It seems to me that there have been some rather lengthy delays with the Ankara Consulate in terms of being able to schedule the CR-1 interviews. Is any one else experiencing the same. Does anyone know on average the timeline from when all paperwork is received at NVC until interview date at the consulate is determined? I am growing increasingly concerned, not only because I know that Ankara is responsible for interviewing for not only Turkey, but also with some of the recent upset in the Middle East and more importantly the events that took place in Turkey recently, if this too will delay scheduling and processing times. Just wanted to know if anyone had any insight they wanted to share and see if others were experiencing the same. Any insight anyone can share would be much appreciated.!

Take care all!

**Moved from K1 to Europe forum. Question is not related to a K1 process and can be better addressed by other folks from Turkey.
