Alperen was the fifth one to go inside. He was the very last person to leave so it doesn't matter how early you get there. An officer took his paperwork at the very beginning. He was told to sit and wait. He waited 5 hours for his turn. The interviewer was nice and smiling. He asked 7-8 questions. They are the exact same questions that are in the guides here. He asked "when did you meet, how did you meet, when did we decide to get married, when did he propose, what he likes about me, etc". One question was different he asked if it was hard for me to visit him when I was married. Alperen told I was already separated and living away from my ex at that time. The interview took about 5 minutes. Officer said he was approved and to go to ups and give his address. Visa came 3 days later

She arrived in front of the Embassy @ 7:30am. They admitted her @ 8:30am. Took her passport, medical report, visa fee receipt, and photos. She requested to have the interview in turkish. She waited till 11:15 for her interview. Consulor officer greeted her in turkish. Interviewed her in turkish. Consulor officer asked for bank records and latest phone records. He asked her 2 questions. How did we meet initialy? Why does she want to marry me? After her answers: congratulations, welcome to the united states. Please go to the UPS windows to arrange for shipment of your passport. That's it, no rudeness, no forcing her to speak english, very brief. Now we get to start our lives together.
There is a lot of misinformation going around about this embassy/consulate. Provide an email address when you apply for K1. Update your email address if you need with NVC after NOA2 b4 they send out your package to Ankara. As far as I know, ankara only communicates via email. ... read complete review

My husband was one of the first people to arrive to the embassy but was the last person interviewed so your arrival time will not affect your place in line. He waited for a few hours in a FREEEEZING COLD room... he cannot stop talking about how cold that room was!! The interviewing officer was a woman, he said she was very cold as well... she asked when we got married, about our joint sponsor (my dad), and about my pregnancy. She then asked for our red book marriage certificate. If you were married in Turkey make sure you have this with you! I had it here in the US with me and was nervous about sending it in the mail and figured we would be okay because he could get a certified copy there in Turkey. She told him to send the red book with his passport and handed him a green refusal sheet. So we just need to send those things together and should have his visa soon... just kicking myself for not sending it to begin with!! It's now in transit to Turkey and I guess it will be a couple more ... read complete review

They took his requested documents, photos, medical papers, and any additional evidence we wanted to submit.
A big thing to note: my fiance had already submitted original police report and birth papers just 1 month earlier. Yet they requested it again at the window. Thankfully he had new copies from just 2 days earlier. Best to get those just in case. The lady made him speak in English during his interview, even though he requested to get the questions in Turkish and answer in English. He did great 
They asked him the usual questions in addition to asking him about my past divorce. Then the lady smiled and said welcome to America. You are approved!!!

My fiance arrived to the Embassy around 8am. He said he checked in and the officer took his documents from him. He then went to a waiting lounge where he sat for 4 hours until his number was called. He says the interviewers are located in the back of the lounge behind glass windows. There are about 7 counters where they all sit. The rows of chairs where the applicants sit have their backs to these counters. However, when called, its easy for the people closest to the windows to hear everything that is being said--so, no real privacy there.
My fiance said that many people were rejected rudely because their English was poor and the officer couldn\'t communicate (they would ask \"how can you have a relationship and you can\'t communicate with each other?\"). So, its a huge advantage to speak good English. He even witnessed an elderly woman get turned away (could have been someone\'s grandmother--so rude).
Anyway, he was one of the last people called t... read complete review
