Hello K1 visa applicants particularly those in Ghana. I am wondering how long it took for you to get to schedule an interview date. I hear there is a big backlog. Can anyone here from Ghana in this category give me an estimated interview date wait time. 

Thank you.

I saw someone on Facebook recently who said it took about 6 months for K1 interview. I don’t know if representative that is of the average wait.

Each case is different..I did hear tho that the embassy is moving better than it has done before.

Hello,

 

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. My fiance and I received our approval on 1/24, and a letter from the NVC on 2/12. I was just wondering how long did it take for you to receive a letter from the consulate after your NVC letter? How did they notify you and/or your fiance? And did they have to extend past your approval notice expiration date? Did you ever reach out to the embassy, if so how and did they respond with helpful information? I'm sorry for all the questions, but our fiances are from the same country.

Check out timelines for Ghana K1s here: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/filterlist.php

Enter visa as K1, country as Ghana and set for detailed results. It looks like there are a few records of people who have received visas recently.
