Well I hear you, but I guess we just have no choice but to tough it out. When do you guys think it's appropriate to start calling the VISA office and seeing where things have progressed too? The Damascus embassy website says allow 6-8 weeks after additional medicals received before contacting us. Our supplemental meds are long past this in terms of being sent in, so should I start calling them up? I don't want to call and jeopardize anything either.

hey if you can call them and get some response from them go for it! in our case they don't respond to any phone calls. only emails... and even then they hardly respond!! they can't slow things down as per the rules set out by CIC. so i'd say why not give it a shot :) let me know how it goes!!

So here is what I was told..."Please allow the mean processing time of applications in Damascus pass on your file before you contact us for information"...in other words they cannot give me details until my application surpasses the average processing completion time of 10 months that is posted on CIC website for Damascus! Even though they themselves in a letter stated 6-8 weeks after medicals are received information will be available!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR pure frustration right now!
