Consulate Review: Ankara, Turkey Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 1, 2013 Embassy Review : My husband started out with an American interviewer who asked if he would like to do his interview in Turkish. When the Turkish women came she asked him lots of questions. She looked at all the proof and pictures then gave him an orange card and asked for a copy of my passport showing the Turkish visa and enter/exit stamps. Neither women took his fingerprints so he had to go back to do this 3 days later. Visa was issued 1 week after interview. 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
