Hi there, our applications were sent in 3rd April... still waiting...
I'm curious... which industries are you all in? Can it be that some industries' applications take longer than others?
I heard or read somewhere, not sure where tho, that there was a problem with the food industry last year and that is why there was such a long delay...
Anyway, I had a look at different timelines to process work permits and Abu Dhabi takes the longest of them all! They always had a timeline of 4-6 months and I saw now that they now changed it to 7 months processing time!! Wish there was someone we could contact just to get some sort of an update...

I applied july 22 2014 thru online application and followed it up with an email regarding my application and got a reply that they cant expedite my application because they process work permit as first come first serve basis. I hope this will be a useful info for all. Is there anybody here who applied online please share your timeline thanks....

I am not sure how it works... how they categorise applications... if for example care givers takes longer than jobs in the food industry or in engineering/construction... We submitted our applications beginning of April, timeline on the Abu Dhabi website says 4-6 months processing time however, on CIC it says 7 months. We emailed Abu Dhabi to ask for an update as they have exceeded their published timeline of 4-6 months, got a reply saying that there is a back-log so estimated time is now 8-10 months :( apparently most of the applications were sent in between April and August which also doesn't help with the already existing back-log... Anyone on this threat sent in their applications in April?
