I am an Abu Dhabi applicant. My husband is in Canada. We applied in October 2013 and my current online status says 'In process'. My medicals have been updated on Ecas and I had received additional documents request in January 2014. So everything is progressing smoothly I think but very slowly...

I am following CIC on twitter and they posted on 4th july that there will be a maintenance scheduled for 5th july but until now it doesnt seem to work...I think it will work in a few days....

It just means that they will process the notes from the last request date. So if you keep requesting it before you receive any notes, it just simply will never get delivered to you. Wait to receive the first set of notes, then only apply again.

If your husband is the sponsor, then yes you can only check the application status using his file number.

Yes it is normal to not have received acknowledgement from ADVO yet. My application was received on 3rd October in Ecas, SA approval on 31st Oct and I got an email from Abu Dhabi visa office only on 28th Jan that they received my application. You should receive the email this month...

Thats good news wo403! See if you can paste this link in your browser and the spreadsheet for all applying through the Abu Dhabi office should appear. You can see the avg timeline from when you submit your application until you get passport request...

Because it expires in a year and if they do not issue the visa before it expires they will ask you to do it again. Like mine now, it will expire in the next two months and no sign of my PR visa. So I am sure I will get a request to do the medicals again.

OH Really because according to JenPin's spreadsheet so many people did their medicals after submitting the application. Even when I submitted in October last year, the instructions said you can do medicals later or before submitting. I did it before so I submitted it with my application. But I...

Yes you can choose to do the medicals anytime. You could do it a couple of months after you submitted your application, or you can even wait for the Visa office to send you a request to do the medicals.

Normally the next step is request for additional documents if they need any. If not, then you need to wait patiently for them to process your visa and request your passport. You may find that your status changes to 'In Process' in between now and request for passport but for some people the...

I am assuming my application was transferred to Abu Dhabi in November because the sponsorship approval came through on 29th October, but still I only received acknowledgment from the Abu Dhabi on 28th Jan 2014. So that is normal too, to receive your acknowledgement a few couple of months later

It should be 15 months from when they receive your application which is when they send you an acknowledgment of receipt of your application by email. It is normal for e-cas to remain as 'application received' until they are ready to process your visa. Mine was application received from Jan 2014...

Of course you can visit your spouse while your PR application is under process. I dont think it affects the timeline of your application at all. If you couldn't visit, they wouldn't even issue a visit visa to you. But they issued one to me and I did go and celebrate Christmas with my husband. I...

Yes 6 months single entry visit visa. I am applying again next week. Make sure your wife provides a letter from her company if she is working as that is pretty strong evidence she will return.

Yes just ask your wife to apply for a visit visa through the embassy in Abu Dhabi like everyone else does normally. The first time I applied for a visit visa, I was rejected. Then the 2nd time we submitted a letter saying we wanted to be together for Christmas and they gave me the visit visa...

But I am not planning to go and live there permanently now. I am only planing to go on visit and live with my spouse until I hear back from ADVO on my visa status.

Thanks Asim, Once I receive passport request, I am willing to come back to UAE and submit my passport for the visa stamping.

Hello All, I have a couple of questions: 1. Is it possible to have a valid UAE residence visa and go and live in Canada with my sponsor on a visit visa and wait for my PR there? Has anyone been in a similar situation? If I decide to do that, then when I do get passport request, can I send it...

You are very lucky too! You received your passport request. Some others

Once you submit your application, the 1st AOR is sent to the sponsor only from CIC. The 2nd AOR is received by the principal applicant from Abu Dhabi office. At the moment it is looking like 8-10 months from when the application is filed but it is really case by case as some people have received...
