US Embassy In UAE Remains On Ordered-Departure Status Amid Iran War
Abu Dhabi and Dubai posts canceled every consular appointment through July 15 and now offer only limited help to Americans still in the country.
- Alert issued July 13, 2026, as the US-Iran war widens across the Persian Gulf.
- Non-emergency US government personnel already relocated outside the UAE under that status.
- All routine US visa processing in the Emirates remains suspended, with no resumption date given.
Why it matters: A state that pulls its own people out first has already ranked whose safety matters more.
