Thanks fellas,
I gave my HRC a call a few days back and they were more than glad to assist me on the matter. My wife will be issued a joining ticket on the same day as I, and her resisency visa will be issued fro inside UAE once I pay the extra fee of 1200Dhs. All I can say is if the rest of the company is as caring towards the needs of their employees, this has all the hallmarks of a dream job!! I'm already proud to be part of this team, and I haven't even started yet!!
