Hi VJers,

I've been doing some reading and it appears that, according to the K1/K2 instructions posted on Ankara's website:

http://photos.state.gov/libraries/turkey/5/instruction_packages/K1K2%20VISA%20INSTRUCTIONS%20-%20FEB%202016.pdf

Nothing needs to be mailed by post to the embassy. Everything is to be brought at the time of the interview. Am I reading this right?

It's hard to say, a cursory glance of the Iran/Turkey filer's that would use Ankara have very very sporadic timelines, some filled in Packet 3 and Packet 4, most did not.

In regards to Packet 4, you do not mail Packet 4 to the Embassy, it is carried with you to the interview. Those instructions are for Packet 4.

What is unclear is whether or not Ankara sends out a Packet 3 that must be returned prior to the interview.

coneyisland, what's the update on your visa? Ours left NVC just a few days ago and is still on its way to Ankara. Did the embassy contact you after they received it? Did you wait for them to contact you to schedule your interview or were you able to do it online? And have you mailed any documents to them or are you bringing everything to the interview? Sorry for all the questions - I'm flying out of Turkey next month and I'm trying to double check all the steps my fiance will need to follow in my absence :)
