sir g, i received a documents reqst letter from delhi visa office for my original dubai experience letter.here is problem that i have missed the original copy of that dubai experience letter which i have already send with my application to visa office.now i take new experience letter from my company, now i want to ask that can i send my new original work experience letter ..plzz reply
Yes, you can send the new (fresh) experience letter with a covering letter explaining that you have missed out the earlier letter, mention contact details of the signatory. Will advise u to have two originals this time, out of which you may keep one as a standby. I am sure they would call/email the signatory to verify the authenticity.

Remember to send the reqd letter ASAP by courier with of course copy of DVO letter.

Best Wishes,

Bestpal

Yes. Must always write a covering letter detailing your need to send the attachments or copies of reference for ready reckoning. Needless to say MUST always quote your File Number in all communications.

Other things still applicable as in my last email. You should NOT waste time to avoid a B/fd date.

Dear Friends,

Regarding CAD $ Drafts for Various reasons-Application Fees, RPRF, POF or Remittance/s etc from Exchanges in UAE

First the bad News : Getting a CAD$ Draft issued from AL FARDAN EXCHANGE or even UAE EXCHANGE is no more possible (at the time of going to the web) as they had to stop issuing the same. ???

Now the Good News : From 1st January the following two Exchange Houses can and are issuing Canadian Dollar Drafts :- 8)

1) WALL STREET EXCHANGE (Many Branches all over) Draft making charges AED 10/-

2) AL ROSTAMANI EXCHANGE (Earlier known as Thomas Cook)

So now, no more anxieties. Of course besides the above, Banks DO issue Bank Drafts usually to their 'A/c Holders only' albeit at their whimsical rates! :) :D

BTW, I got the most competitive rates for CAD$ Cash today through AL SHARAF EXCHANGE in Bur Dubai. 8)

Best Wishes,

Bestpal
All the best bro, I wish you and the family a smooth, safe and joyful journey. we will miss you here in Dubai :)

Dear Bestpal & Friends

How r u ? any comments on my time line as I sent PPs on 25th Dec and delivered on 27th Dec.

Any guess how long would it take to get them back in UAE ?

I am bit confuse as per courier package delivered at security gate/section signed by Mageste.

Do I need to inform VO about it as it was holiday season there and a security guard singed for delivery ! I am worried as some on on this forum got an email after couple of week from CHC London to send them courier details as they are unable to track his Passports !!!!! :eek:

As we all here on visas in UAE And Passports is like life for us but if god for bid something happened no one can imagine what nightmare would be like........

Please comment.
