so far so good, up to sending pkg 1 -- On May 4/2010 I went to UPS store (in CA). Later I learned the new employee (idiot-sorry to say that) mailed the package regular mail on May/6. I sent an email to Ankara on 5/17/10 to see if they got it. Today, 5/26/10, Ankara emailed me that they got it on 5/24. waiting for interview date now -- On June 4 received email from Ankara with list of what documents to take and interview date; 30-Nov-2010 8:30am, OUCH. That was 6 months away, 10 months from date of I-129. Sent email requesting sooner interview. On June 6 Ankara replied none available. Used the interim time and took a trip to India with my fiance in late August. It was great. Thanks to Ankara for a late interview date! |

Arrived in Ankara from USA Wed 4pm Nov-24, fiance arrived from Iran 9pm same date. Waited for her at the airport, 70 TL to hotel Bestwestern2000. Went to Doctor Next day 10:30 am. Waited 2hrs till all done, x-ray, blood, shots, $180. Got results same day 5 pm. Enjoyed Ankara till Nov-30. Nice weather. Paid $131 at Fortis, later learned of increased fee to $350. Arrived at Embassy, 5min walk from hotel, 8am. got in 8:30, security check, nice people. I went in with my fiance. Document checks, paid extra money inside, fingerprints. Interview in 1hr. few questions from my fiance about me. Then the Blue Slip with no specific requirement. Advised to check the online list in 7-10 days. Expected Visa on the spot, but such is life. Case was cleared in exactly 10 days. Now, waiting to go to Ankara for the VISA. Overall, nice experience. Nice and friendly people. Long Live America. |

*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.
