inke bayad yeki mesle man 7 mahe dige sabr kone narahati nadareh?!!

Hagh dari....Mage 1 dokhtar cheghad feshar mitoone tahamol kone? Just don't lose ur patience. I know it's too cliche to say that every cloud has a silver lining but it's true!!

Samira there is no written law that the worst case scenario will apply to ur file! It's just an automated email....wait till the first batch of pprs arrive, it will clarify many uncertainties.

You guys will be asked for ppr soon. My friend had her application in Syria since Jan 18, 2011 and they asked for her husband's passport 4 weeks age. They have actually issued his visa in 21 days and he will be in Canada next week!

Sohrab!?!!!!! My file was received by Damascus on July 4th which is about 7.5 months ago! Just to clarify.....Does that suppose to mean they will finalize the cases that they have already received from Syria in 1.5 months from now including my application?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Is that right or I am being too excited that my brain is not functioning properly or what?!!!!!!!!!!

sohrab you don't know how upset i was today, you know one of those feeling down days, but you made me soooo happy and hopeful again, MERCIIIIIIII

trust me i know what you mean, i typed this 10 - 15 mins after i got the email, before that i was dancing to jalal hemmati loool, i was soooo happy , it just made me hopeful and happy, so yeah aziz it sounds A LOT better than i thought , i was expecting more, obviously the 25 days thing in their email is false, i knew that when i saw it, but i wish they would share this information to everyone, not just people who work for the government, its not fair, ok im here i can do this and make you guys feel good, but what about 1 2 3 years down the road, who is going to make those poor sponsors/spouses feel good? i dont know i guess its a policy, anyways, im glad i was able to bring a smile/dance/jumping to your life haha
