Ankara. Confused!

[cvek 0]

hi everyone,

As i read different directions about the next step after Noa2 i get confused. Some people told me that i need to hear from the consulate (ankara embassy) and send them required docs before the actual interview. that sounds fine. I also heard that i need to wait for an interview date! so if i pick an interview date online then how am i supposed to wait a date from the consulate? as i know im supposed to send required docs, pick an interview date online and wait for the interview.

Is there anyone who went through the process including ankara embassy? i would appreciate any sharing. thanks

My fiance just had his interview a month-ish ago in Ankara. As soon as you get your ANK # from NVC, you can go online and schedule an appointment and pick your PTT location. You have to pay your $240 fee online in order to make an appointment. Shortly thereafter, you'll get an email with instructions from the embassy. Actually, I think it was less than 24 hours. There are some documents you send to them prior to the interview, but others you need to bring with you the day of the interview.

I think the email from the embassy was in response to receiving the package from NVC. I scheduled an appointment as soon as we got the ANK #, but like I said, it all happened within just a few days of each other. Don't get caught up in which comes first. Ankara was very responsive to emails and I usually got an answer in less than 24 hours to the 2 queries I sent them.

Their email walks you through all the needed forms, how to set up a medical exam, etc. Everything went very smoothly. Read my embassy review I wrote.

Hello

The petitioner will receive an email from Ankara once they receive the file from NVC.

Once Ankara receives the file, you can make an appointment online. If you make an appointment prior to Ankara receiving the file, your appointment will be canceled.

The Consulate's website has an FAQ section as well as a PDF file with instructions for the K1 visa.

Our interview is tomorrow.

Good luck on your journey

ah thanks. We were planning to make an appointment before we hear from embassy so this info is helpful. NVC told us that our case had been mailed to the consulate on 14th Feb. It has been ten days and our case status is still IN TRANSIT. we r hoping to hear from embasssy over email soon. thanks

sorry. confused one more time! so should we make an appointment before Ankara embassy get our case or should we wait till they get our case??

I set up our interview as soon as I got the case # -- no need to wait for the email. I believe the email from the embassy came maybe a day or two after setting the appointment at the embassy. You can only make medical appointments one month in advance, so you need to see when you embassy appointment is before scheduling the medical exam.

The consulate states that they will cancel your appointment if you make it before they have the file from NVC so you should wait until you have an email from the consulate. We paid the visa fee in January and received an interview in February.
