Hi,amirnezam said:hi guys,
i am writing you from Ankara. our 14 months processing time was passed therefore i decided to come to Ankara and follow up on the file and hope that i would either get an answer for PR or get a temporary tourist visa for my wife like Fardizad did. i did show up at 8 o'clock at the immigiration section of the embassy and there were almost 30 people in line for their applications and after 2 hours of waiting they told me write your email address and we will contact you otherwise since you have a lawyer you just have to wait to hear from him!!! i did explain to them that the processing time has passed and they said: well you jusy have to wait more!!!!! the funny thing was that i was not able to see any candian employee and the reciption was the only place i could reach and they refused me any access to anyone else. basically the people i could talk to didn't have any authority over this issue and when i asked to talk to someone in charge or a advisor or counselor or officer they said you can't!!!
Sohrab maybe you can help me and tell me what should i do or Faridzad maybe you can tell me who you talked with ( or who did your wife talked with ) and what did she say. thanks guys this is the last bullet i had and it did hit the stone. i am at a point that i either get an aswer or i will go back to canada and ack my stuff and quit my job and school and go back to Iran.
i have the same problem. i am now in 15 months and 8 days and soon will pass 16 months and still now news. we( my husband and i ) have sent several emails/faxes and letters to both damescus and ankara embassy but no responce. we even contacted immigration office in Canada, where they just told us your file is in ankara and the processing time is just approximate time and you have to wait till they contact you.
we even don't know how they will contact us. as since they have transferred the files to ankara, they have omit my postal address in their website and they even didn't confirm whether they have the right address or not.
so far we have spent huge amount pf money to visit each other during past two years but still they offer to be patient.
i\d be thankful if any body could help.
thanks
