Abu Dhabi processing time.

[coast-coast]

I am sponsoring my wife from Saudi Arabia through Abu Dhabi office. My online status satets that they started processing my file on December 7th 2010.

1-My wife did not receive AOR from the Canadian embassy yet , is it normal?

2-The processing time is 25 months in Abu Dhabi,Why is it that long compared with other regions?

Thanks so much for having the time answering my questions.

Hi,
Abu Dhabi is another slowest Visa Office. I got my immigration from Abu Dhabi after waiting, waiting and waiting..........!!!.
I understand the main reason is, because of they deal high volume of applicants who are temporary residents of Middle East. In such case the background checks/security checks are getting delayed compared to those visa offices who handle the cases of the residents of same country. (Ex: New Delhi).

Anyhow, please see trackitt.com for a comparison study of time lines.

Thank you so much Wilson.
That makes sense, actually my wife is resident of saudi arabia and not a citizen.

It is wired but my wife just found 2 e-mails from the embassy . they were sent on feb 2.

I have two question please.
1-she was asked whether she will cancel her residence visa but she wants to keep it in order for her to be able to visit her family, will this affect her chances of approval?

2- she was asked to provide notice of assessment of my taxes , is it 2010 ? or 2011 as I did not file this year taxes yet , can I just send her last year document?

Thanks in advanced for taking the time to answer my question.

Hi,
Usually AUH visa office used to ask some of the applicants (if resident in Middle East for employment ) to terminate their job and to get an EXIT only visa before sending the passport for visa stamping.

As your wife's family is in Saudi she can request the visa office allow her to retain her resident visa. It is up the VO to take a decision.

2. The tax return they are asking is to ensure that you are still a resident of Canada. They don't want to grand visa for your spouse if you are not currently settled in Canada. You may send the tax return details for the year 2010. If possible you may send Canadian Hydro bills or telephone bills for the month of January and February 2011, which will be a strong evidence for your presence in Canada.

I got PPR on Feb27. Submitted Passport to ADVO on same day. No news since.

Issue is that I am on UAE grace period till 15th of March, because i got my visa cancelled on 15th Feb. After that, I will have to start paying fines for overstaying. My new company has processed my new UAE visa but I need the passport back from ADVO for stamping!

What is the timeline for ADVO visa stamping these days?

Hi everyone

I hot a Decision made on 29 Feb sent to my wife's (sponsor) email. They recently asked me to resend one of the initial application form again.
I can't link my Application Number to MYCIC account I created in Website as instructed. Tried different combinations
Error message: <<Based on the information you entered, we found no applications.>>

Has anyone experienced that ?
Thanks
