hey guys, just came back from the embassy in beirut and got the visa stamped ( they called amman cuz my file is there).
they were EXTREMELY polite and helpful, they even apologized for the long waiting ( the 3 years and a half, not the queue at the embassy!)
just to make u feel better i met a couple there, they applied in july 2006, and were at the embassy cause they asked they "only" to send some updated doc.
voila.. next week to montreal, wish you ALL visas by Christmas.. feel free to msg me whenever u like.
it was great sharing our experiences together.... hopefully we meet at the citizenship ceremony in 3 years !
