Consulate Review: Ghana Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 18, 2013 Embassy Review : I will say that the Embassy is improving drastically. Our journey through its doors on June 11th was flawless with less hassle. My fiancee got there at 6:45 and by 10 she was out of there with a blue Slip in her hands and was told to come back in 3 days to collect her passport with visa in. The CO was super nice and the interview was like having a conversation with a friend. There were only three questions they asked my fiancee, how did you meet, where does your fiance work and when did he propose to you and where? IT is truelly a blessing. All in all i will rate the Embassy 4.5/5 since there is always room for improvement but as it stands from the day we went in to collect the visa they have earned a nice reputation in our books. Rating : Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
