My understanding is you need to be a legal resident of the country of which the embassy is located for you to be interviewed there

Well,we dont have US embassy in Iran .

Then I’d call NVC to see if the embassy can be changed due to Iranian embassy closures but since earmarked turkey, not sure they’ll change it... but you might get lucky

Some countries have limited or no U.S. visa services: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/countries-limited-visa-services.html

Yes i can change it.but im not sure will other embassies in Armenia and Dubai schedule an appointment quicker ?

You have to interview in the consulate that has jurisdiction for IRAN unless you have legal residency in another country.  Fortunately you have a few choices.  It is hard to tell which one will be quicker.   You will need to let the NVC know which one you want.

We also chose to have our CR1 spousal interview in Ankara. We got our DQ about a month ago. Where did you find this information about Turkey? How can Feb 2021 be right??

https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ir/ir_availability   But that is for appointments for IRANIANS.  Check the regional forum for Ankara quesses or consider Azerbaijan.

It isn't bad.  Ciudad Juarez is over 13 months.  If you qualify pick another consulate.

Did you get an email declaring you were DQed and also one from the embassy to register your appointment? I have looked on the website listed here but it looks like I cant enter it because I just received a DQ email and not yet anything from the embassy about registering on that site. 

 

My spouse isnt from Iran so we have the option of Azerbaijan as thats his citizenship. But I am just looking for more information from the embassy in Ankara as to when they think interviews might continue- as thats the easiest option for us at the moment. 

 

Thank you everyone for replies!
