Process went smoothly and within our estimated time frame.
No issues discovered.
Only major delay was when POTUS visited Turkey in March/April 09, so the Ankara embassy shut down for two weeks, causing a backlog of interviews. |

Description |
| Review Date : |
July 8, 2009 |
| Embassy Review : |
Made to wait 90 mins past the scheduled interview time by 90 mins.
No issues during the interview, just wanted to see email chat/pictures and asked several questions about the petitioner.
Was asked when she would be travelling to the US.
Interview was in english, Umit attempted turkish, but the woman wanted to speak english (mostly).
All in all, very smooth. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
