does anyone know how long it takes for Aramex to deliver from Kuwait to the embassy in Abu dhabi? Im in a fix because i got my PPR 2 days ago and my passport is with my company and labour department undergoing work visa transfer (i changed employers recently).

Not only has the transfer not done yet, Eid holidays are up shortly and everything will be closed for 5 days. so, i'm just stuck. should i email LVO and ask for more time? That's a possibility i guess.

i appreciate anyone who has dispatched their passports from Kuwait to kindly advise.
thanks a lot in advance.

it took between 1 to 2 days but add more 2 days if you send it in weekend

Hi everyone, At last phase 1 over and we got our passports through Aramex Oman. Embassy takes exactly four weeks for stamping visa. my parcel was delivered on August 17, 2015 and it was returned to Aramex on Sep 15, 2015. Best wishes for everyone who are waiting for their passports. Aramex is very cheaper it cost me RO 50+RO 15.5 for 4 passports. Please pray for phase II.

the best is to pray harder, send cic email with a proof of the urgency of travel and hope it works.
trust me so many people have urgency of travel.
Note: you were told that it will take about 4 weeks while submitting your passport so cic did their part.

Wow, it's been over a month for you. How did you submit your passport? You should be getting it back any day now if the 4 weeks timeframe they are using nowadays is actually accurate.

Is all this delay simply a matter of workload or do they conduct further background checks?

Congrats and all the best, can you pls share whether the visa were issued at Abu Dhabi or were the passports further sent from Abu Dhabi to London by the embassy themselves, I heard that sometimes embassy send the passports to London for stamping of visas?
