I was there at 7.25 am and I waited outside almost an hour. It doesn't make any difference if you go there earlier or not because they do not let you go inside until 08.30. The guys at the gate were rude. They didn't let us to wait in the line. A police guy took my passport around 8.35 am but they do not even let you ask questions! Then I needed to wait inside but still in the garden till 9.00 am. A turkish lady make me enter inside the building and asked for my documents as: criminal records (both from Turkey and Italy since I also lived in Italy before). If you lived in another country more than 6 months, be ready to bring also criminal record from that country and its official translation/approval into turkish and english even though they don't ask it when they send you the requirement list, also my birth certificates, proofs,pictures,medical test, bank receipt etc.So with the number they gave me I started waited inside. Around 9.10 a turkish lady called me to ask questions about my italian criminal record and she asked original of the document hopefully I had it with me. Then I started waiting again. Around 9.20 am they called me to give my fingerprints. Couple minutes after around 9.25 am or so they called me for my interview Since I prefered to speak in english my interviewer was an american lady. She was very very nice!It was like I was chatting with one of my friends. She asked me questions like: ''How we met, when'' how did he propose me?, how was our engagement ceremony, if I met his parents , if they met my parents, how did it go when his parents met my parents etc'' and some other additional questions and she said congratulations, your visa is approved, you can go to UPS desk to give your address)
Note: Be ready for cold Ankara weather also inside the building it was very cold. About the interview; do not even worry if you are a real couple, everything is going to be alright just be yourself and relax! About the documents,pls make sure that you bring necessary documents I mentioned above even though they dont ask it on requirement list.
