Hello all,

I hope to receive PPR shortly, as my ECAS status shows decision made! Ideally I want to land in the first week of July, and if that doesn't happen I may need to postpone by several months. It seems that I will be cutting it fine, as Abu Dhabi VO generally takes 3-4 weeks to send back stamped passports.

For those who have received PPR emails to send passports to Abu Dhabi VO, can you kindly copy/paste the text of the email. Is Aramex the only option, or can I use DHL or Fedex as I feel they are faster / more reliable. Also can you share what exactly I need to tell the courier, so there is no confusion? I live in Doha.
Hi Prash42

I received PPR last Thursday and sent via Aramex to Abu Dhabi (as instructed by LVO) yesterday. If you visit Aramex in Abu Hamor, staff will help you as they are fully aware of the process. Also you will get clear instruction letter from VO when you receive PPR... So don't worry.

I was also looking for the info how long Abu Dhabi visa office takes to stamp visa. One of the applicant in this forum got his passport back in 11 days. So I assume it will take about 2 weeks time.... Not more than that!!!

BTW I live in Doha as well!!!! Let's have coffee together if you have time :)

Dear Seniors. Need your guidance. I raised CSE of 27 April 2015 and till date, havn't received a response. The only communication with LVO was when they sent me an email asking new set of Photos back in Feb.

What should I do, re-raise CSE or send an email on the same email id on which the photo request was sent from. I am really tense and want to know my application status. Thanks

Please seniors and those who experienced such issues guide me, I really need help.
On my enquiry to LVO I got response 2 days back, initials mentioned is RFI.
1- He/she stated that my application is currently awaiting review, what's that mean? As I m 4th Sep, 2014 applicant and got PER on11th Dec, 2014 since then no response. How much further time lvo will take to send MR?
2- I also asked about PCC which i didnt submit with my appplication and how should I inform lvo about change in resident status of my spouse, then got response that I can send any documents or update them on the provided address in email.
What would u guys suggest? Do I have to send documents or wait until they ask me?

Dear Experts

Need advice please as I start to be worried, my SLU was updated on 25th of April with Schedule A updated forms.
Submission done on 29th of April, but till now I didn't receive any further requests of MR.
As far as I can see in the forum, MR is within one or two weeks following SLU.
Anyone face the same issue.
VO : RIH.

Hi SK1123,

Thanks for your post, it was very helpful. If it's not too much trouble, can I request you to send me a PM with VO's PPR instruction letter copy-pasted. Also can you share the name and phone number of the Aramex person at Abu Hamour.

Would love to catch up over coffee! Which part of town are you in? I work / live in West Bay.

Cheers,
prash42

Quick Suggestions​

Is it okay if I submit the requested updated forms electronically signed in adobe acrobat,PDF format?
Or
Do I have to take the print and sign the forms then scan them and convert them in PDF format and mail to concern VO?

Actually when I opted second method the re scanning resulted in very low resolution that very very hard to read. Need you quick suggestions as I am running out of time.

Hi SWEETYks,

I ordered mine last month through a web site called visafile dot info. The cost starts from $25 (which i paid) and It took exactly 30 days to receive them. I received a report of 48 sheets full of what ever information i submitted and my file trip from one shelf to another. The most important info was the expected day of processing which is determined to be 6 months after receiving my PER.

I hope this help.

Regards,

Dear

Kindly share the details of your NOC and place from where u applied / nationality so that I can add your data in RFI applicants chart. In my opinion, you should not send PCC until VO asked but you can inform VO regarding changes in resident status with uploaded documents through email.
