Gm!!

My husband interview was at 8am, of course he arrive early. Once he was able to get in, he had to submit his original documents such as police report, marriage license etc.. He was told to give his documents to one on the ladies at the window, he said that she was very rude, nasty and mean. After he sat there for hours, he was finally called to the window, where the African American male who interview him. He said the guy was very nice and friendly. He only asked him eight questions

Who filed for me?

When did I meet my wife?

How do we communicate?

Has she been to Ghana before?

When did I propose?

What does she do when she is not working?

How did you find her on Fb?

where did she travel to after she came to Ghana?

That's it! I have read on this group where people have submitted way more evidence than we did. Here is what I submitted

20 pictures from the first visit (including wedding pics) I did not create a wedding album

40 pictures from the second visit

100 pages of chat records including fb, viber and whatsapp

6 months worth of phone bills from at&t

2 pages of my calling card

8 statement from relatives and friends

Along with the other evidence they needed, so all together I had about 400 pages.

I did not find out about this group until I was at that nvc stage, and that's when I sent all the information. This group is very helpful and I appreciate everyone sharing there experience. My husband says you have to go with confidence, in my opinion I think we were approve because he had someone nice to interview him, if he had one of the ladies to interview him, I think we probably would have been denied especially getting married on the first visit. I like to thank EBUNOLUWA, MRS BONSU for all there help
