Hi everyone,

I need to vent a little because my husband is an Iranian citizen and he is in Iran now. I'm very scared and I want us to be together again soon!

It has been 1 year now since we have sent in our I-130 and we still do not have an interview yet in Ankara!!

Im scared that with everything that is going on with Iran and the surrounding countries, that they will GOD-FORBID close the ankara embassy for iranians (like they did with the canada embassy earlier today), and GOD-FORBID if that happens, I cant be with my husband :(( GOD-FORBID!!

Please give some words of advice on what I should do. Thank you!

Yes, my husband is required to have an interview.

And I know that he is supposed to go to another country to have his interview.

Is there a possibility where I can request an expedite at the NVC?

You can definately call NVC, tell them your circumstance, and request an expidite.

If I could think of the slightest reason for needing an expedite, I would go for it. I don't have much advice, but I pray for the best for you and him.
