Hello everybody. I am the beneficiary and we got approved couple days ago, I was just wondering if there's anything that I should start preparing? Also what I wanted to know is that when Embassy receives the petition; will they call me or should I keep calling them. I don't wanna piss them off by calling everyday :D but I read on forums that some people just call the embassy and get an appointment and some say that beneficiary must wait for them to call.

And also when we were filing I129f there was this question asking where the beneficiary would apply for a visa abroad at the American embassy or consulate, and we said Istanbul but apparently the consulate in Istanbul doesn't do K visas, Ankara does them. oops :) Do you guys think this'll be a problem?

One last thing, did anyone from Turkey get an appointment recently? If so I would appreciate if you could just tell me when you are scheduled for.

Thanks a lot!

Just make sure you have all your evidence in order and organize it well. Create a file with everything in it and know where to locate your documents so that when asked, you don't have to search for them. The consulate will not call you when they receive the petition. You can call them to get any updates. If you have to call every day, so be it. Some people call multiple times a day and even learn the names of the people that work there. I wouldn't recommend that just because it's unnecessary. I don't know about you listing a consulate that doesn't do K visas, but I'm sure it won't be a problem. I think that question on the form is just old because a lot of people don't have a choice of where to go and yet it still asks that. They know based on your application where to send everything and I don't think it matters what you write there.
