Today my husband had his interview. And to both of our surprise the staff from the embassy said his interview was postponed cause of the lack of consulate available. We have waited so long for this day to come to only get pushed back or delayed another 2months.He has all the required and requesting documents to complete his interview. Why are embassy postponing visa interviews?Any and all experience and comments are welcomed. Thanks in advance. This is a vey SAD day for us

No idea but with all the things that have been said about the Ghana Embassy recently it's possible the staff is under review or required to take additional training before they will accept new interviews. It's only a wild guess though so please don't take my statement as the truth.

They clearly said postponed to lack of consular available so having all the right documents blah blah blah won't change anything it's seems like they are under staffed and you must wait 2 more months nothing more you can do

I believe most immigrant visa number has been met and CO cant issue anymore visa until next year. Every country has a specific number of visa they can issue in a fiscal year. This is my guess tho

That only matters for lpr or work visa. USC filing the petition there is no limit to the number of visas issued

It's better than denial .

Yes it's better then a denial but it feels like one. From getting CC in September to waiting 2 months for a interview to just have them say postponed for. The next two months into February 2017.Everyone was not treated the same. Some got to be seen while others were not.This treatment of humans are not fair.

I have just checked my calendar, the 28 fell on a Wednesday, recently, since October the consular section is not having interviews on Wednesday and is only accepting US citizens to access for DHS interviews or processes. Them also need previous confirmation and a consular to meet them at the gate to enter.

my dear I didn't mean my reply in any bad way. Look earlier To mid this year, it was taking 4-5 months to get interview date after case complete. Things began to change around July-August. Each waiting period in this process is awful. But having a chance to go back to the embassy is nothing compared to being denied. You have a chance to prove yourself to them. Others went and was plain and flat out denied and have to wait a year or more to be with their partners. What I said in my other reply was just to encourage you and nothing else. Good luck.

Oh I didn't take it a something cruel I understood all you said our process has been going on since last year. And every time we get to the next step we are excited. It's just real depressing when you have already waited beyond a year just to hear when you finally get to go to an interview that you waited so long for in the beginning is postponed for no reason. Everything is in place as it should like many others people petitions. Just for the life of myself I don't understand why some people bad mistakes or dishonesty should be labeled on all real relationships and marriages.I wish everyone on here blessings from God. Because dealing with the people at the embassies are unbelievable. We are humans yet many life are put on hold or destroyed all because of anothers decisions on their own personal beliefs. We are not all bad just like all embassies employee arr not bad. But I did understand your comment and didn't take it negatively.
