Mr. JMZ we are on same boat. I'm Pakistani citizen living in Saudi Arabia and my visa office is also in Abu dhabi. I applied almost 20 days before you on 22 April, 2016. and my MYCIC and ECAS status are same as yours.
My background checks started on 31 October. I hope we will hear good news very soon..
hii BioMed17,
yes i think the officer who holds applications for Saudi Arabia residents is too slow and lazy :( , also i have my friends applying from Saudi Arabia and have the same status as us . No one have updates on his process

If they received your husband application on 28 of February 2016 and he resides in Jordan or UAE both of them processing times is 15 months according to cic website, so you still didn't exceed your processing time :)
Anyone exceeded processing time (although his application was complete and they didn't as any additional documents) please share :)

hi W.M,

my husband application was sent on begining of Feburary not end. If you follow the forum from long time you would see that some other applicant got their application finalized within 3-6 months some other by 8 months. But my poor unfortunate husband it's been 13 months now.

And yes i can see clearly that the freakin processing time is 15 months but i will be very much glad to accept it, if it is the same for everyone.

it is not fair to see people who applied in August at the same freakin visa office got their visa and us who applied in Feb still waiting you sense what am saying ?

i hope u do
