AP IN TURKEY for K1

[sarah86 8]

So, we had our interview today, and he was told to wait to hear from them and put in AP (idare islem).

What could be the reasons for being selected for AP? whats the % of turkish male applicants that get put in AP? I was told by one user that most middle eastern countries tend to do AP but never thought we would have to deal with it

And how long does it normally take?

Any input is appreciated.

Also, he was handed a reddish paper stating he was in AP. does colors make a difference? Cause ive read in the earlier years people have been handed blue slips and stuff.

My husband was in AP last year. IT took it about 4 months but the American consulate page in Ankara says it can be up to 6 months. Some take less but it is the first time I heard a K1 in turkish ended up in AP. Usually are the CR1.

If you look up the numbers on the interview schedule you will see every K1 / Cr1 / R1 for this week got AP.

im sorry to say but this actually makes me feel better :-/

How would I look up the interview schedule? There are so many sites to follow I cant keep up?

Also there is a website where you can check if your AP is done, I think I have it but if anyone else here has it too can you post it here. I want to make sure I have the right one cause I couldnt get to it from the address on the slip but came to it by going from site to site.

Thank you all for your responses.

I used the schedule here http://www.usemb-ankara.org.tr/consular/english/schedule_iv.html and looked up the numbers here https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw==

I copied the schedule into excel and sorted it by visa types. I have been trying to understand the % of people that get AP.

Here is the AP list for Turkey http://www.usemb-ankara.org.tr/consular/english/immigrant_admin_processing.html

Thats a lot of people for AP!

If you take out all the ones that don't start with an ANK or other embassy .. there are 107. And a lot of the visa have been issued already. Even the ones from July. But also look at some of the dates on these AP's. They start in 2004. These cases have had problems for a while. Since the case number is assigned at the NVC, If you take out everything before 2012, you have 52 people in AP on this schedule. Of that 52 only 25 are still waiting for a visa.(before this week because the 14 sent to AP this week don't show on there yet) Also we can't see the type of visa on this schedule. So they my not be all K1 or Cr1/IR1's.

AP just scares me. When I looked that the AP schedule I about had a panic attach. So I started looking deeper into it till I had a number I could deal with. 39 is a lot better than 100+

I know.. IM STILL having a panic attack. Turkey loves to put people in AP, a lot of people didnt even have a reason too :/

Do they even ever have a reason?

[sarah86 8]

no they dont, they sure didnt have with us, no age difference, hes never gotten into serious trouble with the law, we've never been married, hes done his military duty as a ranger on the freaking hell holes of the terrorist, the mountains, trying to protect his country and disregarding his life might I add, the families know about us, we had enough proof of everything, yet they still put us on AP/AR :(t this sucks big time here I was planning the trips we'll take to six flags and the beach and NY and even to the coffee shop and restaurants that I want to go but havent yet cause I want to go with him, and they just shoved everything down our throats INsallah Im praying that soon they will approve his visa and I can have my love by me very very soon

[Ismail+Cassie 36]

Aww Im really soo sorry ( Im getting scared too. Why do you they like to put people in AP so much. Its not fair. I hope you get out of it soon!
