Hello,Butchoi501 said:Hi folks,
i just want to know if how long is the processing times in Abu Dhabi Visa Office for this year 2016.
Thank you...
No one can predict the processing times for 2016 and the actual processing time depends on the complexity of your application. You can check a number of sources and then draw some conclusions:
1) ADVO spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PblORrbClJ7xZ7enG5rFZZ7xqTz2N1ELLc2U4Cj7JY4/edit#gid=0 (this is why it is so important for everyone to add their timelines....). So far the average (of those on the sheet) for those who applied in 2015 is 8 months from the date of application received (10 months for all timelines posted since May 2012)
2) 2015 outland spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FAYZyQgud1lzp7fM28i2O8ZrfbMAxdTc_t7_fiwI6ak/edit#gid=658388151 (for a sense of how quickly all applications are moving (again this also depends on the sample size...so it's very important people add their timelines to this as well)
3) CIC Application Processing Times - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/ - currently it is stating 17 months (including 2 months processing time for sponsors) - so 15 months after application submission
4) the commitments made by the current government to reduce and decrease waiting times
Hopefully this helps...
