Do you think that being there for the interview is helpful? I have been to Ghana 3 times in the last year and I want to be there to support my husband so bad. I know he is a confident, wise, and respectful man and can do this on his own but I want to support him as much as I can. I would love for them to just know I was there for him.

I understand. It's hard. This whole process is. It took a toll on me physically, emotionally, financially, even spiritually. The best advice I can give you is not to let other cases get to you. Everyone is different. Everyone has their own challenges. Everyone has their own stories. If possible try to learn from others mistakes, develop from their positives, and focus on your case. It will drive you absolutely crazy if you start stressing about how others cases could impact you. I did it far too often and it wasn't healthy.

I was outside the embassy when my husband had his interview. We also made sure that the CO knew I was there...sent a letter from me and copies of my passport stamps, airline tickets, pictures from the days before, etc. I think it's great to go and support and have an additional trip to submit. That said I know some who attended and were still denied. I also know others who didn't attend and their men had know problems. I think it's a person choice. One nice thing is I was able to bring some of my husband's stuff home with me after.

Hi O&GForever,
I have been following all your advice and so I was wondering if you could help me with with a specific information. Did you also submit tax returns including your husband. I got married on December 26, 2016. He does have a legal status in the U.S. yet, but I have seen a forum where people are discussing obtaining an itin number. Any advice or suggestions would help. Thank you in advance.

I didn't file my 2015 taxes with my husband, because we didn't get married until March 2016. We are filed jointly this year and I will be using his Social Security number since he is here now. If you want to file with your spouse you will need to get an ITIN in order to do so. @IcezMan_IcezLady can walk you through how to get an ITIN. I know she has filed taxes with her hubby who is still in Ghana.
