Hi everyone!


We submitted our application in May 2023 under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program. We received our UCI number in May 2025, and our online status now says that the processing started on May 14, 2025. Our file has been sent to the Ankara Visa Office.





We are registered with UNHCR (not the Turkish government refugee system we don’t have the Şartlı Mülteci Kimlik). I wanted to ask:


For those of you who did your medical exams in Turkey if you were registered with UNHCR, did IOM help pay for your medical exams? Or did you pay it yourself?





Any help or advice would mean a lot. Wishing the best for everyone here!
I don’t think anyone in this group can answer your question accurately, since we have completely different procedures and timelines from yours. It might be more helpful to check with a forum or group that has applicants similar to your case.
 
Fortunately, the processing time is still at 28 months according to the last update dated 16 July .

Please share if you have any update .

I applied April 2023 - security check not started
