Timeframe for interview in Ankara

[carol and jacob 0]

We received our NOA2 on 9/2 but our papers did not leave the NVC (35 days in AP) until 10/9. Are interview appointments given based on 129f filing date, the date the papers arrive in Ankara, or from the date Packet 3 is returned?

According to the timeline, it takes 93-110 days from when the embassy receives the paperwork from NVC to have the interview. I have noticed that that is not always the case. Does anyone know what factors into the interview date?

Thanks, Carol

From what I understand, Ankara will send you an appointment date once you have returned packet #3. Most of the people in the "Just Turkish" thread ( under regional discussions - Europe and Eurasia) have said their interview date was 3 to 4 months from the day they sent packet # 3 and then received their appointment date.

I am not too sure but I think they consider the expiration date written on the NOA2 when they schedule an interview date...

I just discovered a new date, its called a 'priority date' which is the date that the Service Center received 129F. I have to look into this more but you may be right about 3-4 months but it is not always the case. I have seen appointments in Ankara scheduled for 4-6 weeks after Package 3 is back at the embassy.

Good luck in your wait.....its not easy but looking back the time has gone by quickly....looking ahead is always hard.

Thanks for the info about Just Turkish; I didn't know it existed. It looks like a great place to share in the journey. See you there.
