my friend let me remind you, even when damascus was running normally, they never said COME PICK IT UP, when i applied there was no protests or anything like that and people still had to use the tehran embassy, some people didnt listen and went to syria, yes they are not going to turn you away but they much rather do everything by mail, they try to keep the pickups for local applicants but when i was in Damascus i saw so many Iranians there getting into fights with embassy staff , in ALL PPR emails it says use COURIER
No Sohrab, It's not true. most of my friends got this email at the medical time:
"Dear Sir:
Please note that your application has reached the medical examination stage. To prevent delays caused by normal mailing service, you have the opportunity to choose between:
a) Either to come in person to Damascus, Syria or to authorise someone on your behalf to pick up your medical instructions and forms or;
b) To arrange with your commercial courier company to pick them up on your behalf.
If you feel that this is difficult to do, please advise our office and provide us with a reliable mailing address, so we can send your medicals. If you do not respond to this email within ten days, your medical forms and instructions will be sent to you via regular post to the address we have on file.
