Hi all,

I am still anxious to know whats up with my passport in Damascus, Vivi told me that it takes a month to get my passport back but the issue is that my passport has arrived at the Damascus embassy two weeks ago and I think its taking them too long to issue a simple visa (dont they do it in one day if you go directly there). BTW I don't live in Iran so I was able to mail my passport using ARAMEX. Does anyone have an idea of how many weeks it takes for the embassy to issue the visa if you mail it directly to them and not considering the mail time.

Thanks alot

Hello all,

I'm new to all this and I found very interesting facts about applications and process time. I just got married in Lebanon end of January, sent in my papers in May and got reply for granted sponsorship first week of June. I was advised that my file was already sent to Ottawa for processing and just waiting for the next e-mail.....Anyone here got their application sent to Ottawa? ??? ???

That would be niceee :) to put the time on the older files. That could also mean that they might be thinking of a possible closure in the future due to political reasons. I am just wondering how could a person go to an interview if they process the files in Ottawa, maybe at the counselor in the country...

I've been trying to call the embassy for two weeks now, and it's non-stop busy! I have no idea what is wrong with their phone line, because I even call after hours and the line is still busy. I have no idea why it is taking this long for papers to actually process! I really don't feel like going back to Toronto without my husband!

My lawyer told me that if applications are sent to Ottawa its good news since processing time is much faster, and that it decreases the time by abt 2 months -it it was to go to Syria. because all documents takes abt 2 months to arrive to Syria and over there it takes them abt 1 month to start looking at the application. So now my husband is in Lebanon and he is running outta patient. Anyone got papers in 4 months that you know of?
