Ankara Interview

[Hannah711 11]

Has anyone recently been scheduled an interview or had an interview at the embassy in Ankara? We are still waiting to be DQ'd at NVC but I have heard mixed information regarding Ankara having interviews. Thank you!

Due to health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, as of February 4, 2021, the U.S. Embassy in Ankara is only providing immigrant visa services to Turkish Citizens and Turkish residents. For Third Country Nationals (“TCNs”) who have Turkish resident permits, please email AnkaraIV@state.gov with the front and back of your Turkish resident permit so we can discuss the next steps. Unless there is a genuine humanitarian or medical emergency, the U.S. Embassy in Ankara is unable to provide visa services to TCNs who do not have Turkish resident permits. Please note that appointments are limited due to reduced staffing and health and safety precautions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
