Going for Interview in Ankara, need advice!

[leominn]

Hello brothers and sisters,

I am going for CP in Ankara in June. I would very much appreciate if anyone who had done CP in Ankara could share me his/her experience.

And I have a few questions too.
I am a 4th year engineering student, speak good english and I fulfill all the other requirements for a DV visa. But I dont have any sponsor nor a job offer in US. And I only have half the amount of poverty guidelines in my account.

My plan is I will go there this summer and stay there for 3 months. May be Ill find a seasonal job or I will just have my vacation. Then I will come back to Ankara at the start of next semester to finish my school. I would like to know what my chances are.
Should I be honest and tell all my plan to the interviewer? Because I heard they dont like if someone has a potential to go back where they come from, which is Ankara in my case. But I will definitely go back to US after finishing my school and I will also be visiting during semester breaks so that my absence from US would not be over a year.

Or should I just say I will settle there and find a job and hope for the best?

Any suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
leo

Those sound like good plans, but I would encourage you to keep them to yourself and not tell the Consulate officer.

The principle is that you will not lie; you will really look for a job once you land in the U.S. You may then leave the U.S. as long as your stay in Turkey does not exceed 6 months.

Thank you for your reply Amine. I will be as honest as I can at the interview. I am just afraid that I wouldnt be able to prove I wont be a public charge in US.

And I assume you are a Turk judging from your name. If you have any experience doing CP in Ankara or in Turkey, would you share with me please? You can send me a msg. It would be very much appreciated.

I have another question; do I need to contact the consular office before I go to the interview? Or I can just go there on the day?

I am not from Turkey I don't believe you need to call the Consulate before the interview. It's not necessary.
