our appointment was 9Am but we went early at 8am and they let us in.
After security we went to the 1st counter one lady gave back all original Documents and any additional they had on file and told me to go another window for finger prints. After scanning we went to the next window there is one lady start questioning
She only asked me many questions:
What is your wife's name?
How did you meet?
Where will you live?
Where does your co-sponsor work?
what is his job position?
how long u have been married?
where did you get married?

Then she asked my wife:

after stating that I moved to Dubai she asked When?
She asked if she hadn't worked since last year, she said no i work in dubai
What do you do?

The interview went very well she said your all documents are fine,But we have to do additional process and she put me in Black-whole AP.

My husband had his interview today at the Abu Dhabi US embassy. We originally filed for Islamabad but due to work he moved to Abu Dhabi so we filed his DS-230 from there and he changed the embassy to Abu Dhabi.
I don't have very many details about initial screening and all that because I was given some brief details by him since I am in the US. He said he was interviewed by two people. The first person was a lady and gave him a hard time about the financial sponsorship not being adequate and the possibility of us having to find another co-sponsor (since I am a student on loans so i cannot provide the financial sponsorship).
The second person who interviewed him asked him the same questions but my husband's answers re-assured him that it was a minor detail and nothing big enough to hault the application. The interviewer then stated that there was a new rule where any pictures or video or any media sent by CD or anything of the sort was no longer allowed to be opened or viewed at the embassy. My husband unfortunately also only took a CD of pictures which they took away at the gate. So basically, the guy said we didn't have any pictures for proof. Which I thought was ridiculous and the NVC or the embassy should have requested us to bring the hard copies. Regardless, he gave my husband a white sheet saying unfortunately the visa was rejected but he crossed out the section underneath about having to re-apply or appeal. He said since we didnt provide pictures, its the only sheet he could give him but he kept my husband's passport and provided him the embassy immigrant email to email the pictures to. He then told my husband to come pick up the passport on Sunday. There was no other further clarification.
I want to be positive and think that it means the visa will be stamped on his passport when he goes to pick it up so someone please let me know what this means if they kept his passport and told him to come pick it up in less than a week?
