US Visa from UAE — Interview Preparation That Gets Approvals

The US B1/B2 has no visa centre and no paper file to hide behind: a DS-160, the MRV fee, and a consular interview in Dubai or Abu Dhabi that turns on your ties to the UAE rather than your documents. We prepare the form and the interview so nothing you say contradicts what you filed.

What Our Clients Say

Reviews left on Trustpilot by UAE residents who applied with us, quoted as written.

KR

“I had no idea how to handle the DS-160 or what questions they'd ask at the embassy. VisaWadi prepared everything and ran a mock interview that was almost exactly like the real one. Visa approved first time.”

Khalid Al-Rashidi

Emirati · US B1/B2 Visa

SM

“Was refused once before I found VisaWadi. They explained exactly what the consular officer would have flagged in my previous application and rebuilt the whole file. Got my 10-year visa on the reapplication.”

Sunita Menon

Indian · US B2 Tourist Visa

JO

“The mock interview session was incredibly helpful. I walked into the actual interview calm because I'd already answered every question the night before. Straightforward approval.”

United States Visa: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about United States visas. If you don't see your question, get in touch and our specialists respond within minutes.

Processing time depends on interview appointment availability at the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the Consulate in Dubai. Wait times for interview appointments currently range from a few weeks to several months depending on demand. Once your interview is complete, most decisions are made within 3–5 business days. Administrative processing (221g) can extend this.
The DS-160 is the mandatory online application form for all US non-immigrant visas. It is significantly longer and more detailed than other visa applications — covering your full employment history, travel history, family background, and the purpose of your visit in detail. Every answer is verified against your documents by the consular officer during the interview. Inconsistencies are a leading cause of refusal.
Yes. In almost all cases, applicants aged 14–79 must attend a personal interview at the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the US Consulate General in Dubai. VisaWadi will prepare you thoroughly for this interview so you know exactly what to expect and how to answer.
The most common refusal ground is Section 214(b) — the consular officer was not satisfied that the applicant has sufficient ties to their home country or the UAE to guarantee their return. Other common causes include weak financial evidence, an unclear travel purpose, inconsistencies between the DS-160 and supporting documents, and poor interview performance.
Yes. There is no mandatory waiting period after a B1/B2 refusal — you can reapply immediately. However, simply reapplying with the same file will almost certainly result in the same outcome. You must present materially different evidence or circumstances. VisaWadi provides a detailed refusal analysis and restructures your entire application before any reapplication.
Yes. Consular officers accept flight itineraries and reservations as evidence of intended travel for US visa applications. You are not expected to hold confirmed paid-for tickets before a visa is granted. What matters is that the reservation carries a verifiable booking reference. We tell you exactly what format your embassy expects, though you arrange the reservation itself separately.
The US government MRV fee is USD 185 (approximately AED 680) and is non-refundable regardless of whether your application is approved or refused. This is paid separately and directly to the US Embassy. Our service fee covers preparation, coaching, and support — it is separate from the government fee.
