Banks have probably figured out that transactions going to the UAE are cloaked gambling transactions. UAE itself should not be a forbidden country, as the US gets most of it's oil from there, and they wouldn't want to insult them and have them cut the supply. The UAE are also against gambling (Islamic laws), so they would NOT be offended by attempts to stop such transactions, indeed, they may even be cooperating because they don't want to see their states being used to cloak such transactions.
You would need to find a deposit method that appears to come from a more usual country, maybe the EU, or even Israel.
Banks are doing this ahead of UIGEA, because they want to have everything in place by June 1st, so they can be seen to be complying with the law.
You will have to hope things change in the US, and at least the $3000 you are expecting should refloat your QT account.
The delay itself may be similar to that explained by Nicholas Johnson in the Vegas Regal thread, the MC/VISA crackdown has set of ripples throughout the industry, and it is also having an effect on bank transfers, including payments to QT. Funds are not where they need to be, and some payments have become jammed in the system, and are having to be retrieved and rerouted.
The US player should seriously consider taking a break before June 1st, or at least playing with money that they already have in QT, and will not need to bring back home in the near future. It is the path between the US and abroad that has been outlawed by UIGEA, and funds used for gambing are not supposed to cross the electronic or physical border.
