rawdah said:1. It is normal. Write a letter to LVO explaining that your wife has only resided in UAE for 4 months with dates and hence PCC is not required for her.
2. Health bay polyclinic has good reviews.

3. You can pay RPRF online by credit card using the following link

After paying, you can download the pdf receipt emailed to you, print, fill your details on it by pen, scan it and then email the scanned receipt to LVO.
PCC has to be sent original. Filled Forms can be scanned and emailed to LVO
4. PPR 1 should be the next step followed by PPR 2.
PPR 1: Passport bio page copy request.
PPR 2: Original passport request.
There is no specific time length on the process.
Thanks a lot Rawdah for such a detailed reply.
