Thanks masem, and regarding your questions..
- Do they ask for a new police certificate with the passport - Medical - Landing fee ?
for my case, they didn't ask for a new PCC with passport or medical, Egyptian PCC and UAE PCC (used to work there for 2 years, they didn't ask for update as I left the country already) were supplied when they requested them which was on the 15th of March when I applied as Federal..
- Do they request the passport - Medical - Landing fee @ the same time ?
Mainly they do ask for the Fees when they request the Medical and the PPR, in my case I paid them when I started the Federal Process, they mainly don't have to ask you about them as they're refundable so you can pay them any time you want, the sooner the better for sure..
- Any advice u can give us in order to avoid delay ? almost all of us sent our documents 5 - 6 months back and waiting the medical
honestly no advice, as from what I understood that they process every case separately, so every case differs than the other one from the processing time till the visa issuance, hear a lot of people got the visa before me and they applied federal as the same as my timelines, really just a game of patience, pretty boring and devastating I know but nothing to be done from our side to make them process it faster as they request a lot of data from many partners, just make sure that your papers are organized and in-hand when necessary to avoid any delays
- Any general advice ?
hmm, just have patience, I know it is a killer but really nothing in hand to do, and from time to time send them an inquiry e-mail, they won't answer for sure but at least it'll ring their bells..
Good luck really guys and God be with you all, and if there is any other questions just let me know and I'll gladly answer them
