documentarily qualified - how long to wait for the appointment?

[uluslarci 2]

Hello all,

 

After asking two questions here today and yesterday regarding not hearing from NVC, we've finally gotten the notification a little while ago from NVC saying that we are documentarily qualified. Now we are supposed to wait without doing anything apart from preparing our package, aren't we?

 

My interview will be in Ankara, Turkey. Our service center is Texas. I know it depends on many other things, but could you provide me some rough guess about the interview date? Is there any chance to have the passport with the visa issued in hand by mid-September?

 

Thank you.

Do your homework.  Check the timelines for Ankara, here on VJ.

I looked at it already, but it does not show the timeline between getting a notification of "documentarily qualified" and "interview date". It only shows the time between getting NOA2 and the interview date. So I could not have a rough guess. Or am I missing something?

Country specific information would be in the Turkey portal

Yes, but there is information about the consulate that is last updated in 2017. And when I look at people's timeline separately, it only shows the date of NOA2 and the interview. Since I don't know how long they spent to submit their documents, how many RFEs they got etc, it is kind of not helpful.

 

However, the information back from 2017 says that it takes 2-3 months so mid-september looks like a long shot for me if it is still true.

Thanks for your help.

"ASK" in the Turkey portal.  Somebody will give you Turkey specific CURRENT answer.
