Hi Admins,

Could you please add embassy info for Turkey? There are two embassies, one in Istanbul and one in Ankara. The one in Ankara is the only one doing immigrant, and K1/K3 based visas. I can provide you with more information as needed.

I second this request. :thumbs:

P.S.....The one in Istanbul is a "consulate". There is also a consulate in Adana. However, the embassy in Ankara is where all the immigrant visas go through, and that is the one that should definately be added to the VJ "Embassy and Consulate" information section. There are several members , who have SO's that will have appointments there, very soon. I know of one at the end of this month........my own wife in April......another most likely in May.....and others who will follow not too long after.

It would be helpful to have information on the embassy in Ankara, added to this website. For current members, and for future ones.

I also support this request. The Ankara Embassy has a plethora of excellent up to date information, AND forms and instruction in both Turkish and English. It is so helpful, and I believe many other than myself would benefit. We are probably up for an interview in June/July for the K-1

Thank you!

Hi guys,

I don't think it's a matter of supporting or not--Ewok is happy to add the Embassies as users add info. VJ data is totally user driven, so don't be shy to write a Guide for something you know how to do--your insider info an Ankara will be well-appreciated, I'm sure!

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Just doing my civic duty as a good little Turkish spouse to stand up for my wife's country. ;)

The way I look at it, if they can have an embassy listed for tiny, little, eensy weensy, itsy bitsy "Trinidad and Tobago"....The least they can do is have one for Turkey, right? :thumbs:

P.S......thanks Capt. Ewok

I think you misunderstood.

Any Embassy or Consulate can/will be posted as soon as a VJ user asks for it. Ewok simply didn't list every single one.. he posted the ones he had feedback for at the time and now adds them by request.
