If I remember correctly I have seen 1 case and I think it took a year or so for them to get approved. I'm blanking on who that was though.

Accra is notorious for taking a long time to process anything though, especially recently.

Good luck.

Yesterday I filed the Waiver of Inadmissibility. At this point we have done everything we can do it is now in the hands of God and the Government. This is the make or break for my return to the US. All we can do now is pray for a speedy approval. I ask that you continue to pray as you have done throughout this entire process. I appreciate all the prayers, thoughts, love, support you have shown me and my family. God bless you!!!!

Greetings,

I received an email yesterday from DHS/USCIS office in Accra, Ghana acknowledging that they received my waiver application yesterday and that it will take 30 to 180 days to adjudicate my waiver. The wait has begun. Thank you everyone for the prayers and thoughts. God bless you!!!!

Today is my 30 days out of the 180 days time frame for adjudication of my waiver. So the earliest I could hear something is today. What’s really going on at the DHS/USCIS office in Accra, Ghana? The last decision I can recall from that office was an approval on December 22nd, 2010. Eight months later nothing has been hear from that office. But yet they tell the elected official that they are backlogged because they are short in staff, backlogged for eight months?…”DOES NOT MAKE MUCH SENSE TO ME”
