Hi! It looks like we are on a very similar timeline! I notice you are using the consulate in Istanbul. That's where my fiancé lives. I would have rather he used that, but Ankara was the only option I saw so I must have missed Istanbul somehow :(

Hi Jessica - I've noticed that most (all?) people are doing their interviews in Ankara, so it's possible that we'll be assigned there. The I-129F allowed us to write-in whatever city we wanted - I wasn't aware there were a list of options. What did you look at that led you to believe that Ankara was the only option?
Hopefully, we will be assigned by NVC next week. I can check back in and let you know where we get assigned.

We got assigned to Frankfurt, since my fiance is studying in Germany, though we would have preferred a consulate in Turkey. So, it doesn't seem that it matters what you put on the form.

Ah, okay. Not sure where I got the idea that Ankara was the only option. We should both be scheduling for interviews around the same time! Good luck to you!

Thanks, Jessica - good luck to you, too :)

Hello! I see that you were able to schedule an interview date, congratulations! I was just wondering - when dates finally came available, were there many options to choose from? Did you choose the soonest available date or did you choose a date that was a little farther out to give you some time? We're just trying to get an idea of when we can expect an interview if we want to choose the soonest date. Thanks!

Thank you! No, there was only one option, though I think it's possible for there to be many options. We originally took the only one available (September 30), and we continue to check it every day in case new appointments open up. We luckily found one last week and switched to September 23. We're definitely trying to get the earliest date we possibly can.
Good luck! :)

hey guys...have you received your interview date yet? Our Biometric appoint was on 2020-02-03 (just 2 days before you guys) and we're still waiting for our interview date :/
Also, have you guys filed for EAD extension? We filed one 12 days ago and we're still waiting for our NOA.

Hey! Unfortunately, we didn't receive out interview date yet. I keep checking Visa Journey to see if there is anyone else who got the interview date :) We filed the EAD + AP renewal in mid March, sent the application to Chicago lockbox. There was no notifications for a month. Then just after 4 weeks, I got the notifications and NOA's, dated back to mid March.

Hi BiAdam, have you guys got the interview date? I am asking because we got ours already.

But our embassy is San Jose, not SF...so maybe processing times are not the same.

Yeah, it'll be on 28th!

congrats on the AOA approval!

Thanks a lot! :)
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
