Does anyone who has gone thru Anakara know how long it generally takes from the time they receive your "Packet 3" documents till the time they give you an appointment? Do security clearances have to be completed BEFORE the interview date is set or do they schedule the interview in a way to allow the check to be done in the intervening time?

Thanks for any info.

Hi all,

My fiancee FINALLY has her interview in Ankara on Monday. Any idea how long it usually takes???

They say that they COULD request further background checks, but I've heard that is rare for females (my fiancee is only 23 as well).

Please share your experience.

THANKS (F)(F)(F)(F)

Hey darstar :) For our interview he said it took about 20 mins and that was it. I wouldn't worry about the background check, most female k1 have them by he time of the interview ...i know its hard not to worry, I am sure she will do fantastic and be with you in no time!!!

Hi Joye,

Thank you for the words of encouragement. The closer the interview gets the more I'm becoming a nervous wreck :blink: . I'll feel sooooooooooooooooo much better if she gets the response we're all hoping for.

Cheers :)
