THANK YOU BARIS!!! 9 days 4 hours!!! Any advice on the interview would be awesome! I am so happy to have been with you all for the last year! Hope everything is great for you!!

Hey Michele haha omg!! i cant believe almost just a week left for interview..

Ok i can give you some advice.

He needs to be front of the embassy at least 45 or 30 mins bec there is might be a long line.

Before he gets in to the embassy he should prepare his passport,medical result,pics,and evidence.

If he can speak english very well i would suggest him to speak english during interview time.

when officer asks him a question he have to look at the eye of person and answer the question simple but certain

He really does not need to be nervous (PS; even i m telling this i was a shuch nervous)

but after the interview i felt so light before the interview i was feeling like somebody sittin on my should who is thousand pounds

Good luck

Baris,

I'm happy to see your post today! How was your flight back? I really like the direct flight from LAX - IST - Adana. It really makes a huge difference for me as I could sleep straight through from LAX on over.

And, if you get a chance still call Ky in Adana! He'd love to hear from you I'm sure as he asked about you and your father when I arrived. Now, he's got his tractor and loves it. Also, he's now planting on his tarla or did last week right after I left. If you don't have his number I will email it over to you. You remember how hot it was for you when you were there? Well when I went (the day you were flying out, I flew into Adana), it wasn't too bad. Ky insisted it was "cold weather" and anything cold like dondurma, ice or ice cay? He always says, "All Turkish love hot things... you eat cold things you get sick" LOL

AmeriTurks: Winter flights over are not so expensive -- I think it was United, but prices were $499 +taxes of course, RT ... for Dec. It seems that THY is the pricey one but I'm going to keep looking.

Anybody get a better price than this?

Mariye Yenge

Heyyy Mari i agree with you about winter flights over its gonna be more cheap and the price you you talked about i dont think there is more cheapest than this and the point is THY

Who says turkish does not like cold i dooo tell Ky if its summer in adana lets see if he can drinks a water without ice or not cold

THANK YOU! I know right its so close! Ok so Bahadir says he wants to answer questions perfect..he is perfectionist:) He wants to answer questions in english that he can answer perfect and some in turkish if he cant think of right words in English....Will this be ok? He is so much a perfectionist that he says "If i dont answer in right tense...." Was the interviewer someone who speaks turkish and English? Yes he got a room at the hotel across from the embassy! He is ready to arrive early. What questions did they ask you?

No check?? Oh I didnt knowa paycheck was involved I have to get password again:)

Michele,

The officer in the embassy he is already asking to you before he starts to interview would you like to speak turkish or english they can speak both i think he will be fine if he cant answer in english then he can answer in turkish thats ok..

i think i was number in 3 who interviewed me he was a good and a nice man i was so freaking nervous when i was infront of the window but the office was keep calling me sir!! then that made me confortable anyways he asked would you like to speak english or turkish i said it does not matter then we continued speaking english..

Make sure you always looking at him and smile you know.then answer simple dont talk much as long as he did not ask anything do not give more information as long as he did not asked about

of course i brought bunch of evidence but thats for sure they cant check all of it even i said i have more pics he said oh oh thats all enough ( bec. we were already sent it when we were in NVC stage)

Here are questions what he asked me

when your wife visited you last time?

does she have a kid ?

how old is he or she ?

are your wife is working?

sometimes they are asking like where does this pic taken ?

then he said have a nice trip and gave me a white paper to pay for UPS

HEY AmeriTurks!

I never tried or experienced of asian side airport of istanbul.

Its kinda far away from center of istanbul.

sometimes tickets might be cheap to go there but i think you cant find much flight to go there

bec. most of companies flying to Ataturk airport
