None of these are accepted into consulates. Before you go inside, have all your forms and documents ready with you (your passport, DS-160 form confirmation page, address information printout of the PTT branch where your passport will be sent, your photo and other additional documents). These documents will be taken and checked by a consulate employee and you will be given a serial number. Then, with this serial number, you will be called first for fingerprints and then for your interview with the consular officer. All these processes can sometimes take longer than expected, so it would be appropriate to plan your time accordingly.
QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED AT THE INTERVIEW:
Your interview will be conducted by a consular officer in English or Turkish, depending on your request, or a consulate employee will assist you with interpreting during your interview. Therefore, it is not important that you do not know English.

When you are called to the interview desk, the reason for going to America, how long you will stay, your relatives or relatives in America, your profession, financial situation and your previous trips abroad, etc. related questions may be asked. Consular officers may not ask you for the documents or documents you brought during your interview, or they may not look at them at all, but considering that they may be requested, it is still useful to have these documents and documents with you.
