Hi,


I have started this topic for people who are in the process of outland applications for their spouses via the Abu Dhabi office. The process being what it is, stressful and full of unknowns, it may be easier for everyone to share their experiences and time-line.

I had the following questions to start the discussion with:

Does anyone have any information about relative processing times for Abu Dhabi?

How long do they take to send out a file number or client ID for the sponsored person

How soon do they call for an interview?

Has anyone had a spousal interview waived at Abu Dhabi?

How long after the interview do they issue the visa??

Thank-you!

This link has the processing times for all the visa offices outside of Canada.  Abu Dhabi doesn't seem to be onthe list though.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/05-fc-spouses.asp#all

This link has the info about the office itself.

When sponsorship approval is attained, they will send you an approval letter.  That letter will have your client ID on it.

hello

Don't worry, abudhabi is fast! My sister her husband got the visa in less than 4 months. :)


It took them only 10 days to send an AOR after they recieved the approval from cic-m.

Thank you for your replies.

We have not received AOR from Abu Dhabi till date, which is why I am concerned.

Do you think this is something to worry about? Should we wait some more before we contact the office to ask for AOR and File #?

Does anyone have any updates from Abu Dhabi??

Hi,

I think there are only few family class applicants at Abu Dhabi!!?. Not seen much posts related to this topic comparing to other offices. May be either no much members from this area or no one posting their views of problems.

Can any one from Abu Dhabi give some comments!!.

Hi Shirlmak,

For some reason, people who are going through Abu Dhabi, do not seem to want to post anything about their process or experience. Only ThirstyDeer and Fairouzm have written to help.

I am sponsoring my husband who lives in Dubai through Abu Dhabi. We received our AOR on 23 July 2008 and since then we are waiting for further developments....

Can you give some info about your case?

Thanks!

Shirlmak,

I know of one other case of someone sponsoring parents from Abu Dhabi. This is their timeline so far...

Time line at Abu Dhabi:

Sponsorship approved CIC in Sep 06
Immigration Application filed Feb 07
Abu Dhabi asked PCC and submitted July 07
Original school certificate for proof of relation, asked but could submit only certified true copy in Sep 07.
Waiting after that till date????....
On line eCAS "IN PROCESS".

I found this at the other immigration forum (immigration.ca/discussion2/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=6). The member's ID is kanthony. We have a few posts going for Abu Dhabi over there.

I will keep posting when I hear something in my case as well.

Good luck!!!
