Consulate Review: Ankara, Turkey Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 16, 2008 Embassy Review : I was unable to be at the interview but Cetin described what occured for me. He waited until called to the window for the interview. The young lady conducting the interview conducted most of it in Turkish for him. She asked him lots of questions and seemed to mostly be interested in making sure his answers matched the information on our forms. She was very interested in the photos and asked him lots of questions about them. She also wanted to know about how we met, what we talked about and how we came to decide to get married. The young lady was very nice and professional. She did ask him a couple questions in English. It was all over in a matter of maybe 15 minutes or so. And he was then directed to the UPS counter to get his visa mailed to him. Very quick and painless since we had everything very organized and ready. A very good experience overall! Rating : Very Good

*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.
