Hi,

My wife's interview is scheduled for Aug 5th in Ankara, Turkey and I would like to go to interview with her.

I sent an email to Embassy two times to get the permission but never got a response although it has been

more than three weeks.

I was thinking about calling the embassy's US Citizen Services line but the embassy website says that

they will not answer any immigration related inquiries on the phone so I am out of an option here.

Any ideas about what I can do?

Thanks

I checked the Embassy Reviews for Ankara and people said that they were not allowed to get in the Embassy with their spouse

unless they have an email response with permission. In most cases USC was denied entry to the Embassy. I think I will try to

call USC Services line and see what happens.
