 Hello Hello,
I have been looking around and this site seems great. Full of very useful information. I have not relocated to Turkey yet, but I am trying to gather as much information as I can on living there.
My fiance (he is Turkish) and I have applied for a K-1 visa back in March for him to come and live in the U.S., but because of his previous overstay in the U.S., we had to file a waiver and now are playing the long waiting game. I have visited Turkey three times so far, but am trying to find out if I would actually be able to live there if I had to.
Thanks for letting me introduce myself, and I look forward to searching the many forums that seem to be full of great information.
iyi gunler,
lovebug (Wendy)

Welcome Wendy. I think you would be able to live here if you had to.
Nevertheless, I suggest you slaughter a big pink goat, during upcoming bayram, and offer it to the K-1 gods.

Welcome, lovebug!
What part of Turkey would you consider relocating to? All the best with the visa saga!

Being such a big lover of Turkey as I am, I would suggest relocating to the airport departure lounge.

Hi burbaco,
I am not sure. My fiance lives on the Asian side of Istanbul (no big surprise there), but there maybe a job opportunity in Ankara (his sister and husband are moving there shortly). Of course, so much is still up in the air. Really too early to tell. I would love to live on the European side of Istanbul, but I wouldn't be able to afford it.
David, are you still living in Turkey? What advice can you give (I am afraid it is advice I really don't want to hear, right?)
