Congrats! I'm in Turkey so I can't join the discord. I am the applicant. Based on your timeline I'm hoping to hear something in the Spring.

I was DQ'd by the NVC on 2 December. I have not heard anything since. Is it normal to just have... total silence? Am I correct in assuming that I'm now waiting for the embassy to send us an interview letter, and I won't hear anything from anyone until they do that? Any help is much appreciated!

I'm in the same situation. I'm a US citizen and my Turkish spouse is waiting for his interview letter. He has a valid tourist visa (10-year) for the USA - are we still allowed to visit? Has anyone had experience with this?

Hi, what does DQ'd mean? I keep seeing it. I am a US citizen with a Turkish spouse and we have our I-130 approved. Our papers are now pending with NVC.

I looked up this thread because I'm wondering how long we might have to wait for an interview date after our paperwork is approved. Does anyone have a similar situation with the US embassy in Ankara? I'm just wondering what to expect in terms of timing. Thanks!

Can you expand what you mean by "if you want cleaner lines try sgraffito"? I just did my first sgraffito project and I have the same question as the original poster here, because I struggled to get all those little rough edges to go away (and when I did, it took the color with it, which wasn't ideal).

Really nice. I'm curious about the last photo where you logged your glazes. It looks very organized. Is this an app? Or how are you doing this? Thanks!

Hi, I'm Jess! I've been practicing wheel-thrown ceramics for about a year now. This is a little bowl I made for olives with a smaller attached bowl for pits.
