I received an email from the embassy on August 18th inviting me to an interview scheduled for September 17th; however, a few days ago, the IOM contacted me to cancel the appointment, and I have not received any further response since then.

If anyone has had a similar experience or is still waiting for a final decision, perhaps we could set up a Telegram group to exchange experiences and updates.

Hello everyone,

I am currently processing through Ankara Visa Office under SAH stream and I wanted to share my timeline and ask for your experience.

Here is my timeline from Client Application Status:

1. We received your application for permanent residence on June 28, 2023.
2. We started processing your application on October 13, 2023.
3. We sent you medical instructions on August 28, 2026.
4. Medical results have been received.

My current status is "Medical results have been received."

Could anyone who recently went through Ankara tell me:
1. What is the next step after this stage?
2. How long did you have to wait after "Medical results have been received" to get the next update in Client Application Status?
3. When the update comes, what exactly will it show in Client Application Status? Will it change to "Medical Passed" or directly to "Decision Made" / "Background Completed"?

I would really appreciate it if you could share your recent timeline.

Thank you!

next step may involve further background checks and final review, depending on your case. The status in CAS does not always update in a fixed order, and it may not explicitly show “Medical Passed” before moving to another stage. Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed timeline for the next update, as processing varies by case and visa office. Since your application has been in process since October 2023 and medical instructions were issued in August 2026, hopefully you’ll receive further progress soon. Please keep us updated!

Thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it. This is helpful, and I will definitely keep everyone updated here as soon as I have any news.

If I may ask, did you or anyone you know go through a similar situation after the medical exam? If so, how long did it take until you saw the next update or received your flight date?

Wishing you all the best with your own case too.
