Dear U.S. Embassy Ankara and Mr. U.S. Ambassador Jeffry L. Flake,

We, DV2023 Winners from Turkey, are writing to express our concern about the limited availability of interviews for green card winners from Turkey in the 2023 fiscal year.

As you may know, obtaining a green card is a long and arduous process for citizens of Turkey. After waiting for years to have a chance to get a  visa, many green card winners from Turkey are now faced with additional delays due to the limited number of interviews available at the US Embassy in Ankara.

Current amount of given interviews is causing frustration for selectees from Turkey and their families, who are eager to start their new lives in the United States.

We kindly ask you to increase the availability of interviews for green card winners from Turkey in the 2023 fiscal year. This will help to ensure that these individuals and their families can begin their new lives in the United States as quickly as possible, and without any further delays. 

We have only a limited time until September 2023. Please, schedule enough interviews for all diversity visa winners from Turkey.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
