Absolutely Not normal. UPS/DHL(not sure which one is used by NVC) should take days to deliver the package not weeks or months..Ours took 4 days to get to Ankara. Try to get the UPS tracking number and track it on their Website, it should tell you when it was delivered..

Good luck..

As you can see from our timeline, we waited for only a little less time.

The application will be queued in a receiving house until it is moved to the consulate to be 'received'.

I'm not familiar with Abu Dhabi. But, I would think you should get a notification soon.
