I need help please

[Matildanana 1]

I have completed all the process and the requirements of k-1 visa for my fiancee. I have completed the form DS-160 and I have paid for the visa fee but I can’t schedule for the appointment. I know I have to schedule the interview appointment myself but it says I have to receive email from the Ghana consulate before I can schedule the appointment. It’s been almost 1months and still have not received anything approved email from the consulate. I have emailed the consulate in Ghana for several times but no important reply for what I have asked. My question is 

1. how long it takes to get the approval email from the consulate before you can schedule the interview appointment for k-1 visa? 
2. can I schedule the interview appointment without the approval email? If yes, how can I do that?

This is a great question for the regional forum.  Every embassy is different but most will not permit scheduling an interview until your case is received at the embassy in question and a letter sent out.

Perhaps in the meantime you can complete your VJ timeline so people know what stage you're at.

Hi! I was in the same situation! Have you send the embassy the ds-160 plus the confirmation of the payment? They need this to approve you for scheduling the appointment!

if you are waiting for an interview in Ghana.. it can be from 30 to 60 days... you have to keep checking. As for me.. the embassy emailed me the date for my wife interview.

She said the interview was less than 10 mins

@Matildanana Please how did you pay for your D-160? I am at that stage and with the new website it is very frustrating on the process. 

[Matildanana 1]

You go to GT bank and pay for it and you get the receipt number to pay it.

the GT bank is asking for a reference number from the new website AVITS. And some how know one know how to get that form from the new website. Its really frustrating

I'm not certain as we went through Zambia, but you may get an answer by contacting the embassy directly, especially since it sounds like this is a new system and others may not have experience with it yet. Our embassy was quite responsive, even as we waited more than 4 months before we got an official "case received, come bring documents" email.

 

Good luck!
