    "DUBAI APPLICANTS" **Let's Network & Get Connected**

    Harshad, Thank you for the detailed reply, and reassurance. So if return service is no longer done by Aramex, does that mean Abu Dhabi VO bears the cost of the return courier? Not concerned about the cost, just wondering if I need to pay them through some other means :) Another question...

    Hi SK1123, Thanks for your post, it was very helpful. If it's not too much trouble, can I request you to send me a PM with VO's PPR instruction letter copy-pasted. Also can you share the name and phone number of the Aramex person at Abu Hamour. Would love to catch up over coffee! Which part...

    Thanks. Not sure who my visa officer is. The letter is signed off by "DRD" whose title is program assistant.

    "DUBAI APPLICANTS" **Let's Network & Get Connected**

    Hello all, I hope to receive PPR shortly, as my ECAS status shows decision made! Ideally I want to land in the first week of July, and if that doesn't happen I may need to postpone by several months. It seems that I will be cutting it fine, as Abu Dhabi VO generally takes 3-4 weeks to send back...

    Congrats SK1123, wow, that was quick after the MR!! When did you get the third line update? My MR came just a few days after yours, and I'm also a Doha applicant. So fingers crossed that my PPR comes in soon too :)

    Gentle reminder and request to all LVO applicants... please update your latest data (RPRF, MR, PPR, etc) on the spreadsheet! Helps everybody in understanding timelines and trends better.

    For all adults: Blood test, urinalysis and chest x-ray. Then a sit down chat with the doctor on medical history, and finally a physical exam. For children: Only test is urinalysis, followed by medical history chat (with parents, of course) and physical exam. For kids under 5 years, urinalysis...

    Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    Hello all. My job title and salary changed a few months back. Otherwise same company, same job responsibilities. Does this need to be reported to the visa office? I received MR + RPRF, but no request for updated Schedule A. Thanks in advance for your responses.

    Folks, I'm very happy to report MR and RPRF received on May 22. Not sure who my visa officer is, I got the email from "DRD" but I don't think that's the officer's name. PCC sent to LVO earlier on May 11, without waiting for request from LVO. This was suggested by my lawyer, and I wonder if it...

    Hi, anyone know if DRD is the name of visa officer, or does it have some other meaning?

    I asked my immigration attorneys the same question. They said it is fine to open the envelop.

    Thanks for this suggestion. What is LVO's email address? Do they have more than one email depending on the purpose for which we contact them?

    London visa office - Photo Request

    Hello, I received the same request from LVO. I will be sending the photos in a couple of days, but want to make sure they are not rejected again. Does anyone know why your original photos were rejected?? I checked my photos originally submitted, and they appear to fully meet the specifications...

    FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    Did your consultant receive an email on this? My consultant (law firm) has an automated system by which they forward all government communications to me. So far I have not received anything (Sep 25 applicant, Jan 12 PER, LVO requested in application).

    FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    That's a good point, +1 for highlighting. I went back to look at monthly number of PERs issued to LVO applicants (note this is only those that have already received PERs, since delays in getting PER is CIO's responsibility, not LVO's fault) May+June+July 15 (less since CIO hadn't issued many...

    FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    I'm awaiting MR from LVO, and have tried to predict when it will come. Perhaps a slightly academic exercise, but something to keep the mind occupied :) 1. Out of 713 LVO applicants in the spreadsheet, 340 have received PERs 2. Out of these 340, MRs have been reported by 96, and I estimate a...

    Fully agree. I did not get a satisfactory / clear response from the first customer service agent, so I called back 5 mins later and got a helpful one. I specifically asked if their records show if my submitted fingerprints were of acceptable quality, and he confirmed "yes they were readable, and...
