Yes it is.  What they told me in to fly to Germany. Get a ticket back the next day and get yourself a new tourist visa but you have to be out the country a full 24  hours. I didn't do it. Lol. I opted for permnant residents card.  The bad thing is they don't have a long standing residency visa. I think I could only go three years .. so every 3 years I had to renew it.  I think as long as you can prove you will move to America and your residency is being maintain .. and you have bills .. bank accounts..  your driver's license is maintain.. there was other things listed also. But it's alot of Hassel to prove it.  .. you've got a long journey ahead..  main thing is patience.. which I'm fully running out of. Lol.. 

I can believe that. I just needed an additional 30 days. So 120 in total. I guess the visa there would work for my 2nd trip. I didn't plan on actually living in Turkey. With all that is needed to marry, I didn't want to run out of time on 90 day visit.

It really isn't that hard to marry. Just go to embassy and tell them you want to marry in turkey.. if you've been divorced you will need the original copy of the divorce decree.. they'll give you a paper to give to the Turkish court so you can get married in Turkey. Have your partner ask Turkish immigration if there can be extension of the tourist visa.. Its worth trying..

I've been through doing the process in Turkey.. the counselor told me because I was holding a permit resident in Turkey that I needed to move back to America even though my residents was at my parents place. They wrote letters stating that.  I had to move back to the US TO FILE For HIM.  They gave such a hard time about me being a resident here and holding two places as my home.  They may not with you. It depends.  But most ppl I have talked to were told to go back to the US GIVE up your residency in Turkey. Also do you know applying for a k1 visa for him maybe faster .. ??
