NEWLOVE13

yayy so we got an update our case went from ap to ready back to a... About how long does it take after ready to be issue... We've been waiting for almost 2 1/2 months after his intervie.... But I won't get my hopes just yet ???

My fiance got his visa on June 3rd.... so took about a month.

Sirforson, our status was incorrect for a while too. It only changed pretty much the day before the visa was issued. We kept up with it by calling the visa issuing center and also emailing the embassy (IVAccra@atate.gov). Good luck

Mines is still in ap I hate this

I THINK THEY DONT REPLY TO EMAILS ANYMORE, COS I SENT THEM EMAIL TWICE AND GOT NO RESPONSE.

BUT HAS THE STATUS UPDATED DATE BEEN CHANGING??

Sorry just now seeing this.. They requested a new aos and tax documents he sent that in June and we're still waiting I finally called the senators office and all they did was update it on the 18th of July after a month of not being updated I'm so tired of this

Hi NEWLOVE13, WAS HE ASKED TO BRING EXTRA DOCUMENTS?

AND WHAT DID THE CO TOLD HIM AFTER THE INTERVIEW?

ALSO HAVE YOU EMAILED THEM OR GONE THERE TO CHECK THE DELAY?

yes we have emailed them and no reply i finally called my senator for help

no but he didn't get a 221g either they just said he needed to return his passport and a new aos along with my tax papers

After we were approved it took two weeks to get the visa. Did he get a blue pick up letter? If so he should return to the embassy and inquire. When was the last time the CEAC status was updated?

Has anyone else recently from Ghana been told that they were approved for a visa and they took your spouses passport and left u in ap for awhiand if so how long did it take before they issued the passport

Has anyone here successfully being through an Administrative Processing in Accra Ghana?

How long did it take and what was the outcome?

Were going threw it now they still have his passport

I am experiencing the same issue and dont know what it actually means.

I DID DNA WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER, THE RESULTS HAS BEEN RECIEVED AT THE EMBASSY IN GHANA SINCE MAY 30, BUT UNTIL NOW THE STATUS UPDATED DATE HAS BEEN CHANGING EVERY WEEK BUT STILL ON AP.

I HAVE SEND THEM AN EMAIL BUT NO RESPONSE YET. ITS SO FAUSTRATING AND DISRESPECTING.

ATLEAST AN ACKNOWLEGMENT OF RECIEPT OF THE RESULTS AND AN EMAIL INFORMING APPLICANTS WILL HAVE BEEN BETTER.

THEY NEED TO RESPECT APPLICANTS A BIT

Me and my husband are going threw the same thing he had his interview in Ghana on the 4 of may and they still have his passport

this is so frustrating and they've had his passport for 2months and that haven't updated the system in 3weeks

Sometimes even with status changes it's not always updated. We were not informed when my husband's visa was ready for pickup so he had to just go to the main office and check.

He's been up there twice and they tell him the same thing it's a waste of money Cab wise so I just wonder has this happen to anyone

If he has visa and passport in hand, I wouldn't worry about that.

But the embassy has had his passport for over 2months and the updated it as ap two weeks ago but nothing since

Would anybody know why the site has not been updated my husbands case has not been updated in two weeks would anybody know why

Hello VJ family,

I will be going for interview in Accra next month and I have a few questions I need help with.

1. How long will it for the medical examination to get to the embassy and the cost?

2. My wife has a life insurance of which I'm listed as a dependent and she is five months pregnant, can I add both to my evidence?

3. How long should I expect to stay in Ghana? I live in Europe and currently going home purposely for this visa interview.

Thank you all

My husband went to holy Trinity and it cost like 1500 cedi and it took a week to get them back

Thanks guys, I think I'll go the route of printing out the evidence from petition date til now like A&Oforever did.

We didn't have any knocking rites or traditional ceremonies, although we had talked about it initially.... so glad we didn't now.

And yea, the whole "knowing each other for too long" thing. Ugh I feel like I've heard this as a major reason for denial recently, which I think is ridiculous. Isn't it better to know someone well before you get married? But yea, we're trying to prepare for that question at the interview. My fiance and I actually first met on my first trip to Ghana in 2007, but we were just friends and only kept in touch every once in a while (we were busy with school, had poor means of communication, were dating other people, etc) until 2012 when we started talking more frequently and realized our feelings for each other. I'm an extremely cautious person in relationships and wanted to take things slow. We really only became "official" in 2014 after I traveled there again. We then got engaged in Sept 2015. I dunno. I know this can be a "red flag" to the embassy, but how can they say that a couple dated for "too long" when 90% of that time was spent apart? And the whole "why didn't you have kids yet" thing too. Ugh don't get me started. Haha. Anyways, done with my rant. But yea, we had never really thought of these things as negatives, but after hearing other people's stories, we definitely are worried that this will be a reason for denial for us. Just hoping for the best. Thanks for the advice everyone!

VWP = Visa Waiver Program.

Your perception of 'rudeness' is your own....in my experience, people who have called me or my colleagues rude were only those who didn't qualify for a visa....they believe (erroneously) that a CO must believe every word and every paper said or presented....they don't. Just because you say something does not make it true, and a CO is not rude for not believing you....after all, none of us know how you or your husband presented their case...we have only your version....

In my experience, when someone is denied, even temporarily, and asked about it by their spouse, finance or 'friends', the typical response attempts to cast aspersions on the CO, putting the entire blame on that person instead of themselves.

Becoming a CO is not as simple as filling out an application form and fogging a mirror....less than 2% of original applicant pool succeed, by passing a series of written and oral exams that weed out lots of people...then follows weeks of intense training, followed by on the job training and experience, preceded by a length presentation about the country they are about to be assigned...regarding that country's economy, political climate, and yes, fraud rate. They don't go into the field unprepared.

USCIS does not interview the two parties in most cases...the petition approval standards are quite low, and they leave it to the COs to sort out the wheat from the chaff.

oh wow thtats good to know

well, whateverrrr, in my own made history book, he is my hero.lol...yes I agree thats wrong but in the long run, the point is, we all deserve fair and decent treatment by some of these consular officers and also some consideration
