non-digital pics
Hey all! I have some questions regarding the new joiners candidate portal. In the field 'preferred name', do they want my nick name (e.g. Katie) that would appear on my name badge? Also, 'mother's name': her maiden name (as in my birth certificate) or her post-marriage name(as in her passport)?
As for the passport photos I have to take to Dubai: what do they mean by 'non-digital' photos? Do they want old fashioned film-developed pics, or any non-polaroid will do (and they mean 'non-digital' as it's not on digital device e.g. cd or pendrive)? I don't think there's any place within a 80 km radius from my home where they still do passport pics by the old-fashioned method
Could someone please kindly advise?? Thanks a million!!!

Relax sweets, you're already in. They just want to confirm something, or maybe the first copy you sent didn't go through. Your mind is playing tricks on you, ou have nothing to worry about. I'll ask around and see if I can get a Kenyan with the same DOJ as yours. All the best 
.
oijsx, they mean film-developed photos. The girl I helped go through was told the same exact thing and the reason they need this particular type is for forensic purposes.I know it's a hassle, but you have to do exactly as they wish, even if it means travelling that far to take the photos. All the best to you too

i think they want film developed photos because on a digital photo, it would be easy to edit it to make your teeth whiter or your skin clearer. They know what they're getting with a film developed photo. At least thats what i'm assuming!

Photos
When I got mine done it was the same and the man in the photography shop who took them also took the pics for the military and Police I.D's etc. He told me that digital pictures fade (which they do) and that although he took the photos with a digital camera he actually processed them on proper old fashioned Kodak paper and they turned out to be fine and they were accepted.....not by EK but QR I guess it's the same.

Yes, well, same here with the photos. (They were great!!! Slovakia, last minute, the 3rd studio we tried... Getting a bit nervous... Yes, well, it was 5 years ago...) Digital. They accepted them that time... Hm, new times...
FOLLOW THE INSTUCTIONS! Whatever they are, just follow them word by word. You will be fine if you do so.
- Why did you (whoever it is, admins or moderators) delete my post about 'getting to know the accomodation'. When I said: 1-7 days before DOJ. The girl said: "thank you, Mari" and both posts got deleted by someone. Just curious... No text speak or being rude or anything... What was wrong?! Shall I change my password or what?! -

Also, 'mother's name': her maiden name (as in my birth certificate) or her post-marriage name(as in her passport)? Have a good day guys and thank you so much for the helpful infos, this forum is ace!! Cheers!

If you go to a final interview, the recruiters will cut the photos (two for your application form, two for your visa application and the other two I don't remember what for). So leave them as they are.
Anyone who traveled to Dubai from a destination currently not served by Emirates could tell me if the ticket includes 50 kilos of luggage on the connection airline too? Thank you in advance!

Obaidullah Building 6, Al Quasis
Hi guys,
My accomodation is Obaidullah Building 6, Al Quasis. Can anyone tell me about this place. I've already searched Pprune and can already see that apparently it's very close to airport but far from city.
Can anyone else give me any info on this building/area.
Thank you!

As for Obaidallah, I have a few friends that live there. I do know we ordered the most amazing pizza from a shop downstairs!!!
It's a group of buildings along one road, the apartments some have balconies some have just the tiny railing outside the opening sliding door (like a balcony but not beig enough to actually stand on it)
The area seemed not too bad, lots of little shops and things but obviously not so like the city, as in there were lots of Indian people around as I think that area has a lot of workers living there.
Perhaps someone who lives there could tell you more about the facilities etc,
My friend's apartment has big bedrooms, nice furniture, the sofa is like new and very nice...
Also for the person asking about UP, I forgot to add, there are no balconies, the windows do not open. It is a mixed building. Up to the 31st floor is EK staff, the top floors are private use. There is a mix of cabin crew, pilots and other employees also. (Like some office and management)
