Best wishes for the interview.
I advise you to be on the premises for the interview and have him tell the CO that you are waiting outside.
You won't be allowed inside but at least they know you got another visit in, especially if you only had one or two short visits.
Hopefully you front loaded your petition with quality relationship evidence and he is bringing more ongoing evidence with him
to the interview.
Ghana is tough, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Hand over your passport and your airline itinerary to your fiance when he's entering the embassy building for his interview because they won't allow you in.
