First of all, all honor and praise to God who I have given all my worries and cares to. He answered prayers and given me many reasons to always trust and believe in only Him, not some CO.

My husbands first interview was on November 8th and received a 221g for call records only. I worked diligently to retrieve those call records and also printed more emails and also a few letters from close friends. I don't know all the details yet, but my husband did say that he was interviewed by a man, I believe the same man that may have interviewed Rominck....either way I thank God that this man saw the sincerity of our marriage and relationship. It has been over a year since my husband and I have been with each other. Our wedding anniversary is next month so everything fell into place, just as God planned it.

Many thanks to Visa Journey, for I would still probably be lost at the starting point. All of you who share your experiences and spread hope and inspiration, I am sure that I am not the only one who is indebted to you. I have gained many friendships, but Rominck you have been a true inspiration and I pray that you and your loved one enjoy many years of happy, joyful, and prosperous years of marriage. To all of you thank you for giving me hope and guidance, for not letting me give up and showing your support. The Embassy in Lagos, it ain't easy, but with God, all things are possible. I will try to get more details from my husband and report them to help later. To all that are still awaiting responses from NVC or the Embassy keep your faith in God, dont' give up! :thumbs:

Congratulations to you and your husband!!!! This is wonderful news! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Congrats Azuoma.

Man I wish US Embassy, Accra will move as fast as Lagos.

Hahahaha...what you don't know is that Lagos might seem to move faster because they deny so many!!!!

Yes, I would email them again and inform them that you are FOLLOWING UP to the email you sent 2 weeks ago (put in the date that you sent it). Whatever you do, don't forward the email to them from 2 weeks ago as that's considered an attachment of sorts and that email will be rejected.
