Security Clearance / Executive Council approval
Hi BE'ers,
I have been waiting a few months for my security clearance to come back for a quasi government body in Abu Dhabi and last week HR told me that they were just awaiting approval from the Executive Council which allows them to be my sponsor on the visa and that was all.
Today I hear that they have had to submit my case 3 times so far - I understand that a lot of people seem to be experiencing lengthy waits for clearance &/or approval from an emiritisation perspective currently, what I don't know is how common it's for a case having to be resubmitted several times and is this just indicative of administrative issues etc. or likely to indicate an approval problem?
Thoughts from experience gratefully received as this is driving me some what crazy now after all this time!
