Big day, Pakistan could be moved to Amber. Fingers crossed. But I’m 50:50.

So may I know if all the Indian friends who were in similar situations ( visa held due to red list) got their visas?

Hi

I need some guidance. I have recieved a call today from Abu Dhabi to confirm my application and then recieved an email to say it needs to be investigated further and then a following email to say due to covid 19 ban the application can't be concluded.

However on the phone call I was told if I get an email saying its on hold due to the ban then it has been successful.
