The majority are being sent to ADVO. You still need to specify the VO in your application, but we have seen a few cases for people residing in the Gulf were their applications are being sent to LVO, with no logical reason so far.. Good luck.

where i have to mention? i guess there is no any option to put visa office information? only my address belongs to UAE.

Thanks

Hello Kathkath, she applied to the VFS in Kuwait. It took 15 days, from the day she applied until we got the application back from UAE

Hello Sarim Immigration Form IMM0008 , question N0.4 should allow you to request for the Immigration Office. But like Haldashti mention some are going to different VO , without any logical sense.

I would be optimistically cautious - but in progress is an indication that your background and security clearance has begun. I dont see them asking for any additional document. At this point it is hard to asses how long it will take as you can already see some get there PPR in a short time and others have to wait.

WOW Sarim - Forms have changed since we applied, I looked up my form an Q4 is the Visa Office Information, now its disappeared.

Could any members share some light on this matter ?

You are right Impresso, looking at IM0008, it's dated 04-2015, the new form does not give you that option(visa office to process the application). I looked at my form, and #4 was "Immigration Office Requested for Processing This Application", it was a drop down of choices. Looks like it's not an option any more..
 
Dear All

This is very useful thread and since I am applying for my wife who is based in Dubai but is a pakistan national,
I have gotten the requirement down and I will be applying from Canada as an outland applicant
- Marriage Certificate (Translated by appointed personal if in Arabic )
- Wedding Invitation Cards and Greeting sent my relatives and family members
- Email Communication between you and your wife
- Call History via phone or skype
- Chat Log between you and your wife from facebook/skype/whatsapp/viber/bbm/
- Pictures ( Focus on group pictures with friends and family, wedding , engagement, reception etc etc
- Hotel Bookings Receipt if any where you stayed together
- Air Flight Tickets ( proof of travelling together ) and boarding passed, also including future booking plans
- Money Transfer Receipts ( showing proof of support )
- Joint Bank Accounts if any
- Gift Receipts purchased for each other
- Dates and Places visited together.

Now My question is do I need to do her Police clearance and medical now or it can be done later on when the file is transfered to AUH office ?

Also what is the typical time line I can expect from AUH office?

If it will take longer can she apply for the visit visa in the mean time while her application is being processed ?

Cheers
