Hello! I have a Turkish friend who wants to visit me during his 3 week vacation this year. He has worked for the Turkish government for 15 years and regularly travels internationally.  However,  this would be his first visit to the U.S. 

 

He was told tourist visas are hard to get right now, and have a long wait time for an appointment and processing time. 

 

He was hoping to come in November.

 

Does anyone have any actual information on this?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Yvette and Zeki

Looks like Istanbul is the only option in Turkey and the wait times are over a year.

He can try a different consulate such as Athens if it works for him.

 

Good Luck!
