A night's sleep has helped some- I think yesterday reading the Ankara website just floored me. I really thought we were over the biggest hurdle with the original packet.

About religion- no there's nothing there about that. That was my paranoia.

What it does require is an additional form for Iranians seeking entry to the USA through Turkey and Turkish men between 18 and 45. (This is how I drew the conclusion)

Thanks for listening,

Christine

DS-157 is not solely a requirement for Turkish or Iranian men or even just men from the middle east.... If you look at some other consulates around the world it is required there as well..

Christine,

If you need those forms you are having difficulty in locating , PM me.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Either this is a typo... or I set my clock REALLY WRONG for daylight savings time...

But I don't think "July 31, 2007" has occurred yet, so if that's the date on the form, it should be okay... :unsure:

I am completely overwhelmed. I just logged on to the Ankara Embassy, for K-1 info. We just received NOA1 at VSC, and I want to prepare so when he receives packet 3 we are ready.

In addition to:

1. Original Birth Certificates from each

2. Passport photos from each

3. I 134 from me with evidence (no problem here- that's a breeze)

He needs to get:

4. Court prison records

5. Police certificate

6. Passport copy

We need to get:

7. More evidence of relationship (e-mails, photos etc..)

8. 4 more passport photos of each

ALL OF THE ABOVE, NOT TOO TAXING- but

9. Form DS 230 Part I( Biographic Data)- I can't find this anywhere on the UScis site

10. Form DS - 156 (2 copies with original signatures)

11. DS-157 (male Turks between 16-45)

One of the big problems is that all of these are required to have certified translations (it costs a fortune) he paid nearly $100 for two letters for the I 129F.

UGGHHH- why is this so difficult? I know- TimsDaisy will tell me I'm stressing too much. The problem is that I am a perfectionist, and Omer is so 'lassaiz - faire' about everything!!! I filled in the G325A for him, but I am not allowed to on the above forms.

We will get through....

Just had to vent!

CAUTION: Check the embassy website of your beneficiary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are things there not in this forum!

Are you sure you need the DS230 with a K1 visa petition? I thought that was for immigrant Visas only.

Thanks for the heads up,t his is what I have been looking for to give my man the information. We did the forms together online, but he printed and signed and all. He really didnt want to write the intent to marry letter, but I said yes you must. When I got it, omg, it was so much better than mine, it made me cry. wow.
