"DUBAI APPLICANTS" **Let's Network & Get Connected**

1. U can land on or before the day the visa/s expire. So, it is Ok that u r landing a week before.
2. Yes, they can leave thru the very next flight. U can send their PRCs thru courier.
3. The rule pretty much remains the same as with a Dubai D/L. However, passing the test/s would be another thing as u r not familiar with the UAE/North American system of driving, as well as road/traffic management system. But, do obtain your D/L translation from the RTA in India, it'll save u the waiting period for G2 road test.

Hello Qorax,

I am a brand new member of this forum and having read the posts, I think you are the right person to address my query. 

I applied to CIC London, in 2006 and got the AOR in March 2007 under the simplified process.  In Feb. 2009 they requested all documents, which was sent early August including IELTS after request of 2 extentions from CIC.  Initially, I applied independently but later hired an agent, probably the same one that you talk about.  I was told by the agent that medicals would be requested in 2-3 months max. however, it has been about 8 months now and no news.  The agent says, the background check is on etc etc.    Is this delay usual?  Do you have an idea about the time-lines for people who applied under the simplified application process? 

Many thanks in advance for your time.

Attention: quorax
Your contribution in guiding the applicants has been tremendous. Appreciate.
I would like to know how and when CIC organises interviews in Dubai? My case is pending since June 2009 as "In Process". To my case specific enquiry, I was told that file is up for interview. It was 2 months ago but I have not received any interview or information. I am  NOC 4121.

I had reliquished PR  voluntarily in Dec 2008 as I could not meet 730 days in 3 years requirement due to attenuating circumstances back home. It was acknowledged by CHC Abu Dhabi and accepted it. This was mentioned in the FSW application. Your thoughts on the case please. Thanks

Hey Penpal,

Your indian passport is issued from India or UAE? Because my agent is telling me it will take more than 2 months to get PCC from Indian Consulate if my passport is issued from India.

G2009,

I was asked to sign a form voluntarily relinquishing my earlier PR, which they sent along with the medical forms and rprf request and which I was to return by feb. Subsequently, an interview was scheduled in march 1st week and now am waiting for some word from them.

I'm not sure if this helped in anyway.. just my 2bits. May the seniors here can throw more light on it.

Hi,

U can obviously carry all the funds in 'cash', but it'd be risky, wouldn't it? If that's the case, why not to convert them into TCs? Better still -a demand draft ! If the funds quantity is large, I wouldn't recommend carrying all that cash around.

For the bank a/c all u need is the Visa & CPR [also called here as COPR] copies. SIN can be given to them later. But yes, obtaining the SIN is just a 25 minutes job [provided there's no queue -which usually is not].

U can obtain the Forex from any exchange house here. The one u have a relationship with, if u have their Remittance Card, will give u better rates. I have the UAE Exchange's Gold Card & they always give me the best possible rates. I exchanged some when in was '3.423' to a Dirham & they gave me '3.333'. Again, recently it was '3.516" & they offered me  '3.4 something'. Though not much they can do, but anything was better, isn't it?

Qorax
