I have submitted my application through Empost on November 11. Till now I have not received any reply from EIDA. I do not know what the next step to take is.

I stood in the queue today from 4am with a barcode for the Emirates ID card. I was finally told at 7am that it will be done only for Amiratis till the end of this month and not for expatriates. Some notice should be put up to avoid people coming for no reason.
