Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

guys i think we all know from experience that nothing can be confirmed, honestly unless i get a piece of paper from the embassy saying u have to wait 10 more months i wont believe anything, but anyways as far as the latest "NEWS" its impossible, neither the embassies nor visa officers have any kind of timeline, they cant , because applications keep coming in, its not like since damascus closed they stopped accepting other files, it takes an average of 4 months to figure out an ESTIMATE, from what i was able to figure out ankara,beirut or amman dont have an estimate for files now, the only thing they told us is that the approx 3 months is added to the previous time for new applicants, for example ankara is 8 for new files, and for files transferred from damascus...well as i said no one knows yet, impossible to tell, but they are handing out visas left and right,i am aware of 3 people who got visas from ankara this month, they were all waiting more than 10 months, im optimistic... you guys all made excellent points, i can say this for sure, if a visa office is going to stop handing out ppr's for a while and start again they arent going to give out 2 or 3 and then wait a couple months and then hand more out, its impossible, and since we have seen ppr's we know it cannot be true that they arent working or etc, beirut is much slower then amman and amman is slower then ankara, pretty much thats the way things are right now but that doesnt mean much either, lets not freak ourselves out,

honestly neither me or any mp or any lawyer or any minister can make you feel PEACE and CALM inside, the only thing that will bring those feelings is news from embassies about new ppr's , i think thats what we all are looking forward to

Thank you for the info Sohrab,
I think the state of not knowing how long it's going to take is hard on many people and unfortunately the embassies don't have a clear answer as to how long the process might take. But you made really good points and I agree with you. Freaking out wouldn't help us in anyway at this point.

my dear friends i know i was silent but i do read almost every day and i feel for u that still no news...anyway i just want to share with u that i'm officially part of the group today we got the sponsorship approval after we waited 83 days (faster then the current timeline which is 88)...in a way be happy cuz last year when most of u applied it took maybe 30 days....these months not knowing even if our file is there were a killer....i guess good practice for stage 2...
also they forwarded the file to Amman - thanks God not to Abu-Dhabi which still has 25 months of wait....hope we took the right decision cuz now Abu-Dhabi looks faster with some applications but u never know on which side of the coin u end up...i hope the processing times mentioned before r rumors and honestly i don't believe they will show any processing time yet for Amman or Beirut cuz these r calculated considering the number of visas issued vs the number or applications for the past 12 months and they didn't work for 12 months yet....anyway, until u see something officially written don't believe anything
best of luck for all....send u some positive vide, i have plenty now :-*

Congradulation Missmini I am so happy for you. Hopefully the rest of process would be quick and painless for all of us. ;D ;D ;D

Helo everyone!

eventually after a long time (~13month ), today I received an email from Ankara VO stating I would send my passport for Visa issuance! I am so glad!
but am so sad about my friends who had waited for longer time and still received no news!
I wish farizad,Parastu and all other friends who have waited for more than 13 months , receive their PPr as soon as possible!
