Consulate Review: Ankara, Turkey Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 22, 2010 Embassy Review : We got the the consulate early and waited in line. When we got the the gate they wouldn\\\'t allow me to go in with my wife. My wife told me that she gave the doctor\\\'s paperwork to the receptionist then she gave my wife a number. About an hour later my wifes number was called for biometrics (fingerprints). Another hour later her number was called again for the interview which was in Turkish. He looked through the paperwork and asked her 3 questions: My birthdate, how long we have been married, and if I was in the military. We couldn\\\'t provide two of the documentss that he asked for, so he gave us a light green paper with the things we need to provide. He said we have been approved but we need to send the required documents with the checklist and the passport and our visa would be provided in 5 buisness days. 5 days after the required documents were sent, the green paper said we should have received our visa. I called the embassy to find out the status of our visa only to be told to send an e-mail through the embassy web site. After a few weeks of not hearing anything about our visa we received a text message saying our visa will be delived the next day. (updated on July 13, 2010) Rating : Moderate

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
