***Has anyone recently applied for visitors visa from Beirut while PR in process?? Please someone advice me...if interviewed what do they ask???***

thx guys...hope the best for everyone nshallah

Tina, I applied for a visitor visa last April and there wasn't an "interview"... All I did was prepare the file and when I got my "submission" date, I went to the embassy in Beirut and went to the window and gave the lady my file. She didn't ask specific questions, just checked if my file is complete. Try to put all the documents in order as per the sheet that specifies the documents. I applied when my process has just started and they gave me a multiple entry visa for a year because I asked and paid for multiple entry visa. A lot of people told me that it is a waste of time (not from the forum) and I think it's really just how much you show your ties to Lebanon and most importantly if you have travelled before. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions, let me know. Best of luck!

Well guys, i guess i will call it a day, i'm willingly going to withdraw my file, i can't bare this neglect from Canada which is known for the human rights, i mean we have the right to have a simple clue about our cases, it shows on the CIC site that information are updated weekly but my status has been the same since 29 MAY2011, the letter of acceptance of my wife since she is my sponsor were sent to Damascus on 5 May 2001 and since then nothing ever changed, i called them by phone twice,they said that they can not give any information, i sent several e-mails but no answer, i'm really fed up, i refused several job offers abroad but i can not be that lost anymore,i'm starting a new work in May. I've been waiting since January 2010, the lawyer is a liar, CIC do not care, problems are rising at home since no idea what shall be done.
Good luck to all of you guys, wish you all the best. Hopefully they won't make you wait without any light for years from now, who knows, maybe they are waiting for all the people applied to get divorced so no one will ever think of going to Canada, or even waiting for the last arab regime to fall.
100% convinced, no regret at all, back to normal life and awareness after 2 years of dreaming about non existing reality.
Hoping one file down will help another to advance.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone....what a great weekend. It's like summer in Toronto, and too bad its winter back in Beirut. heheheh n2alab l ta2es serna here warmer than Beirut. How's every1 doing and any news with anyone?
I head that someone got their papers from Ankara, bas still no one from Beirut. Ana i have been busy the last week getting ready to go to Lebnein and hey at least i will not think of the papers for now...I was in a depression mode and I have to go there to feel alive again. Because with the situation like that, its death in a slow motion for anyone who has to wait from 12-15 months.
Fadimaya, Ottawa_2010, anoushka....how r u guys? long time no hear...sho fi a'7bar? wlk ma 3edet sme3et mnkoun shi....yalla nshallah ya rab soon we will hear something. Stay + and keep ;D

 

[Anoushka]

Lellooooo
Today it will be 8 months since my papers were sent to Damascus, I know it is not much comparing to others but waiting without any hope is killing us. I am happy for you at least you will meet your spouse and enjoy your vacation.
Have a nice day & Good Luck for everybody

[Anoushka]

Hello everybody,
Guess what???!!! I went to the embassy lately and ask one of the officers if they started to work on our files that came from Damascus and she said yes I guess they already have started ...
They must hurry because more files are coming.
Yalla hope soon we all will get our visas and start our normal life with our loved ones.

Hello everyone,

I see that you have created a new forum for the lebanese who had a sponsorship application in Damasus.
I would like to share with you my experience.
I am also a lebanese sponsoring my wife. Our application was recieved in Damascus in january 2011. Fortunatly my wife was able to get a touristic visa. when she came to canada, few month later she was pregnant and as she had not a health insurance she went back to lebanon in april 2011 to follow her pregnancy hoping to come back soon to canada in order to give birth here. Time was passing fast as she had to travel before the 6th month of pregnancy.
After a long and frustrating time she got a study permit to come back to canada and to have a health insurance. we were too lucky, and my wife gave birth for a twin of boys.
In october 2011, a lady from damascus called us asking my wife to redo the medical exams, but as my wife was pregnant she redid it in dec 2011 and we transfered the greem sheet to Damascus.
I hope we will have good news very soon.
Good luck to everyone

 

[tati00]

what should i do if they ask me to redo my medicals and i'm pregnant !! any one got an idea ??

 

[htraboul]

You can not redo it if you are pregnant you have to wait until you give birth before redoing it

 

[Kurdistan-kazhal]

hello there, i gotta question,, does anyone know why they will ask for passport after the interview? is it normal for them to tell the person in question to expect a reply back within 2 month? does it usually take this long??? please someone let me know if u have been or know someone thats been in this situation.....thunx

 

[bluesosa]

Does anyone have any updates on the situation in Beirut? I heard that the processing time right now is not even clear, and that it might take well over 2 years... is this true??

I still haven't gotten married but am planning to very shortly, and I'm trying to plan ahead a little bit.

Thanks
