LoveinGhana!

I might not even here anything to be honest. A lot of April filers from Mexico haven't gotten an interview date. My case was complete 5/12 I might not hear anything until end of June for August interviews. The waiting game is killing me

Hopefully you will not have to wait a long time for your interview date. Keep your head up don't let the wait get you down.

We have been waiting since March 2nd. But we will have our interview date this go around.

Thanks Loveinghana! Soon you and your husband will get yours too!

Yes we pray so and looking forward to it !! Enjoy your awesome day!!

That's great news for you...we got put into AP....got 221g...additional financial docs needed. They asked for 1040 from my father in law but he's a private contractor and only get 1099; they want a job letter from my husband. They also said we may need another sponsor if these things can't be provided. I feel like I'm lost with all of this now.

I am sorry you have been delayed. This is ONLY a delay. You will have your approval soon.

Hansona....congrats! I am so happy for you!!! Great news from Ghana!!

He just got outtt!!!! He's approved!! He picks up his visa on wednesday!! ??

Awww Congrats!!!

My Wife just called to tell the one golden word: APPROVED!!

All thanks to Allah!!!!!!

Congrats!!! Great news!

Approved !!!

Thank you everyone for all the help.

Asked for all the original doc. marriage certi, PCC, birth certi. no other proof like photos together or anything.

Questions asked - how did you guys meet

what does your husband do?

does he like it there?

Done withing 45-50 mins of entering the consulate.

Currently the CEAC status says Issued.

Good luck to all. Hang in there.

Congrats!!!! So happy for you!

Ghana is a high fraud country and the CO's at the Embassy are very difficult. One visit and then marriage it is a red flag but you never know. I do wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Hon-tee, I know and everyone says....enjoy where you are right now because life is going to change soon. (sideeye) Okay.....If he's tell me to "relax mon, relax" one more time, I promise y'all gone see me on World News. "Woman looses it after husband says relax." And if he's not saying that....it's (brace yourself)..."It's just gas..". So if I say, gosh...my head has been killing me all day...."It's just gas...you gas will make your head hurt." Last night I was telling him that my iron level must be really low because I have been feeling light headed and dizzy...."It's just gas, gas will make you feel like you want to pass out." Really? Okay.....

I swear you make me laugh so hard!!! Your a nut!!! hahahahah

You are definitely not alone! You know what does help? Driving in the car with the music blasting and just singing at the top of your lungs! I always seem to feel better after that.

This whole process is an emotional rollercoaster. I've wanted to punch someone in the THROAT during this NVC stage especially. The waiting sucks. No doubt about it. This forum is good about listening and empathizing.

We all hold on to the hope that one day in the future (maybe not in the near future but in the future) we will look back at this process and wonder how we made it through, because we WILL make it through, and perhaps have a good chuckle over the mad people we became.

Be encouraged that there are lots of us on here feeling the same way, you're not a lone, and this will all be a memory soon enough.

Girl you are so right!! Windows down....loud music....singing.....FREEDOM of stress. hahahaha

Yes a memory that will be a reminder of how much we love our spouses and will endure anything to be with them! Love is magical!

thanks allah

thanks visa journey members

im done interview today n got APPROVED , woooooooooooooooooow

CO told me we will call u in week to pick up ur passport with visa

so happy n excited

love you all ​

Awww....so happy for you. Congrats!!

Thank you. You make me feel better. My husband is with me. We are filing for aboard.

Thanks.

Wow...you are blessed to have him with you every day. I can't wait to say the same! Good luck to you both on this journey.

Wow congrats to all the approvals and interview dates????????. God is truly our source....He is so amazing!!! Hubby and I have been praying for the Ghana Embassy to change the hearts of the people their to be fair and just in their decision making...we have to continue to intercede and lift the consulars up and the entire staff (because I know their jobs are difficult...especially in the high fraud country) as well as those that are being interviewed.

Remember, we all have the victory and by faith we will endure with strength and confidence??

Very encouraging and thoughtful words!! Much needed for all of us going through the Embassy in Ghana. God is always by our side...so I leave all in his hands.

So, this morning while sitting in horrible traffic I read this and chuckled. Not at you but with you...because there have been times where I wanted to scream or scratch someone's eyeballs out with dull fingernails. The ironic thing about this post is that just last night I was telling my husband that this process is "getting oooooooooooooold" (and I emphasized old in that exact manner). And I added that I can't take anymore and ready to fight. He laughed and told me, "just relax, relax." Well he has the patience of something or someone from another light year...which is a good thing in some respect because I am the polar opposite. But I went on to explain to him how this process is like having another job (but I am so glad that I didn't pay someone else to do it for me) and I have been consumed by paper, pens, binders, folders, markers and tabs and if I NEVER EVER SEE ANOTHER FREAKING OFFICE SUPPLY I would not complain and it wouldn't bother me one bit. And (I know it's not grammatically correct to start a sentence with AND but I did it), it seems that I have been doing everything that he has not a care in the world because he knows that "I got it."

I say all of that to say this....yes, this process can get the best of you. It's not so much the tons of paper that you go through but the wait. I have made it a point to ensure that whatever phase we enter that I explain every (and I mean EVERY) detail to him..not because I want him to feel my pain (well kinda) but because I want him to truly understand the process. So now here we are about 5 business days from the interview, and boy have the tides changed but poor little thing is starting to see it (he doesn't know that I know--my mother-in-law keeps abreast). I think that it will all come to fruition for him when the days draw nearer and he's sitting in front of the CO (if he hasn't done that yet). And (yes, I did it again)..men are built to be tough on the outside, he's not going to let you or anyone see him sweat. So, yes, it does feel like a lonely road, you are a party of one and your better half often leaves you speechless because they not get the full magnitude of what this encompasses--in the end it will be all worth it and your frustration will be a thing of the past.

*If this doesn't help--opt for a bucket of Garrett's popcorn

Wow....so very true! My husband is so calm and at ease with the entire process. He says "our time will come" we just have to be patient. (not that easy) I am like you I hate the wait and so ready for this to be done and have him here.

Popcorn or a good margarita!!!

This visa journey is very stressful. Especially, when you are doing mostly of the parts by yourself alone.I wonder any other feel like me. I am an USC petitioner. My husband doesn't even have a clue of this process. I am the one filled the forms, organized the documents, called USCIS and NVC many times, looked for the house, tried to enroll my kid in school, contacted movers and insurances. One of my friends asked him about how was the process, he replied.. "arrrrrrrrr.. it is not bad ..you just need to be patient ". I don't know what to say.

This process is very stressful and you have a lot on you right now. Keep your head up because there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I have done all the paperwork as well. However I explain every step of the process to my husband so he is knowledgeable of the process.

I know it can be frustrating but that is why we have this forum. We all vent and it helps my friend! God bless and remember not much longer and your husband will be with you!

My God..I love all of you sooo much..alll of yuu..I am decreeing and declaring in the mighty name of the most high God that approval and success is yours..All you have to do is say amen..I am sooo happy ..you ppl are family..

Amen sister!! Enjoy your blessed day!

Now let's all shout what we were waiting to here....APPPRRROOOOVVVVVEEEEDDDDD

Posted twice for some reason.....but congrats again

Now let's all shout what we were waiting to here....APPPRRROOOOVVVVVEEEEDDDDD

WOOOHOOOO I am so happy for you!!! Truly blessed!!

Please everyone, please don't forget to say a prayer for Swagg Star as they are having their visa interview tomorrow. As you all know how our embassy is in Ghana. So they need all VJ family prayers and support. Remember to lift all of us up as well as we are still waiting on our interview dates. Swagg Star good luck to you guys. Remember to lift your needs up to your God. It has already been written, you're been approved my friend. Love you and cheers fam!!!

Very well said my friend...Many prayers always!!

I looked at the NVC wiki and it says that you must included "bar coded sheet" in the IV and AOS package.

Is this the welcome letter you get from the NVC? Or is this something you get after you have paid the AOS and IV fees?

You will have the bar code sheet after you pay your fees.

GOD IS AMAZING!!!!!
