What affects processing time?
- · Embassy backlog and seasonal volume (peaks in May–August and December).
- · Whether biometrics or interview are required (no biometrics, no interview here).
- · Document completeness — missing items can add 2–6 weeks.
- · Whether premium / priority processing is available at the United Arab Emirates embassy.
