Hello VJ family,

Today my fiancé received a call from the U.S. Embassy in Ghana, and I was as shocked as she was when she told the news. She said the embassy called her and asked her if she had all her paperwork together, and she said yes. They asked her if she would like to come in for her interview on August 17th instead of January 9th. I almost hit the floor when she told me this, GOD is great. Less than 3 months and she has an interview in 3 weeks from Ghana, :wow: that’s unbelievable. Is this normal, has it ever happen before. The only problem is she really isn’t ready, because she didn’t get her medical and she needs her police clearance certificate from Ghana which takes about 10 working days. She is going to the police station tomorrow, and she is going to call and set her medical appointment also. These are the only to things that must be done, but here’s the big question. If time isn’t on our side, will they still give her the interview pending her medical and police clearance if she goes there on the August 17th. :help:

Nice!!! First time I am hearing of this from Ghana.

You should be able to get the police certificate in time. The medicals should be able to be done too. I think most of the medicals stuff gets done in one day and then she goes back for the results (unless the procedure has changed). Even if she does not have everything she can still go to the interview. If there is something missing the CO will give her a date to come back with the required documents (but I think she should have it all).

Good luck!!

Congrats and Good for you.This is Gods favour and You should be greatful.The police certificate can be obtained within a week or you can ask for express thus paying a little more.As for the medicals if you do have your appointment letter I am sure they will get things ready for you to go for the intervew.All the best and Good luck.

Let give thanks to God for everything. By His grace more positive news will be coming out this and coming years for GHANA. No need to panic and by God grace she will have everything ready before the due date. She should go to medical center with her new appointment date. Normally it take two weeks for the report to come out but due to her date they will it make express and she will have it ready before the date. For the police report she can get it the same day by adding extra money. One thing I want to bring to your notice, well am not sure the type of birth certificate she is having and if it is not the biometric one then she should go for it asap cos I heard they dont accept the previous ones lately. Good luck and I pray she will approved on the first interview by Gods grace. Praying for everyone on the long waiting to get interview dates sooner.

CONGRATULATIONS! I am aware of others who were called to come in recently within a few weeks and they were told not to be concerned with the medicals at this time because it can be done after the interview. Call the embassy to confirm this. Just know it will delay the final decision but you are still so far ahead of the game considering the original interview date so a short delay after the interview won't be as bad as waiting for January. Also, if I remember correctly, isn't there 2 parts to the medical process which requires a short waiting period in between the two parts - if this is true, she may not be able to get it all completed before her interview anyway but I would do what I can.

Come on US Embassy in Ghana! Keep up the movement. :dance:

Staying strong and patient in love and faith!

Thank you so.... very much for all your positive words. She is Liberian, and she already has her Liberian Birth certificate. That is the very first thing we took care of.
