Hello, I was wondering if there was anyone else from Iran here, that will be going to the Ankara Turkey embassy. I understand that they will not mail your Visa to you and you must stay there. Are there any nice hotels in which to stay? Is it only a couple days, or several? What is the interview like, are they nice?

Thanks Much!!

I know for the K-1 visa, a police cert is NOT needed from Iran, I'm surprised you needed one.

Yes, I am just starting the long road :). I am going to meet her in Armenia in May. I am very excited about

that. I wanted to go meet her family but due to politics we decided to meet in Yerevan. So It looks as if I am

the newest in line lol. It seems from reading different posts that Iranian women get approved faster than the

men. Anyway I am sure I will be around in the days to come. Good luck to all.

Hiya Darstar and Steven!! I am going for the CR1-IR-1. They don't require the police clearance from Iran. It actually says they are not obtainable.. but my husband went and got one anyway. I am just hoping that it will (fingers crossed) speed things up a bit!

:whistle: One of these days the wait will be over for all of us!!
