Hi to all! :) After submitting the documents to Nova Scotia, I was curious to know which visa office my papers would later on be processed if I am residing in Saudi Arabia? I am not a citizen of Saudi Arabia but I currently work here. Is it the Abu Dhabi or the London visa office? And on average how long does the process take?

In addition, if anyone here has applied from Saudi Arabia, I would like to know if there is an interview required by the embassy?

Thanks a bunch :)

Oh I'm sorry, I just looked into the visa processing centers and there are the London visa and the Manila visa offices that may accept my applications as per the rule of choosing a visa office based on the country of nationality or the country of residence (at least one year).

To all who have gone through the process with the London and Manila visa offices, which visa office would you advice me to choose?

Thank you
