    Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

    Raha jan, they can sponsor again but they'll have to start from the beginning including all the fees must be paid again. But first I think they can receive their permanent residence fee they paid in the previous application. Once someone sends the withdrawal email to the embassy, it's over. The...

    Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    Hi there, I think you'll have to apply inland. However, keep in mind that inland applications usually take 1-2 years to process so if you like to get your ppr faster, you should apply outland. If you can leave Canada, apply outland and come back with your work visa. But I think it's best if you...

    Hi Goli, They also check to see whether the marriage is actually genuine. There are a lot of fake marriages where the person (usually a male) pays someone here a large sum of money to get married so that he can come to Canada. I personally know ann Iranian couple like that from many years ago...

    Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

    I'm not sure if you can mail the application there. The best way is to ask someone in Turkey to do it like an official immigration lawyer, or a family member. Or you will need to travel there and there...

    Erina, Don't fill out the parts for Abu Dhabi residents and pakistani residents. Just the military service part and travel history etc. We also filled out the checklist at the beginning of the package. Good luck

    I agree. 16 months is the maximum and for cases that have a lot of complications. Timeline for most second half 2012 applicants is 4-7 months IMO.

    Dear Shahram jan, Here's what we did: 1. You mean the small sized photos 2.5x3.5? You will need 8 photos. Write her date of birth, and date taken, and her name. You will also need extra photos for the medicals as the physition will ask for some too. 2. Yes, that's what we did. Date, event, name...

    I don't think lawyers are willing to go to Turkey for your visa from Canada. The best thing as Sheyda said is to send you rpassport to Iran and that your relatives use a lawyer to do it from there. You can send it via DHL or Aramex which is safe. I'm not sure how it works if you are both in...

    Yes it's just temporary. Damascus VO was closed for a few months until the files were transfered to other locations like Warsaw and Ankara. And that was because of the war there.

    Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

    Yes the security checks can take forever. I've noticed people who don't have a travel history get pprs much faster than people with a lot of travel history. This is because the background checks are requested from every country they've been to and this can take months. Don't worry hopefully you...

    Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    Yes the wait time is now aproximately 6-7 months, more like 4-9 months I'd say. You will need 10 posts to add your information in the settings page. And yes, PPR means passport request so that the visas are issues.

    I think they would actually delay your application if you email them for not a good reason such as change of address etc. They don't like people asking them questions about processing times... It says it on their website... We will not respond to emails if not necessary and your emails may...

    Hi Erina! I know people who got married overseas. usually they do it in Turkey or Dubai. There are Iranian public noteries that do it there. But as Sepide said, they will give you a mariage certificate, then they will send it along with your and your husband's shenasname to an iranian Embassy/...

    DECEMBER 2012 Applicants--This is your thread

    What happened with our file was that we did our medicals on Oct21. Then the doctor used the old system and sent the files to Paris using mail. When I got the AOR, I checked and it said medicals received. So probably Paris and Mississauga matched the medicals and the UCID. I'm sure my application...

    Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

    Yes I completely agree! I think VOs there are working very hard. Let's not forget that there are also thousands of economic immigration apps and temporary visitor visas and student visas that they have to deal with as well in this office. I get really happy when some people get their...
