hello ilovemyman I am sorry you are waiting for the AP to finish such a long time . hopefully you will get it done soon ... AP is not mostly for the muslims . it is for individuals

Ap is black hole and nothing you can do.
I am in ap from march 2014, next 24 will be 10 months.
Belive me nothing you can do, e-mails, letters or call are useless.
So be patient , i dont know if your are from a muslin country, i heve seen here that muslin country get long ap.
In my case i am not from a muslin country and even that i have a long ap.
Ap= black hole

hello Emily2020 sorry to hear that you had AP . I had AP during my CR1 it took them only 3 weeks to get it done . What I did ? I was calling the Embassy almost everyday. I suggest you call them try to reach someone to talk tell them that you want to know whats going on with your visa remind them their promise to complete the process

Hello all,

I've been uner AP since early December and the officer promised me to completer the process in less than one month since she saw I have a job offer in one of the prestigious companies. Now 6 weeks passed and I heared anything back. As I have a job offer in the US and the start date is coming soon, how can I make the consulate to speed up the process? Will it work to get a letter from company and pass to consulate? How much can I rely on officer's words and promise?

Hi I'm hoping some one here can help me I need to know ho to get a hold of my original divorce decree in Turkey it is from 2003 and the court I went to said I need to go to Menemen where it was issued to recieve it does anyone know if there is something else the USCIS will accept because I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to Menemen

Thanks

hi nolaist welcome visajourney...i am not knowledge about the divorce decree ... but i am sure they have something to give you to send uscis ...

good luck

melbar

POE WAS INSANE!!!! He landed at 5:05 and I was there. Waited for 4 and half hours and i was last person in airport. They were closing the shuttle from terminals and i called the immigration office and they said, Everyone is gone. No one is here. I started crying. I had no idea what to do! So i went down to the delta desk because they are linked to airfrance. And the lady says why are you crying. I told her My fiance was suppose to be on airfrance flight. he would have gone through immigration. She said we arent suppose to do this but we are going to see where he is. So she called big boss and he gotinto airfrance records. And said yes he got on flight. He must be here. I was like where?? NO one is in main room . She says relax go walk around. ANd we will call him. Well i had him paged 3 times before no luck. So I walked over to the starbucks because i told him if i miss you somehow go to the starbucks do not leave. We had been checking there all night. We get to the starbucks. I was crying. He was no where. I turned around, and i see him far away from me and he opens his arms. I started crying in relief he was here. I ran to him. He was in immigration when i called. and he had JUST got out. It was insane really!!!

Bahadir and I are really doing great! We have found a great groove at home! We laugh and smile all the time! We are getting married in 1 week~~~wooooooooohoooooooooooooooo

Baris,

I'm happy to see your post today! How was your flight back? I really like the direct flight from LAX - IST - Adana. It really makes a huge difference for me as I could sleep straight through from LAX on over.

And, if you get a chance still call Ky in Adana! He'd love to hear from you I'm sure as he asked about you and your father when I arrived. Now, he's got his tractor and loves it. Also, he's now planting on his tarla or did last week right after I left. If you don't have his number I will email it over to you. You remember how hot it was for you when you were there? Well when I went (the day you were flying out, I flew into Adana), it wasn't too bad. Ky insisted it was "cold weather" and anything cold like dondurma, ice or ice cay? He always says, "All Turkish love hot things... you eat cold things you get sick" LOL

AmeriTurks: Winter flights over are not so expensive -- I think it was United, but prices were $499 +taxes of course, RT ... for Dec. It seems that THY is the pricey one but I'm going to keep looking.

Anybody get a better price than this?

Mariye Yenge
