Just wanted to thank the VJ community for all the help!!! My husband had his interview in Accra Ghana yesterday and he was approved for his visa the consular only asked him 5 questions: about how we met, his job, my job, if he met my parents and where would he work in Ghana. We were denied k1 in 2016 and because the CO KM said our relationship was a sham. So I was worried they would deny us again. But my husband said his interview was like 3 minutes and he saw the consular looking through our photo album and smiling. When he gave his initial document at the first window the person said that our file was huge, so they only wanted a few documents. We did front load and send more info with the NVC but I don't know if that really helped or not. God is so good!!!

I agree I think front loading was key to your husband's fast approval.  Congratulations to you both.
