Counting thru business days...its day 15 here !!

I guess...its coz of the work load at Auh CA Embassy...Might be coz of Summer holidays in UAE and they might be more focused on visit visa's first

all they pretty much need to do is stamp the passport... there is delay on that... urghhhhhh...
day 18 here... if i dont get my passport by next week i will request them to give passport back - i'm not going to wait any longer.

Whatever the reason is.. this is ridiculous!!! I mean it's fine to take time with that due to work load or whatever but at least passports shouldn't be retained during such a lengthy process... i mean u can't block ppl's movement... emergencies happen and sometimes people have to book a flight and travel on the spot!!

I tried, VFS provide the same advice 15-30 days, and that they have no control over the processing times of the embassy. VFS only just moves the documents to and from the embassy, much like what Aramex does.

Can they even tell us whats going on?

Guys is there anyone staying in emirates planning to visit the embassy soon,unfortunately am not a resident of uae so am not able to do that

I might visit the office tomorrow but the Passport is at Canadian Embassy. Is there anything you want to know????

i tried that.. the maximum they will say is what's written on their website "bla bla bla is under process at bla bla bla"... that's the MAXIMUM of the MAXIMUM they will say. i even tried asking them, what's the current trend.. after how long are you recieving the passport, i got the same sentence again "bla bla bla is under process at bla bla bla"... don't even waste your time with VFS i am telling u it's a dead end.

lets make our own table showing everyone submission method, submission location, submission date, and receiving date and see the trends

I feel its more painful for people who have submitted their Passports by mail service than people who have submitted in person.

Sunday is the day guys, mark my words

As understand, On Emergency cases we do hv an option to send an email directly to Embassy stating the exact reasons of PP return. Email ID is mentioned on PPR mail.But it myt hold our process if our PP is in middle of something...whn we resubmit our PP's then everything will be started from start...
The actual cause of worry should start if it goes beyond 30days process time period...
