    Interview in Abu Dhabi

    Since I'm here, I might as well share my interview experience at this embassy two weeks ago. My husband and I arrived at the embassy around 8:00 and made it through the security checks at 8:30 which was our appointment time. It was a long wait before they called us to the first window at 10:45...

    Interview in Abu Dhabi

    Hi Megoman, In the 2 years that I've lived in the UAE, I've always used these guys for legal translations: http://www.dynamic4translation.com/ They have a branch in Abu Dhabi, so worth checking it out. Most of my documents from Portugal were already in English except for one that I had...

    March 2015 Visa Bulletin Released

    Hi all, My CN is EU25xxx which means I just became current. I originally submitted the DS-260 in June so I would expect an April interview, however, I unlocked and re-submitted my husband's DS-260 in November because we noticed his surnames weren't being displayed in the correct order (we have...

    Affidavit of Support (I-134)

    For some who may be wondering about Abu Dhabi and how strict their are regarding the I-134, I just got this reply from the embassy: "You must demonstrate that you will not be a public charge to the United States government. That can be done via an I-134 or your personal bank statements." So...

    DV 2015 winners from Europe

    Makes sense but what if the police certificate says it's only valid for a certain amount of time, like say 3 months?

    Some advice about money in the USA for new immigrants

    I wasn't suggesting the job was beneath him or whatever, just that it doesn't make since to completely ignore a person's experience and expertise and go off work on something totally different just because it's a starting point... It's not much of a starting point if it's not going to help you...

    Interview work-related questions

    First of all, you must not have read what I said... Who said anything about a counselling session? I don't need advice on what I'm going to do when I get to the US, certainly not from a CO. That is not what I was asking... Jeez, lighten up. And by the way, "what do you intend to do when...

    Interview work-related questions

    Hi everyone, So, I’ve noticed from a few interview experience threads that a very common question is “what do you plan to do in the US”. My husband is in IT and his particular field has a pretty decent demand so he will be looking for a full time job. Easy answer there. In my case, although...

    Some advice about money in the USA for new immigrants

    I read The Millionaire Next Door recently and I completely agree. Also, Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover is even better (less statistics and more practical stuff) and it makes the same point.
