Ankara, Eb2, Interview

[Phdfatih 0]

Hello,

My immigrant petition, Form I-140, was submitted on July 14, 2022, and approved on November 9, 2022. I am pursuing my immigrant visa through consular processing. After submitting my documents to the National Visa Center (NVC), I received my interview letter on January 3, 2025, with an interview scheduled for February 27, 2025, at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara. However, I am unable to attend this interview because my J-1 two-year home residency requirement will not be fulfilled until August 1, 2025. Although I indicated this on my DS-260 form, the NVC still scheduled my interview for an earlier date. Currently, there are no available interview slots at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara. Given this situation, could the NVC contact the Ankara Embassy to schedule an interview for me no earlier than August 1, 2025? Alternatively, is it possible for the NVC to assist in transferring my case to another embassy with available interview dates? Why the NVC does not care information on DS documents?

It’s nothing to do with NVC once the case has been transferred to the consulate. It’s also not their role to read extra notes or schedule appointments at your convenience.
 

You have to reschedule the appointment yourself as per the consulate instructions - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/ANK-Ankara.html If there are no slots available right now, just keep checking back until they open up. 

 

Be prepared for a wait until October, as the visa quota may well have been reached by August. 
 

Please fill in your timeline to help other EB applicants too, thx. 
 

Good luck.
