Wecan,
i was in UAE for just 6 n half months but i have submitted UAE's Pcc.... no issues with that
but ur right that additional time will be taken to process if the person has been away from his country..
but again as u said itl take hardly 15 days...
i don understand their funda as well... they emcash the dd they make us wait... and processing time
after pps submission sucks.. no que system nothing.... its irritating frustrating... its been 50 days after pp submission
and also i heard they are processing on the priority of NOC's.... and i applied in may 2011.... still waiting... god help us all....
