forms and taxes

[gf97 1]

I was looking at some of these comments and the papers that are required for Gh.

How come one has to fill out the DS 156(which is the non immigrant visa application) and the DS 230 application which is the Immigrant Visa. Arent they like 2 different things? Why does Ghana want a non immigrant and an immigrant form.?

That’s confusing..

How many copies of the Ds156 and the 156K are needed? Im asking because in the directions it says that it should be completed in duplicate.So how many copies should be filled out of each form?

I also read that the 230 should not be signed until you get to the embassy. The same applies to the 156 as well right? They have that line that says “ do not sign below this line”

Do you have to submit another G325 when you go for the interview? Someone posted that it was a form you have to take.

What is FC 029 – i saw it listed on someones page..

Taxes: is it better to do the tax transcript or BOTH: tax transcript and actual copy of taxes that were completed. Should i start asking for it now--how long does it take and what the site to get it.

What in the world does the embassy do with all this info? Doesn’t it make you nervous that some strangers have all your info? And people wonder why identity theft is occurring—this is just too much info, I think, personally.

There is so much data-- yikes,... didnt someone also say that we need to submit a new letter of itent to marry for the interview-- im pretty sure i read that somewhere last week.

I might go to Gh this summer, so if I go I want to have EVERYTHING filled out on my part so that i know when the interview day rolls around, he will be good to good.

Do u think its a good idea to buy a tix around the interview data so that the embassy wont beat around the bush with the interview-- or will they not care that you have a tix, on one of these forms ,like the supplemental, i saw a part that said," do you have any special arrangements, like a ticket, if so, attach a copy of itinerary, plane, etc."

Can the people who have recently gone to the Ghana embassy, or about to go in the following months, make sure they tell us EXACTLY what forms you took with you? I read somewhere that like 6-7 forms were needed? Do they really need all those forms. Or were all those forms suggested because you never know what wil be asked for.

Duplicate means (2) of each.

If it says not to sign till you get to the embassy - then don't sign it.

Do you have to submit another G325 when you go for the interview? Someone posted that it was a form you have to take.

Has something on the original one changed?

Just the tax transcripts are enough. Took me 15 mins to get it faxed over to me - your timing may vary. Strangers? they are the government - they all ready have it.

Yes - you should do this.

sounds like a plan.

Do u think its a good idea to buy a tix around the interview data so that the embassy wont beat around the bush with the interview-- or will they not care that you have a tix, on one of these forms ,like the supplemental, i saw a part that said," do you have any special arrangements, like a ticket, if so, attach a copy of itinerary, plane, etc."

Not until you have the visa in hand - tickets will not help your case in anyway. They just want to know in that case if you have the means to travel.

Can the people who have recently gone to the Ghana embassy, or about to go in the following months, make sure they tell us EXACTLY what forms you took with you?

I went through Ankara, so I can't speak for that one, I would say - go to the embassy website, many have what they need online. (Ankara did, in fact - the whole process has been through email/downloading - no actual mail)
