we have same problem like you also in Ankara from Baghdad, I searched and contact i did everything but NOTHING, nothing helped us and my wife is getting crazy alone in Baghdad they did not even care when I tried to expedite, they said ( Not good reason sorry due to Covid blah blah blah) 
try to expedite hopefully you get something. good luck 😭

I really need help understanding something if anybody can weigh in and give advice . My husband is from Iraq and we are in the middle of a IR-1 (spouse)visa process. All we are waiting for is our interview . We have been married a little over 2 years . The embassy in Baghdad has been closed since January of this year due to terrorist attacks so our case was transferred to Ankara Turkey.  The embassy in Ankara Turkey has been closed for some months due to COVID-19 and they reopened in September and started doing limited visas services . In October they suspended services again in Turkey due to terrorist threats. I contacted the embassy about a week ago and now they are saying they are suspended again due to COVID-19 and can only schedule visa interviews for Turkish citizens and residents. My question is what do the people from Iraq that’s interview has been transferred to different embassies do when they have a genuine EMERGENCY? These embassies are not letting anyone that isn’t a citizen or resident of their country schedule an interview . People of Iraq can’t help that their embassy is closed and what are people doing if their is a dying emergency. Do we not have rights? Nobody will not give me any answers . I’m not sure what to do and who to reach out to for answers . There are a lot of people that have concerns and questions and there is nobody that will answer us.

In Turkey you need to have your medical exam done before the interview date. It is a place in Ankara you go and get it done. It does not take too long, they give appointments almost 3-4 weeks before the interview date. There is nothing to worry about just have all your documents ready and it’ll be fine.
