Can anybody give information on their recent experience on making an appointment for K1 interview in Ankarra.

We finally heard from the embassy and I went on line today, filled out all the details, paid the fee and then got a message

" there are no available appointments at this time"

Called Virgina and very nice gentlemen reviewed the entry and said there are no availalbe appointments. I asked how the system worked, so many released a day, once a week, once a month?Response was "it is at the discretion of the consulate, call back as many times as you want to find out when one becomes avaialble"

Is this the normal procedure? Please , i look forward to your response.

my fiance is devasted. As every twist and turn its up and down. Now it looks like we are in the spin the wheel for the next avaialble apointment

Ankara is a very busy embassy. I know people who finished the NVC for a CR1 visa and waited 4 months just to get an interview date. I don't know the process for K1s but I'm sure you will get a date as soon as there is one. But the embassy will never give ou a real time frame. When I questioned the interview wait time in April .. The embassy to told me I could get a June or later date depending how many people were ahead of me.

Seems like I'm in a similar boat here -- although mine sailed a month or two later than yours...

Can I ask how you finally managed to schedule your interview appointment? Was it by phone or on their website -- and how often did you have to call/check?

Looks like a 3 month wait, right? And I haven't even haven't even managed to pay the fee yet.

Took me 2 weeks of repeat trying and I got it early in the morning USA time. They just updated on sept 25 and it seems it takes them 2 weeks to update. Even thought I made the appointment on August 14 the interview is November 7. 3 month wait. We did send them all the papers already.
