took about a week. Once we got the instructions email, we registered for the courier and then we were able to book an appointment.
I don't think its possible to register without the Embassy issuing an IL or giving you the instructions once they have received and reviewed your case.
Oh great ! No I understood it ! Thanks ! Then you got an instructions email after your case was approved! Congratulations!and wish you a big luck ! Happy for you and your family !

May I ask you which How you register your appointment when you didn’t have Interview letter ?

We didn't get an IL since we were expedited. We had to schedule it ourselves and found a slot yesterday for 2/10.
Oh I thought which they sent you an IL ! Then for expedited case you need to schedule it on your own !? Huh!

This thread helped see timings of others who have expedited.
Also, I believe they included in the acknowledgement email that I should receive a response in 30 days and if not, after that I can contact them? Double check, you may be able to contact them about it since its been 35 days for you.
When you get your interview letter after they approved that ?
