Abu Dhabi: H1B visas issued

Nonimmigrant visa: Temporary worker of distinguished merit and ability performing services

From Mar 2025 to Feb 2026, Abu Dhabi issued 77 H1B visas, about 6 a month, down 84% from the 12 months before. But it issued only 1 in January and February 2026, against about 8 a month from March to December 2025.

This counts visas issued, which shows how busy the post is, not how long you will wait. The State Department data here ends in February 2026, so it cannot show what has changed since then, such as pauses that started or ended later.
