F4 Visa from Iran, non-resident, finally got our interview date. Priority Date: August 2006 Documentarily Qualified: January 2021 Interview Letter Received: April 2023 Interview Date: June 2023 That's a wait of over 2 years and 3 months for our interview date. In case anyone was wondering, F4 Visas are low priority visas, maybe the lowest? And this low priority does definitely affect getting an interview date as well. Other higher priority visas that were DQ'd much later than us got interview dates much earlier due to their higher priority.

Hello, my mom, a U.S. Citizen, filed an I-130 for her sister who lives with her husband and child in Iran. Priority Date: AUG-2006 Documentarily Qualified: January 22, 2021 Interview Location: Abu Dhabi So as of making this post, we've been waiting 586 days for a Green Card interview to be scheduled. We do get emails from the NVC every 60 days saying we're still in line for an interview, no action required, etc. (last email being July 25). I know that COVID-19 has really disrupted this process and elongated wait times- I think a bunch of Abu Dhabi (and other embassies) visa processing services were shut down completely for a while. Right now the Abu Dhabi website only has this sentence, "The U.S. Embassy Abu Dhabi has resumed routine immigrant visa processing services on a limited basis." Looking at Visa Issuance Data: May 2022 95 F4 Issuances to Iran 19 F4 Issuances by Abu Dhabi Embassy June 2022 100 F4 Issuances to Iran 37 F4 Issuances by Abu Dhabi Embassy July 2022 52 F4 Issuances to Iran 9 F4 Issuances by Abu Dhabi Embassy So it looks like things are moving (though July was rather slower). Is anyone else waiting for an F4 Green Card Interview at the Abu Dhabi Embassy? Does anyone have any news about the Abu Dhabi embassy, or Green Card interview scheduling times?
