Good morning to you all....
I just wanna start the day by saying Congatulations Hadaya...yalla nshallah 3a2beil the rest of us.
My friends....how are you all? Long time wallah i didnt check write anything but im alwas reading your news. I have some updated news from my MP...w baddei a3rif what's your input abt it. First of all I was told that not all the Lebanese applications are b Lebanon.Some went to other VO's evethough they dont say that. She said it is a big mess in Beirut VO, and that I could wait for another year. Which means 2 years.I tried telling her its been one year for me and never heard anything, she said so what so many ppl are like you, and that this is the last conversation she wants to have with me because she is sick and tired of ppl like me who blames her for the delay. I said im not blaming you but give me some info. Anyways, she said that country is the "war zone" and that Tehran VO is shutting down and the mess is just starting. They have no idea where to send the applications from Tehran and she told me this is the worst it can get.
SO definitely Im soooooooooo ANGRY at what is going on. I went to Lebanon a month ago and the secretary at the embassy was so rude on the phone. I have sent 2 e-mails (over 23 days) with no reply. THIS IS RIDICULOUS
It's equally good to hear from you; although I would have rather read something like you know much more than you do!
In any case, I wouldn't trust anything this MP is telling you because she's being defensive and rude rather than supportive and helpful; if you are contacting her, it's because you feel that she is your only choice, and her response to that apparent longing for help doesn't match up to her position.
Today is the 1st of June, a fresh month and the start of a weekend; I choose to disregard what she told you because it has nothing productive about it; and there's nothing we can do anyway. Past experience has proven that different MP would say extremely different things; however, we know more than we think that could prove her wrong:
1- Tehran VO has already shut and it doesn't affect directly the PPr process as it wasn't an immigration VO, the only people affected by its closure are Iranians who have to go to Turkey for stamping their PPR.
2- YES Beirut VO is a mess but we already know 2 forumers who got their visa including Kat who had a waiting time of less than a year.
3- We have to remember that not everyone who are going through this process are part of our forum; so there must be others who are getting their papers but we simply don't know about!
4- My husband has contacted his MP and she was extremely nice, she explained the limits of her jurisdiction in a sense that she can't speed up the process rather than just give general information, in our case she gave me my file number and advised me to redo my medical test, a week later I got an email from Damascus to redo the medicals. So they can only know so little.
5- In the past, MPs have given REALLY wrong information to a lot people; such as Sohrab who got a call from his MP explaining how long he has to wait AFTER HIS WIFE HAS GOTTEN HER PPR!!!!
Finally, we all know how horrible this process is, and how much it truly affects our whole being and existence; we have to rise to the occasion everyday and prove to ourselves that we can beat this by being even more and more and more patient, and when I say "we" I'm talking to myself as well! Because I truly need to hear this soooooooo muchhhhhh!!!!
In conclusion LELLO, myself and everyone, we have to have more faith in our relationships and in God. This is the biggest test we will have to go through in a long while (hopefully)! May God give us the wisdom, strength and patience to go through it everyday with grace without falling apart!!!
This truly adds a lot! I hope we all get a call soooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn.
