Hello everyone....been following this thread for a few months now, and I would have to concur with most of the guys here that ADVO office is working swiftly with the applications. My family's application is in the same timeframe as Phoem and Juju....
We just got a little tied up with the medical. It took three weeks for us to be schedule by Dubai London Clinic.
Anyway, we got our PPR today and we sent them are passports also today (Sept 11, 2013)
FYI, here's my family's timeline:
As per ECAS: Started processing of application 16 July 2013
Medical request via email on 14 August 2013
Medicals done on 2 Sep 2013
PPR on 11 Sep 2013
Sent Passports to ADVO via Aramex 11 Sep 2013
Congrats to all the guys who have already their visas and to the rest, just keep the faith! Cheers 8)
