Denied tourist visa at Ghana Embassy WHY

[kps518 0]

On March 25, 2009 was finally the day that my boyfriend was to have his interview. The wait was torture but the preparation of all the documents were even worst. But yeah the day was here.

Well, Our happiness was short lived unfortunately the interview was cold and impersonal and lasted all of 3 minutes. The supporting documents were never even reviewed by the interviewer and he was glued to the passport just wanted to know why he wanted to go to the United States he replied for a Small Business Summit at the United States Chamber Of Commerce. Which he had all the documents with the confirmation # and receipt, and contact person to confirm everything those documents were never even looked at. He then questioned why he had not travelled to China and Togo seeing the visas that had been granted. He replied because he had this opportunity to become available so he preferred this opportunity. He then abruptly ended the conversation and gave the denial paper with the stamp denied and reasons given being 1. No travel experience 2. No Financial ties to Ghana.

If the interviewer had even taken the time he would have seen the supporting documents for his Business in Ghana, Land Ownership, Rental Property, His current construction contracts. etc...

It is imperative that he is in attendance at this Small Business Summit in Washington DC. What can we do? I called the Consulate and wrote an email explaining our situation. It is so frustrating spending all that time , and money organizing everything and it is barely even looked at.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I have been advised to just wait a year and try again, someone else suggested we should get a Lawyer and go back as soon as possible. Time is not on our side. The conference is May 11-May 13.
