Hey i am soooo glad im not the only one! This is honestly the most stressful thing out of all the referencing!

I am going to the embassy this Friday, you dont need an appointment its just first come first served.

I got my fingerprints done and sent them off but they sent them back sayin they needed signing as well as the police stamp so had to send them again! Nightmare! I start on 7th feb but because Procious are so crap at getting intouch i had no idea how to do it earlier! Im so worried I won't get it back in time :( xxx

Oh bless you Jen!!
If you call procius and tell them you're worried you might not have it done before your start date they'll put a note on your application and let virgin know it's in the process. That's what a guy said when I called anyway!
Was you Emirates crew?

I'm sending them tomorrow then as soon as I have them back il go to the uae embassy, you don't need to book an appointment for the uae embassy he said you go there & there is a ticket machine so you take your number then get called, he did say it won't take long as it's not busy atm!

have you sent your fingerprints off yet? i spoke to procius and they told me it doesn't take as long as the embassy says which I'm praying it doesn't, I was thinking surely if it took 3months procius would know this and make sure we got it in time! When's your start date x

hey girls! I thought i replied but it must have not gone through! oh noway that's such a pain, I really hope the police signed mine & I don't have to go all the way back!

I'm hoping I get them back by the end of the week then I can go straight to the embassy, let us know that they say to you on Friday :) xx
