When was the last time you called NVC? Ghana is a 2 month wait so hopefully you will get a March date.

The status tracker on the ceac.state.gov site only will be of use once you get your interview date. Only then will it then change to IN-TRANSIT after a few weeks then once it reaches embassy and scanned in it changes to READY

Because nothing is ever consistent with NVC, just wanted to let you know that my status was "at NVC" up until Thursday evening and then changed to ready yesterday(Friday).

There's no rhyme or reason with this process at all!

I am so thankful for VJ, reading all the tips has kept me sane through the whole process. Thank You!

Will it be wrong to call Tuesday or Wednesday to ask about interview date.

Looking in spreadsheet i can see ppl having CC the week getting date.

So hoping i got to the pill of letters going to get interview date this time around.

If you don;t get email by Friday call Friday. All embassies don;t start same time. Some embassies still haven;t sent in their calendar of slots for March.

Philippines and Mexico I can attest to are always on the ball and usually the first embassies to start it up.

Just keep eyes on that email.

As soon as i arrive at the point of entry,

how long does it take for border patrol let you true?

its not like a stamp in your passport and you can go on right...

they need to open the packet enz enz does anyone know how long rhis might take? 5 min. Or an half n hour?

And as soon as u get true and you have entry to the states, do you take domestic or international Passport entry On the next flight?

Robrom,

I am assuming the immigrant is traveling alone, right?

What normally happens is that as you come into the immigration hall, you find a uniformed officer, wave your immigrant packet and say, "Hello! I am a new immigrant. Can you tell me which line to stand in, please?"

This is because each airport is different, and, depending upon the time of day you land, there could be a different set-up (if busy, more choices, if not busy, maybe just one or two lines).

You will stand in line, and then go up to the officer when it is your turn. You will smile (please!), and hand over your immigration packet. The Officer will open the packet, and might take your fingerprints and your picture. Then you will probably be escorted by the officer (or by another officer) to what is called "secondary". You'll sit while they check your paperwork. Then you will be released into the baggage hall.

You will collect your luggage and go through Customs. If you are then flying on another flight in the US, you will need to re-check your bag. If, when you checked into your original flight, your bags were tagged all the way to your final destination, you will find a "re-check" station - usually just outside the customs hall. If your bags were NOT checked through, you'll have to go to the departure hall and check in for your next flight. Once you have gone through immigration (whether physically in the US or at a US Border Patrol station in another country), you are following "domestic" procedures.

It's very hard to tell you how long it will take. It will depend upon how many people are trying to get through immigration at your POE when you come through, and how many officers are on staff at that time.

Conventional wisdom says you need to allow AT LEAST 2 hours to make your transfer. Sometimes you will need every single minute, and sometimes you'll be through in 15 minutes!

Go to the forums and look up the reviews for your planned POE. Some POEs are easier than others - not because they are nicer, but because they are just more used to the traffic.

Good luck!
