Amen!! My husband had his visa interview this morning and was approved!! I'm so happy. Finally it is almost over and he will be here soon. He was there a few hours and says that he had a older white man that was friendly. He was smiling and only asked a few questions. 

Questions:

1. How did you meet your wife?

2. What have you been doing in ghana while waiting?

 

Then some small chat about doing Uber business (which my husband does). then he says that he was approved!

 

Its been almost a year exactly since we first started this process. We included chats from watsapp since 2015-present, Facebook chat from 2014, calling history, wedding pics, and maybe 10 pics of us doing things casually. also western union money transfers. my mom was able to attend the wedding and we have pics of that, so i believe that helped. I know it is common to front load for the Ghana embassy, but honestly I didn't. I only included 2 pictures from the wedding initially. Everything else I mentioned was taken to the interview. I'm not saying I'm suggesting this, but honestly I didn't even know about front loading when I submitted my NVC application lol. Good luck all that are waiting! And if I can be of help to someone waiting on the Ghana process let me know. I had a pretty straight forward and smooth Visa process.

I dont know how many pages. I exported our whole chat history from 2015- present. I sent my hubby the file and he edited out a few conversations that he thought was too personal. He brought this to the interview.

It actually took much longer than the 6 weeks that they say it does. I had to keep calling and trying to get through to find out his status. It took about 3 months. I kepy emailing and eventually they told me that it was taking a long time to get an interview scheduled with the Ghana embassy.
