hello bless2011,
Regarding NBI clearance, since I'm still here in Dubai, I did get a copy of the NBI form from Phil consulate, then did finger printing at the police station, after finger printing you will go back to the consulate and they will stamp/seal the form and then you can send it to the Philippines for renewal process, my brother submit my application to the NBI office on Nov 21 and it will be released on Nov 29...sad to say the process is too slow
I decided to wait for my new NBI clearance before submitting my visa application to Abu Dhabi, hopefully I can complete all the requirements before end of Nov and submit it by first week of december.
Good luck, hope your MR will come out soon!
