It took less than 20 minutes to get through security, do the biometrics, and take our bags. All the officers were really nice, clear and helpful with their directions, which was great for Oguz considering he was a little bit nervous. The only annoying thing was the women and men who stand around and 'direct traffic' ("US citizens to the right, visitors to the left!"). We were in the right line, rudely told to go into another line, and rudely told to go back to where we came from. This only took about 5 minutes and the rest about 15. We came in on the direct Delta flight from Istanbul that lands everyday at 4:55pm. |

| Embassy Review : |
These guys worked so quickly with us! They received our documents on the 25th of July and we heard back from them on the 11th of August with an appointment date scheduled for the 20th of August!!!! I don't know if it was because we had everything in perfect order or what, but it was quick.
When we got to the embassy things went smoothly. The woman at the window was very effective and did her job well. She wasn't rude, just a little scary at times (officers are giving visas, NOT KISSES!).
My only complaint would be that there was not enough seating and waiting outside of the gate was quite disorganized, otherwise things went well. As long as you can prove your relationship and you have all your ducks in a row you'll do just fine!  |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
