Hi I got DQed on June 18 and still waiting for a interview date in Ankara embassy. I keep checking their website and Facebook but still no word of them being open and conducting interviews. Turkey has opened up their borders and still in phase one of opening so I don’t know when will the embassy be open. I sent email to embassy and got a generic message stating “Suspended all services except mission critical services and emergency appointment” I do not know what that includes but hoping they will open soon and continue interviews soon.

No one here in VJ has posted there is an interview/ if all keep up with their timelines,  the portal page for turkey will show upcoming interview appointments on the right

I've been a Turkish resident for 4-5 years. On November 2020, I renewed my residency but I have not received my new permit yet. Is it possible to still have my interview, or will this create an issue? (I have already gotten DQ on September 1st, 2020).

I'm in the same boat as you, I have submitted my residency renewal application and haven't heard back from them.  I went to my embassy interview (Jan 14) and haven't had any issue.

That's so good to read, and congrats on your successful interview! My DQ was on September 1, 2020, and I still haven't gotten my interview - I even sent inquiries to the embassy but never heard back from them. Did you get an expedite for your interview? I tried but was rejected unfortunately.

No, I haven't requested an expedited interview

I just have found out that the US embassy in Ankara started processing K1 visa (my application was sitting there since July 2020) so I scheduled an appointment (through a link on their website) and went to my interview, that simple

If you applied within Turkey your application is almost near to be reviewed 

because they're working on those who filed from Ankara embassy, so they already know you are a resident.

My case so do many others, is different because we filed from different countries ( my case was filed in Iraq) then transferred to Ankara because US embassy in Baghdad was closed. You guys have the highest priority so no worries. I know a friend who lives in Turkey was DQ'd on may 17th 2020 and just got his IR1 visa  interview schedule for next month Feb 2021

They are working on those who filed before you so just wait. wish you the best.
