In our confirmation email it noted that "Due to recent significant changes we will reply to your email in 25 working days"! These people are so good at updating their website and system and generic email responses, unlike Damascus! ::)
haha yeah atleast their system is up to date and working, im not really worried that they arent answering, i mean when they realize that my wife's medical is expired theyll come looking for her haha unless they got the notice from paris :p

our lawyer had sent an email to Damascus on January 13 and today we got an email from ANKARA!!!! This made me super super happy!!!!!! The email was very basic, just saying application is transferred to turkey and they will contact us when application reaches the next stage. But this made me so happy to confirm our application is there and they are obviously working:)
congratulation that sound very good we heard from Ankara , we heard from Beirut,I wish we hear something from Amman soooon :-\

dohrab jan.....please read this matter .. i found in the VO in Ankara

How long does it take to get the visa after submitting passports?

It usually takes 30 days for visa issuance after receiving the original passports and requested photographs for all family members.

Actually Farid jan, I remember reading in the Ankara thread (a very small thread with just 3 pages!) that people were able to pick up their visa the next day, like Damascus.
That 30 days is for when you sent your passport with DHL or something and it takes about 4 weeks for you to get it back, again exactly like Damascus.

I know it doesn't say DHL but people have been able to pick up their visas the day after submitting their passports.
Anyway we have to wait and see!

Sohrab, you are not alone, I don't know if mine was sent either! ::)

Got a question, my husband did his medical examination last year around this time so, I asked my lawyer if he needs to redo it, he said these documents are good for 1.5 year! Is that right?
or should I tell him to redo it?

Farid jan the thing is DHL or Aramex don't take the passports out of Iran, what they do is take it to Tehran's embassy and from there passports are sent abroad through the between-embassies posts and mailing system. Passports are sent back to Tehran embassy after visas are issued and DHL or Aramex will collect it and call you to pick it up from their office, so basically DHL or Aramex just send the passports to Tehran's embassy, because we can not drop the passports off in person in Tehran.
But I think it's not worth the wait at all, when I did that for my passport in 2010, it took 2 months for me to get it back, it's so much better to just go in person and get the visa, or send someone to do it and give them the authorization paper ... :)
