Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I went to Abu Dhabi a day earlier. I checked-in a hotel near embassy. Next morning, woke up and left for embassy. I reached embassy at 7:15 am. There were 15 to 20 people already sitting on benches. There were more people in IV than in non-immigrant visa queue. I was the first non-Iranian there and after that few other nationalities came near 8:00 am. Security guard came and asked everyone for their interview letters. He dividing the IV queue in to two and asked us to move to a screening room near the waiting area.

They asked me to put all the things and empty my pockets in a basket. Then they asked me to walk through the metal detector. They took my cell phone and asked me to take my things after they did airport style X-Ray scanning. The guard asked me to go to the next room and then another guard directed me to the main building.

After entering the main building, was greeted by the security personnel and given a number and then asked to sit and wait. Pe... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Hello Everyone!!

I have been following this site and the Abu Dhabi forum. Thought I'll finally contribute my share! I am an Indian Citizen living in Abu Dhabi, and my wife is American. We got married last year and started our process a year ago. You can check my timeline!! I had my interview for the CR-1 Visa on 9th September'2012. Here was how it went -

Interview was at 8.00 AM as everyone else's who was there. We reached around 7.40 and there were already a nice bunch of people waiting outside. The line for immigrant visas were longer. We were the only Non-Iranians in the immigrant visa line!!! I kid you not!!

Finished all the security checks and got in, got token number 7. The first lady that collected our documents told us that we might need a Joint Sponsor because my wife was working here. So I told her, that my wife has already got a job back in the US and has her UAE visa cancelled. So she said, the interviewing officer might ask... ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Interview scheduled: July 17, 2012 at 8am
Arrived in USEM AD: 6:55am
Got inside the Embassy: I think past 8am

The security guard gave me priority #010. My number flashed in counter 10, honestly the lady in that counter was not so nice. She asked me to give her the FORMS and I asked "is it only the FORMS ma'am or also the supporting documents" and she said "EVERYTHING". So I gave her the forms and all other documents including chat logs, wedding dress receipt, ring receipt etc. and she's like "what are these?..." while she was reviewing the form I asked her if she needs our photos and she just raised her eyebrow! Then she gave me back most of my documents, only the ff were taken:

-ALL 4 DS FORMS
-BIRTH CERTIFICATE, CENOMAR, NBI CLEARANCE, POLICE CLEARANCE (ALL ORIGINALS)
-FORM I-134 AND FORM 1040 2011
-PAYMENT RECEIPT FROM NBAD
-MEDICAL RESULT (ONLY THE SMALL ENVELOPE, NO XRAY FILM)

FF QUESTIONS ASKED... read complete review

Been there at 6:30.
Been inside the consulate at 8:00.
Collecting documents at 8:30
Interview started at 9:15 and it took only 2-3 minutes:

Where did you meet?
How long has he been in US?
What do you do/your position?

That's it!
