Hbehnameh you're right, I wish I had never ordered it. It wasn't too early, kind of informative too, but so many negative comments from officer :(
Kazhal you're 100% right. At least I know none of Iranian students go back after graduation.... and they're worried whther our loved ones do harm to their country :( But don't worry your notes won't be more than 3 weeks, maybe they process it faster as you already waited for it. I really hope your husband get PPR before GCMS.

I start thinking the embassy closure in Iran has affected the background/security check (the embassy closed in sept). Every week passes and we wait for another one. This is even worse than the time that files were in Damascus.

I don't think it's security check anymore. Look at these stats from a lawyer's office:
http://www.parscanada.com/contents.aspx?pID=1758

You might need to create an account to be able to see them but basically they report many pprs in October for Iranians from the Warsaw office and not a single one from Ankara. If the problem is security check, it should affect all Iranians no matter where their application is. I can't help but thinking maybe it was true that different visa offices have different quotas for issuing pprs and maybe the Ankara's quota for 2012 has been reached and they only issue ppr under special circumstances (e.g., the applicant's medical being close to expiration and etc.). Hope it's not true, otherwise things would be like this at least until mid December.

Yes, that is true. I was thinking about the same thing (Ankara's quota for 2012). The transfer happened at the end of Jan. But how about this year Damascus quota (if they set it at all)?
This system is LAME if it is the case (anyway it is lame even if not ;) )

It's just a hypothesis and is as valid as others ... only time will tell us what the heck was the reason for this long interruption in issuing pprs at the Ankara office. It's like that Gary Moore's song which says: "Your life is like a wishing well, Where it goes only time will tell" ... of course in our case "Where it goes, only [CIC] will tell" ;D ;D
