Damascus seem to be in the same position as Buffalo and London. Many applicants, utter silence on 2nd AOR + meds side of things.
Until the first person reports they have heard something we have no idea of timescales. Could be days. Could be weeks, May even be months before we hear something
Hopefully we're talking about weeks at worst though.
Of course it is not just Damascus, Buffalo and London - but the other 17 visa offices have just a few applicants at each. Damascus, Buffalo and London represent 92 of the remaining 152 applications which are with visa offices not yet issuing 2nd AORs. So basically once Damascus, Buffalo and London start moving on 2nd AORs that will cover 2/3rds of the remaining applicants!
