Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your input. I left for Ghana for my daughter's interview. I arrived the night before the interview in Accra.

The next morning, we went to the embassy around 7:15am. We were allowed into the embassy compound at 7:30 am.

An embassy staff started calling out names and going through each person's documents and collected the relevant

documents and asked us to sit down and wait till we are called to any of the booths. We sat there for almost three hours

before it got to our turn.

The officer went through our documents and the first thing she said was that my daughter's birth certficate does not have

Akosua on it even though its in her passport and the NVC forms I filed. She therefore asked me to have Akosua added or have a new one issued before they can continue with the process. She again asked me if I had any evidence of my relationship with my wife(whether we were still married, because their background check on her indicated she lived in a different address. and not at my address. I told her that since they never asked for evidence in the interview letter they sent us, I did not bring any proof, however I had a copy of our bank statement which bore both our names( joint account). I gave her that

and let her know that I had to call US to have some proofs forwarded to me by fax or email, because of that I cannot

bring original copies of what she wanted. She agreed to take copies.

I had some documents sent to me the next day, (she asked me to bring the evidence on any

monday, tuesday or thursday at 1pm.

I was able to get new birth certificate issued by friday 24th Aug. which cost me 15GH cedis( $ 15 ) with Akosua inserted.

and with copies of our car title, life insurance, some utility bills, a copy my wife's driver's licence, we went back to the embassy on Tuesday 28th. We had to wait for another 4 hours before we were called. I handed the documents to the

Officer. She went them and then asked for my daughter's passport. She then asked my daugther " are you happy to go and live with daddy?'' :thumbs: she smiled and said yes. The officer then handed me a blue slip(visa collection ticket) and asked

me to come for the passport the following friday :thumbs: ( in 4 days for the visa) :dance: .

There were no questions, NO DNA tests (even though some people I met at the embassy were asked to go get it). It was all so simple.

We (my daughter and I) arrived back in ATL on thursday( 6th Sept) afternoon.

So guys, thanks for your wonderful encouragement and advice. In case anyone has any questions, I am ready to share.

My advice is get all your names on documents to match every document you are submitting.
