I hope you got the answer you were looking for. We will probably do a Manduma in November or December.

Niceee. Looks like the case is moving forward. Hopefully you will get your visa ASAP.

Do we have any other options? The country we reside in will most likely kick us out and I certainly don't want to overstay and get banned. Perhaps I can write the embassy and explain our situation and they might expedite our case?

We don't have a problem coming back to Turkey if a second interview is required. We just don't want to go another AP because she traveled to another country.

My wife visa was put in AP as of May 2023. We both currently reside in Turkey but our residence permit will expire in October. As of now, it might be that they will not extend our residence visa and we will have to move to another country while we wait for AP process to complete. MY question is that, can we travel while she is in AP. Would this cause another delay for her if we go to another country. Thanks

I don't want to be a debbie downer but seems like the AP process for Iranians is taking so long. My wife found a telegram channel with all Iranians who are going through AP and many have been stuck for many years now. Some have even done the Mandumas and have not even gotten a response. This is so maddening for many of us. I am thinking of really focusing my efforts and moving to another country if we don't get a response this year.

@InveighAny update on your case?

Good luck to you man. I understand fully why you applied and hope you get the answer you are looking for asap. Don't listen to people who tell you that you should have waited. They had 2 years to do all this research and now you are in this blackhole where you don't know when you will get an answer.

Guys we got DS-5535 green slip on Tuesday May 16th. We sent it on May 17th to the email address that was given to us. Our case has not updated and when I check the status on the website it says they have requested us to fill DS 5535 still. I have emailed them a second time and got no response again. What should I do?

I have run into a bit of an issue with our medical examination and need some assistance on what to do next. My wife got her interview appointment set for May 16th at the US Consulate in Turkey, Ankara. We came to Ankara on the 10th early as the Medical Examination Office had suggested that it can take up to 2 days to get the tests done but mostly all tests would be done on the same day. My wife took her exam on the 10th and she was told that she would receive the status of her medical examination on the same day by 7 PM . Around 6 PM we called them and inquired about the medical exam. They ensured us that everything is correct but we would receive the answer the following day. Today we did not receive any answers again. We went and visited their office and they said they had the wrong phone number listed for us but everything is correct and they have already sent the medical examination records to the US Consulate. We were told that now that the phone number has been updated we will get the medical exam results by tonight Of course today we still did not get an email and we called them again. Now they claim that they have been having some computer issues and this is why they can not send our medical exam. They have ensured us that the exam results are good and have been sent to the US consulate however when we ask them for proof they refuse to give us any proof. They just say wait till the computer issue is resolved so we can finally get my wifes results. I am furious right now as our interview is coming up shortly and we have no proof that the medical exam was completed. Iam out of 500 dollars and this is the only doctor office that can do the medical examination in Turkey. I am just wondering what I should do, if my wife goes to the interview and the consulate tells us that there is no medical examination done , what are our options?

Good afternoon, We recently got an invitation to be interviewed. However today I realized that I have lost the original I-864 I filled. I still have the scaned version somehow but I do not have the paperwork. Is there anything that can be done about this? Regards,

Sorry I should have been more clear. I meant selected rather than Picked. I am still at the initial screen where you select one of those options. Now I need to find my DS-160 number.

I Ifilled an I-130 and it is an IR-1 Visa. So I think I just have to do the DS-260. Where can I find this number?

We finally got an email that my wife will get interviewed on May 16th. The first step of the instruction is to register at usavisa-info.com. Upon registering you are tasked with picking from a few options, one of which is "I need to register an immigrant visa appointment" and "I have received a letter/email from the consular section with instructions to register or schedule a K (Fiancé(e)/Spouse/Child) visa appointment.". I obviously picked the latter but at the end of the page it is asking me to enter in DS-160 number which does not make sense to me as our application should be a DS-260. So now I am questioning on if I should pick option 1 or 2. Additionally where can I find this number? Thanks

Is there a way I can figure out how long it will take for them to email us for the interview?

Me and my wife got our document qualified in March 3 2022. We were supposed to get an interview in Ankara turkey but have not heard anything from them. However when I go to ceac.state.gov it says our application is still at NVC. Is this normal? Should our application not be with the Ankara consulate? Th
