Brother you are so right.. i am with you on every single point.. i applied in feb 2009 n we were not able to do anything futuristic in last 3 years.. no planning at all.. living in a joint family system, moved from my old residence in august 2009 (though never wanted to leave my place), thinking probably our case will be finalized within an year, why not live with other family members in the meantime. though the new place was too far from our job etc.. nothing happened in last 2 years, when we finally thought of getting back to our old residence, my MR came..
then again there was silence for 4 months! frustrated.. we almost moved back, n very next day we got our PPR-1 :/ (Thnks to God)
all the expenses, hard times we faced, for nothing..
So my brother.. i can understand what you feel.. even i got angry too, by reading their standard set of instructions which came with PPR-1; "Not to sale any property n stuff unless you got the visa etc.."
I hope, now our cases will go through smoothly.. you have done your Medicals too, I hope you may get the happiness of PPR-1 soon, inshahAllah..
