CR1 reaffirmed

[bravagreen 36]

My CR1 was reaffirmed and on it way to Ghana for second interview. I have been reading on visa journey so much and I have not come across anyone whose case was reaffirmed and he was given visa on the second interview, all I read is most or almost all the cases that are reaffirmed are still put on AP after second interview. Pls I want to know if there is anyone here or anyone who knows people who have been given visa after their case was reaffirmed in Ghana. Any information will be much appreciated. Thanks to all.

Congratulations on being reaffirmed. My husband and I are also waiting for word from USCIS after his first interview, the visa was denied and sent back to USCIS.

It's been over a year now since his denial, and still I've heard nothing from USCIS about an NOIR or anything. I've filed the case with the USCIS ombudsman, but still now word.

How long did you have to wait from denial at the Ghana embassy to now, when you've gotten your reaffirmation?

any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I was denied on 28th July 2015 and nvc received the case back in around mid January this year and forwarded it to USCIS on February. On 1st march USCIS sent us notice that they have our case back and they are reviewing it. On August 11th they sent us NOIR and we responded 30th August and they received it 31st August. On 7th September they reaffirmed the case and sent it ro nvc on the 23 September. Hope this can give you an insight to how long you will wait.that means from denial to reaffirmation is 15 months for our case

Can anyone here tell me if I will need the petitioner birth certificate as one of the document for my interview, which is coming off next month

[bravagreen 36]

The petitioner birth certificate will be with them because is part of the documents n needed by USCIS wen the petitioner is filling. But you can keep a copy of it. What is necessary are documents to proof your relationship

Thanks so much

bravagreen, may i know the reason for denial if you dont mind? And also wow, 15 months of waiting from denial to reaffirmed. I am also waiting from USCIS for NOIR/NOID hoping our case will be affirmed too.

If you are not an American by birth then your birth certificate is not needed. Just a copy of the naturalization certificate or anything that you used to prove your US status.

By the way, start your own post next time. Hijacking someone's post with yours is not helpful and not nice.

Thank you for sharing. I am working on my appeal now for the NOIR. I will be sending it off next week. It is tedious!!!

Thank you for laying out your timeline from denial to reaffirmation. It takes longer than the 1 year I was supposing. This information is very helpful.

VJ members here, Is there any reaffirmed case approved or granted visa in ghana recently?

[bravagreen 36]

Yes I know of one, but he was put on administrative processing for 6 months after his second interview and he was finally called and issued visa.

bravagreen, what type of visa was it?....Is the new 6 month AP applies to those of us who have been in AP for 13 months before getting reaffirmed?
