Hi Betty!!!

Long time we don't see you, miss seeing you on the forum.

So sorry to hear about Seyhan's surgery, hope he recovers soon

Hang in there, Mina. Every day that passes is one day closer to your reunion. We're all here for you!

I just wanted to stop by and say hello/merhaba to everyone here and hope that someone in our Turkish group will soon have some great news to share with us about their visa approval I have been on VJ the last few days reading about others getting their visas approved and hoping that someone in our group will have the same news, let hope soon

Anyway I wish everyone many blessings and a great day,

Mina

Thank you so much awaterlily,

Yes I have been trying not to think too much about our temporary separation, but it's not easy when I come home from work and my husband is not here

But I have been passing my time with my family and friends, taking walks and also coming to VJ alot, it does help a bit

Thank GOD for emails, web cam and phone cards, otherwise I would be going crazy with not hearing anything from my husband

Hope everyone else is doing well though, Blessings to all

Thanks a lot for that link. My phone bills have been killing me and this is easier to use than most phone cards I've used because you don't have to use a PIN number to dial. Calling to Antalya is more than 2.9 cents, but it's less than half what I've been paying previously and with Helio I get free international texting.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying the beginning of spring (atleast it's the beginning of spring here in Ohio...after a long and cold winter!)

I returned from Turkey this past week where I had an amazing time, only wish I could have stayed longer! Everyone said my Turkish is getting better - I really hope to be fluent...someday! I'll post some new pictures soon

I received a letter from NVC a few days ago stating that our file has been forwarded to Ankara - hooray! Onur has been working on preparing the documents he needs for packet 3. Does anyone know - is the affadavit of support sent in with Packet 3 or only brought to the interview?

Anyway, just wanted to drop in and say hello!

Gorusuruz!

You'll definitely want to send the notarized Affadavit of Support in with packet 3, Julia.

Ok, thank you.

Another question for everyone - I'm worried about being able to attend the interview with Onur. I've travelled to Turkey and back 3 times in the past year, and am starting graduate school this summer and not sure that financially I'll be able to make the trip (especially because ticket prices are sky-rocketing and we have to purchase a one-way ticket for Onur to come to the states when (if) he gets his visa).

What was everyone's experience with this - USC attending/not attending the interview? I would really like to attend, and hopefully I can find a way. Any thoughts?

[kennyandhandan 2]

I wish I could go to the interview too, but it's just not possible for me to miss more work and still come there afterwards to go to our wedding party and be with Handan for the long ride back to the US. Since you've been there so recently, evidence shouldn't be much of a problem for you I wouldn't think. I'm sure the interview will go well for your fiance whether you attend or not. Ticket prices are getting pretty high

I too would feel a lot better if I was able to attend our interview. My Husband just mailed out our packet 3 today. I hope it has everything. Is it the same as packet 3 for the K-1?? I have so many questions so many thoughts swirling around in my head.. I hope we get an interview soon. Hey that is another thing. Does the NVC or the consulate schedule the interviews?? Am I wasting my time hopeing for a May interview date??? I am a ball of nerves!!!!!

GOOD LUCK WITH THE INTERVIEW SOON JULIA!!!!

For the I-130, NVC sets up the date based on the list of available interview dates at Ankara. Keep checking the automated message at the NVC 800#.

GL!

Don't worry about not being there. There are plenty of spouses who didn't/don't attend - I am one, too.

Hooray! I just talked to Onur and he received Packet 3 today! We're almost done collecting and preparing all of the documents needed, so hopefully we'll be able to send it back in the next 2 weeks.
