United Arab Emirates.. Dubai/Abudhabi applicants

[HytmJabr]

I have an important professional event to attend in Canada in July. Is is a lost cause to expect the visa by end of June 2023 given that I applied in April 2023 for a business Visa? . And is there any way to expedite the process given that I still did not even recieve the letter to submit biometrics?

Average 2 weeks some took 3 weeks. I received correspondence letter on Thursday and I checked the application status tracker and on there I see a VISA DOCUMENT NUMBER WITH AN EXPIRY DATE, but I haven't received passport request yet. Did you go through the same thing? Saw the visa document number but no passport request yet? I assumed may be they'll send it this week since friday and saturday is holiday.

So many applicants like you, myself and more are on the same boat and we're discussing that matter in a specific WhatsApp group who already got BVL and Visa number but no OPR yet. If you like you can join too;
