My fiance just finished his interview at the Ankara Embassy this morning. We walked up there at 7:30 am for his 8:15 interview. It's not necessary to go so early as they make everyone wait across the street until their interview time is called. Those with 8:15 interviews were called to line up just after 8:00. U.S. citizens are not allowed to enter to attend the interview with their fiance, and you cannot bring your phone inside the Embassy. He entered through the outside security around 8:25. Once inside, they gave him a number, asked if he wanted to do the interview in Turkish or English (he chose English), took his medical file, and told him to wait. After about one hour, they called his number and he went up to the window. He said they were really nice and they asked him: how we met, about our brothers and sisters, have we met each other's parents, and what are our wedding plans. They did not ask to see any additional evidence or photos. I was waiting at the hotel and he returned by 10:15 to give me the good news that he was approved. We got a piece of paper saying "Congratulations, your visa is approved!" with instructions for picking up his passport and visa packet in 5-7 business days. Overall, a very good experience.
