people
I visited some countries as a visitor or meetting. Syria , UAE , Thailand , Pakistan and just for one week.
Dear Painz
I send my medical on 5th of MAR, 2009 and till now my status show in process and "we have received your application on 01, Aug, 2006"
and I send an email to CHC London they replayed that "Routine background checks" and what I think is more related to the countries that u have visited I have been into: Syria, Iraq, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, Indonesia, Thailand, this is not the scary part, the thing that make u frustrated is that there are some countries once the CSIS contact their agencies they delay on the replay like Syria and sometimes never replay on the CSIS request.
The whole process become frustrated and it is now for me now six months after medical and I don't know when this going to be end.
Good luck for u and please share with me if u have any update regarding your case.
