You are very welcomed. I believe the chance of Ankara interviewing your husband is quite slim, but you never know ... if your marriage is genuine, which I'm sure it is, there is no reason to be worried ... Don't give yourself extra stress. It is stressful enough to wait ...
lol true....
but by the looks of it ...this is going to last for some time...

Re: In process list

Yeah, I guess it will. I, myself, decided to come back to Iran (after 20 years of living in Canada) and live with my spouse. It is a year and 5 months that I am in Iran, married for 9 months. It is quite difficult for me to stay here, but at the same time it is becoming even more difficult to live apart from my husband. Good luck to all of us :)

BTW, this is the link to the chart:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjbAo-cfJJ1IdGVxVjE1SkN1c2lNUFhMTzJ4Uy1DUlE

and I believe Raha is in charge of updating it :) (not sure) So you can leave your info with Raha, and your name will be added to the chart.

i am curious...are you and your spouse living apart? or are you both in the same country?
in that case indeed i think i have a while to wait...
i just thought when it says six months by then a desicion will be made
We are living apart. I am in Canada with our 3 kids, he is in Iran. We have not seen each other for 19.5 months. I saw your post about coming up to 1 year apart.... The first year is the hardest. I found time went quicker after we hit the year mark. It is still extremely difficult though:( I hope they clear the backlog and things start moving quickly....

Damascus used to send out a form called residency questionnaire. Turkey does not appear to send them out...
And I can't totally undetstand how you would feel discouraged.... The wait is long and hard, but hopefully you will find great support on this forum to help you make it through the hard days:)

hi
i originally sent my application on jan 26, and i recieved an email on may 4th saying i was approved and everything has been sent to ankara. but so far i have recieved nothing else...its been two months today:(....
u sent ur application in Jan but ur husband did his medical last august, in my opinion most likely he needs 2 do it again. unless the new medical law really works then he doesn't need to do it i guess.

well i think it would...
but would the immigration people do it? but it says if the result is pending just due to the medical exam...
btw have u tried writing to ankara regarding your file? or do u know of anyone else who has? do they respond back? i tried calling them and the system just hangs up on me:))
