YEAH!!! Interview date after 1 year.

I must be a special case or something, but once the documents left my hands (in April 2009) everything got messed up. My fiancee talked with a friend that was going to help her file everything and they must have decided to walk the papers to the consulate office and drop them off instead of using UPS like I told them. After waiting 3 months for my fiancee to decide something was wrong, I then had her mail everything (including originals) back to me, so I could finish the process and get them mailed in. Documents took 3 months to arrive, the package had been opened, and half of it was missing. New originals had to be created along with new translations. However finally in December I had regathered all the information, had my fiancee send me the documents that were required, and I sent the documents directly to the consulate.

Oh well, I got to fly to Turkey over New Years. We have more pictures for the consulate.

Yes, there were a bunch of outside issues causing problems, however I'm happy that our interview is in Ankara. Everyone that I have talked to said that the interviews there are easy. Maybe 1 or 2 questions. I have visited 3 times and she has lots of pictures. I also have 3 reams of paper worth of MSN chats. My last visit was for New Years and we have bus tickets and hotel receipts along with pictures.

sounds like you are good to go! if you have enough proof of your relationship everything will be just fine.for the most people the interview takes only 5-10 minutes. :)
