I emailed Ankara about doing a DCF in Turkey and they emailed back
saying that I can file a second petition in Turkey and that it will take
a month in Turkey to do this. I am going to wait until next Wednesday
to see if we get any approvals for the I129F or I130. If we don't get
the approval by then I think I am just going to tell my wife to send all
the documents in for the I130 directly to Ankara. She has everything
ready inluding the police certificate and the I864 notarized. After
that I will fly out to Turkey.



This is exactly what I don't want to do but seeing how BCIS is handling
the case and that it still has to go through NVC I have a felling we
will be waiting at NVC for months so I think we are just going to file
again directly in Turkey.



I sent a second email to follow up with Turkey regarding a second
filing. I was suprised that we can file twice but that's what their
email said but I want to double check one more time because their
mistake would eventually be my mistake.

Hi T,

Just wanted to make a comment that I don't think your case should be at
NVC very long, certainly not months. The beneficiary is female and is
not from one of the "terrorist" countries. But if Turkey will DCF, and
it only takes a month, go for it!



Best Wishes,

Rene

Thanks I am working on the I130 right now as we speak. I could just
ask my lawyer for a new filled out form but like the BCIS I have no
confidence in him because I am pretty sure the RFE's we received
were because he either forgot to send the correct forms in or he
sent them in late.

The I-130 is the USC's petition. You will have to file it in person.

For Direct Filing's in Turkey you can only send the forms in via UPS. I
only have to be present for the interview. Either way if I have to
remain there for an extended time I think I will do that.

Isnt it rediculus as to the time that this is taking now? Angelika and
I are 2 days ahead of you, and this really has us to the end of our
rope.. I will be flying over to her in a couple of weeks, and believe
me, we are going to probably do the DCF with Frankfurt..

Currently I am going to email Frankfurt and see what all will be
involved with getting the process started..



Life is a SIN living without the one you love.



Time just seems to be wasting away while our files lay on a shelf
somewhere aging, to see if there is fraud involved..



Sometimes we just have to vent this anger, and let it out!



Good luck in Turkey.. hope everything goes your way..

I think that many who have come as K-1/K-3 to the USA would have decided
to go DCF had they known the problems associated with EAD/AOS/Social
Security/Drivers License...the whole mess.



DCF eliminates most problems such as those- with the Greencard arriving
weeks after your own arrival. I thank God weekly for having been able to
go that route with Cathy.

I was looking for previous postings that you had made, in this area.. I
need to ask you, do we need to cancel our K-3 first? Or can we let it
ride til we file the DCF route? Thanks Sid & Angelika

Although I was told that I did not HAVE to (by the BCIS and Embassy), I
sent in a letter canceling the K-1 petition just before leaving for
Spain...and received NOA2 approval 2 mo. later. Typicial!!



What you might want to do would be to mail the letter cancelling it,
AFTER you have filed at the embassy, and are SURE everything is OK (ie
no missing documents, etc.)

Hi T,



Do you know by any chance if Ankara will do a DCF for an Iranian
citizen? I'm wondering if by some chance our K1 interview doesn't get
good results, if DCF for us would be an option.



Thanks,

Rene
