Welcome to the ME/NA Forum, Bombay !
I think you are our first member processing through Oman... not sure if Muscat has a reputation of being fast or slow. It usually takes at least a couple of weeks for your file to be "officially" received and then they do some office processing. But you will probably see your packet within a few weeks.
Oman is a beautiful and fascinating country -- I have a good friend in Salalah who sends me amazing pics.
Best of luck with your case... I will add you to the Cheerleading thread so we can cheer you on !
