I would say that the syrian/iraq applications are being processed faster due to th3 fact that 2 peoe in the October applications that were sent after mine have already been approved for SA in record time. Meanwhile my family has to wait for reunification with spouse/father despite a 2i hear marriage, a clean FBI check and the fact we have sold our usa assets and have purchased a house bere innmy name and I have started a business and work as an IC so no worries about income there plus in a few years i will probably be creating new jobs.........kinda sucks IMO
