Hi All,

My parents applied for a TRV from VFS Islamabad, Pakistan on Dec 17, 2018 by submitting a paper application. Biometrics were submitted on the same day. Today after 50 days they both received email from Abu Dhabi visa office re: "validity of biometric info". However no info on visa decision.

Does anyone know how much longer do we have to wait to get a decision? Already exceeded the average processing time for Pakistan(38 days) and UAE (28 days).

Hello. I got my approval letter within 20 minutes of receiving the biometrics letter.
