Sorry for the bad news but for those who still don't know, the whole embassy in Damascus will be closed by the end of this week and everything will be moved to Beirut. I believe this is going to make the processes longer.
do you have a link or something so i can read the whole story ?msharafaldeen said:Sorry for the bad news but for those who still don't know, the whole embassy in Damascus will be closed by the end of this week and everything will be moved to Beirut.

I have not read this anywhere. I called the embassy today and they told me they would be closed. They said they still don't know for sure where the alternative will be but it will most probably be in Beirut. That's why I think they will need some time to move the files and get settled down over there.Jet said:do you have a link or something so i can read the whole story ?
i see.. well at least there will be Canadians working on our files not arabs, we saw their processing abilities and competencies.. the numbers of processed applications speak for themselves.. 25 months on the waiting for those damn meds.. it is a disgrace! i personnally consider it as a good news.msharafaldeen said:I have not read this anywhere.

as Damascus is also responsible for Iranian files, I doubt if they transfer all the files to Beirut. maybe they will divide the files to 2 or 3, and send them to different visa offices.msharafaldeen said:I have not read this anywhere.

last time i heard they were conducting the interviews for CSQ applicants in TurkeyNina-HP said:as Damascus is also responsible for Iranian files, I doubt if they transfer all the files to Beirut. maybe they will divide the files to 2 or 3, and send them to different visa offices.
and a question:
where do interviews take place now, for applicants from Lebanon and Syria?
I don't think Iranians will have any problem coming to Lebanon.Jet said:last time i heard they were conducting the interviews for CSQ applicants in Turkey
although it is just guessing, I still think in the other way.msharafaldeen said:I don't think Iranians will have any problem coming to Lebanon.
As for the CSQ interviews, they are now being conducted in Istanbul for the middle east applicants but we don't know where the next mission will be interviewing. It could be in Lebanon since the whole center will be moved there.
there is no interview for the federal part in case he/she has the CSQ..Nina-HP said:although it is just guessing, I still think in the other way.
as a hint of my opinion: one of the Iranian applicants whose CSQ was issued on late 2009, is now invited for federal interview in Ankara.
if there is some question for federal officer, usually security issues, there will be an interview in federal section, even though one has the CSQ.Jet said:there is no interview for the federal part in case he/she has the CSQ..
let's hope so..yma981 said:I have heard that they are going to close the embassy in Damascus and transfer the application elsewhere probably Beirut, Do u have any information ???
