Hi Everyone. Just giving an update. I already received my passport today with visa affixed. They stamped it on 26th November. I just sent them an email query this morning asking for status but they immediately replied that they have sent my passport on 3rd December. So if anyone of you wondering if they're off for 3 days due to UAE NAtional Day, the answer is no.
Anyhow, I would like to take this moment to thank everyone for all the help and moral support. It's not been an easy waiting game, but I'm telling you, it's worth the wait. Praying for everyone's fast processing so you could rejoin your families soon.
