I don't think residents of UAE are required to take a medical test for the visa process. For the record, it took me 28 days to get the visa.

Its the 4th week since my medical was received in London. I hope the embassy issue the visa soon.
I sent my passport when I sent my application, then my passport came back with the medical request. Once I got the medical done, I sent my passport back to the abu dhabi embassy.

UAE residence don't have to get a medical done, the people who live put side of UAE they have to gee a medical done.

Hmm. They didn't send me my passport back. :S
Why do they send it back to you for the medical? And is it mentioned on your Aramex form or in the letter they sent to you? That they've sent you your passport back and you're supposed to return it when you've completed the medical?

I'm confused and worried here because they didn't send me my passport back with the medical. And the Aramex form I filled out at the embassy, they used it to send me the medical letter.Since they made me only fill out one of them, what're they gonna use to send the passport back? :S

When they sent a request for my medical they also wanted to some other documents as well, maybe thats why they sent my passport back. However, im not quite sure why they didnt send your passport back.

Im supper tensed now because Eid is in a few days, and durning that time everything will be closed, so im guessing that if the visa doesnt come by the 29th, it'll most probably after the 2nd or september.

I suppose so. What other documents did they ask for?

When does your Uni start?
