I filed I-130 & I-129F petitions for my husband, and designated on each form that the American consular post will be Istanbul.
But I recently heard that Istanbul is no longer processing immigration visas, that immigrant visas are being handled only in Ankara. Does that mean non-immigrant visas are still processed in Istanbul?
If my husband comes on a K-3 non-immigrant visa, will he be going to Istanbul or Ankara?
I am a little confused.
Thanks,

Yeah....they do make it confusing when they say that the consulate in Istanbul only does "non-immigrant" visas......and then when you file a k-3, which is called just that , then you find out they don't process them there.
I have been to the consulate in Istanbul several times.......Meauxna is correct........the k-3 will only go to Ankara. Not Istanbul.
I am not sure about that error of yours, designating Istanbul as your "consular post" ...whether it would create a problem or not. But Meauxna a lot more informed about those types of issues than I am.....so I would have confidence that what was written regarding it, is a fact,..........and that you should be okay.
Good luck.
