but dont lose hope dear, when they say 80 % its more than 80 %, farid has a rare case, he was in the military in iran so they did extensive check, kamal had similar issues, a normal person with a normal case with all documents ready to go WONT wait that long, its impossible, trust me dear, its good to be realistic but not to say ok 20 months is normal lol that's not realistic, MAYBE 1 out of 1000 files

Sohrab is right dear, don't lose hope. 20% of the cases only means that most cases which are the other 80% will be done in less than that time.
Also with all this transfer thing, you never know how Ankara will work, that 13 months was for Damascus, for Ankara we have to wait and see what happens ... Be positive :)

When you say he was in millitary that means he worked in millitary or are you talking about the 2 years mandatory servive( Sarbazi) In Iran. Because my husband's Sarbazi was in ..... I hope that is not bad. I always get mad at my husband for picking there to do his Sarbazi. I hope he is not inthe 20%

What happens is that couriers are not allowed to take passports out of Iran, so they take it to the embassy in Tehran, they use post services special for embassies and sent it to visa office in Ankara. Ankara sends it back to Tehran embassy, DHL picks it up from there and delivers it to you, this whole process takes about 4-6 weeks.

Also WXYZ jun, waiting for the passport to come back with visa is SOOOOO different than waiting for pass request! Don't think about that part yet, as Farid said pray for the ppr to come sooner o hala be un tikkash fekr nakon!! :)
Thanks so Much Vivi joon. Helped alot. I know the waiting time for the Visa is the excting part. I need time too to rent a place and move in before my husband comes. I am ok with that . I was just worried that the post is safe. I quess it is safe that they ask us to do it.

Hello everyone, salam doostaan,

I hope everyone is well. I have been following up and reading the posts. I really don't know what to say, I am just staying as hopeful as possible. The recent news on Iran and cases moving to Ankara has put some stress on my mind, I really hope that things go smoothly.

BTW Sohrab jan, my wife's medical was expired in Jan, what do you think I shall do? Should I just wait for their request, because I don't even know where to send the new one, or if they require another one.

Thanks

Ok Sohrab officially has gave me the right to jump in! :D

No do not wait for them to ask for the second medical, go ahead and do it and send a scanned copy of the green sheet to Ankara and save time. I even asked Ankara about this and they confirmed it is ok to do this. My hubby's medical expired a while ago too and this is just we did. :)

I love Canada too but terrrrrrrrrrrrrr ro khoob oomadi, they don't know how to handle our money and economy, they make really stupid decisions, and they say really stupid things "Iran is a threat to the world" whattttt? See, these things stress me out cause my wife is coming from there too and these guys love a war to start.
