I am out even longer than u. I have been living abroad for almost 20 years now...my hubbie had family obligations here overseas but now we are done.  I can go home! 

Well at first it was just easier for me to go to Canada since I’m a dual citizen but then we had two kids and time kept going by. Then we moved to Europe and now I’m done. I’m ready to go home 😓

Hi VJ Friends, 
We have completed our case by this morning after our approval interview. ☺️
I just want to say something to you, PLEASE don't trust any advice from lawyer as you always can call and ask USCIS for any question. I  was told by lawyer that since I am living with my husband outside of the US I can't be a petitioner OR at least 6 months before applicant's interview i have to move to US which is impossible for that period of time, so I called and asked USCIS and today I still live with my husband and he got approval so everything is POSSIBLE 🙆 good luck to all of you.

USCIS take about 6 or 7 months for NOA2 and after that another 2 months for NVC  so you still have plenty of time. you can change ur passport by Nov or Dec.

That's the link I found as well!

You should always follow the Department of State official advice for civil & police etc documents from other countries. Scroll down to the correct category on the left
 
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Turkey.html
 
Please note that if you are currently living outside of Turkey and would like to request a police certificate, you should not contact the Turkish National Police directly.  Rather you should contact the nearest Turkish Consulate in the country where you reside to request the information.  Please be sure to sign your request and include a copy of a valid identity card with your request. You may request a response in English. 

Hmmm I haven't heard of that department. I'm hoping it will just take a few weeks before I hear something (either checklist or case complete). My husband is in his home country...I'm in the U.S., but go back & forth often. We have an apartment together in his country.

make me sick, their system is down, the weather is bad received, not receiving for USCIS cases on time:(((((((((((((

You get you Dept. of State case number from NVC.  CSB is Casablanca, MNL, Manila, GUZ, Guangzhou etc.  The first three letters indicate the Consulate and the numbers follow.

I am in US and my wife in India. She is ready for interview. i preparing her. Police clearance was done in OCT and already submitted in NVC. She did not do the medical yet. Just waiting for the interview to be schedule. I will find out this week or next week lastest. No problem with your question. We here to help each other.  

If you google 'images of visas' of other countries, you will see it is the same

A visa is essentially a document used to apply for admission to the US with a given status. There's never a guarantee to be admitted until you are a USC.
 
That said, being denied entry with an immigrant visa is incredibly rare.
But if you want to know what happens, it's the same as any other denial - you are held until flight arrangements back home are completed.
