man man man...The people in Damascus doesn't work.....when they go to work, it takes them 2 hours to drink coffee, eat little muffin and read the newspaper. By then it will be break time. when they return from their break they talk to each other like "whats your plans for the weekend?" and "what kind of dog do you have" , "I had my beer in the sun" blah blah blah.
In a nutshell, people in Phillipe's actually work, thats why they finish things fast.
My wife's permanent residence status is "Application Received" and it's been the same for almost 3 months.
They cant understand that political views is critical in Lebanon. She already lost couple of her brothers in the previous war. Are they waiting until she dies or what?
The situation is critical everywhere in the middle east and this should be a reason why they should work faster.. I agree with the wasting of time thing. Honestly 9 months is too much for evaluating a file... What could possible be done during those 9 months that can't otherwise be done in let's say 6... I paid all the fees in the first place also with the first application and it doesn't seem to have affected my file in any positive way.. Why is it that it takes chinese people 4 months to get a passport to canada while it takes a lebanese, syrian , iranian iraqi or jordanian over 9 months... Honestlyyyy I think there is too much sightseeing going on in Syria and too little work done by those officers.
