I sent my docs directly to ADVO through Aramex on 5th May. Aramex confirmed that it was delivered on 6th May. I will keep checking on Aramex website using the return airway bill to see if ADVO have dispatched it. I guess it won't be done before first week of June. 4 weeks TAT seems like a really long time in comparison to the PPR processing time (less than 2 months in my case).

Hi, when did you receive your passport? I've also sent our passports directly to ADVO through Aramex from Bahrain. It's been two weeks and there is no update yet.

Hello All

I'm looking for some inputs here, Has any submitted their passport and other documents to Embassy directly instead of submitting it through the VFS centers ? (my local banks did not prepare draft in UAE Dirhams, therefore I had to opt for the Option , that is to send to the embassy directly). My Aramax delivery note shows that the package was delivered on the 13th of May. So far there has been no update from their end.

Also, the agent over here had not asked me to make a prepayment for the Aramax airway bill which the embassy would use to revert the package to me. He said I'll have to pay it once the documents are back before collecting.

Any idea how long it taken for the embassy to ship the passports back ?

We sub out passports on Apr 26, 2018 to VFS Dubai and haven't heard back since... Still waiting. It seems it's taking a long time. Got ppr on Apr 20.

It has been approx 28 days now and almost 4 weeks

Waiting patiently...

Based on people who are getting COPR from ADVO, it looks like they take the entire 4 to 5 weeks to issue COPR. We should be expecting this week.
