After 3 years, would the file still be at the embassy, or would it have been returned to NVC or even USCIS?
That’s the big question

Yes, you need to provide proof of bona-fide relationship, and it's unlikely that chat/call logs alone will suffice.
Thank you … I can see that. It’s a lot of work when there isn’t much money enough. Lol

Doesn't matter - you are basically starting over, and you will have a new interview, and the validity of your relationship will be considered.
I hope I get through it when the time comes. Is there anything new I must consider when filing?

All I can say, is expect scrutiny. Ghana is a high-fraud country, and this fits right in.
I know that… daily we talk and her self doesn’t know what step she has to take.

It is significantly longer now than it was in 2018.
I know right… it’s not her fault neither could it be mine. We just need to plan the travel. She isn’t that wealthy to do the east traveling. So I do understand the long wait.
so that probably reason why I need the information. So I don’t go back to the embassy to answer the question when was the last time we met

Have you not seen your wife in 3 years? What do you mean you want her to "step down"?
I haven’t seen her for the last 3 years … even though we talk every day. It’s just because of financial constraints

Sounds like a green card marriage, honestly. I think you're looking at more than just the public charge issue.
Ooo we’ve been married for many years now and the reasons as to why she’s not been able to come here is for the fact that, she lost her job and home. So for a year and two she was actually struggling to find a job. Now that she has found one is why I and her are working on her coming to Ghana again. It has been her choice to come back & fro.

When did she last call USCIS?
23 minutes ago, carmel34 said:How many times have you been together, in person, over the last 3 years? Has your USC wife visited you in Ghana during that time? Based on previous cases from Ghana that sometimes take years, I would recommend that you see each other one or more times prior to filing another I-130 (if necessary), or a new DS-260 and upload the evidence of those visits to the CEAC site. For sure take evidence of time spent together since 2018 to the eventual spousal visa interview in Ghana, which could be in 2022 or maybe 2023. You don't want to go into a visa interview and have to answer the question, "how many times have you been together, in person, since the previous visa denial?" and you answer "none," as that would call into question the bona fide nature of the marriage relationship. Good luck!
That’s makes sense… ever since the denial we hadn’t been together. She’s been to Ghana for ones. Due to some financial constraint she hasn’t been able to come. We are now arranging she comes for the second time. You think it’s necessary she comes back again right?

What does step down mean? And who is her?
Usually the I-130 petition expires after two years of inaction.
Then the visa expires after a year of inaction.
If you and your wife have been keeping in contact with the embassy for the last 3 years I think you'll be okay.
But, I don't know your level of interaction, so I cannot say.
I would not be very surprised if your visa and petition has expired and your wife has to start the process all over.
Thank you… so now all she has to do is to either email or call them to find out whether the visa and petition has expired right.
step down I meant, she arranging to come back to Ghana to find out if she has to restart the process again or perhaps resubmit some expired documents

Then you won't need the I-824. Follow the consulates direction. The DS-260 is definitely expired as is the the medical.
Oo kay… what ever is expired I can redo them given the chance. The da-260 is on the ceac website right?

You'll have to submit some extra documentation because you didn't submit a new Affidavit of Support right after the refusal.
Usually people submit documents from a joint sponsor at the interview or a couple weeks after.
3 years is a really long time. Your medical definitely expired, so you'll have to go for another one.
Have your wife call or email the embassy. They'll be able to tell you if you need to start over or if you just need to go back to the NVC stage.
Yes 3 years. But after my 221 g. I did submit my uncles affidavit but very unfortunate there was a missing w2, there was no notarization… that was when I was finally refused.
another thing I wanna ask, Is it necessary she comes back to Ghana? Because I wanted her to step down… -
Just now, mane said:
I will let her do that. From all the contribution it seem, basically I have to start afresh the process??
You know during the start of the process she filed an affidavit which is the i-864
So if she should file again to the nvc what will be the impact to the already refused visa?

Send these two links to your wife. She can read through the instructions.
But, you can also tell her to phone the embassy.

Alright… does that mean my I-130 petition still stands??
Is that the only forms she’s suppose to file to NVC?

So the I-130 doesn't expire but the DS260 does?
I-824 she has to file that in the USA right? So they recall the petition ?

You're the beneficiary correct?
What about your partner, the petitioner? They should also have the information.
You shouldn't be doing this alone.
Yes I am the beneficiary. Now yes is ready to file new affidavit if there is a chance to do it. But all that I am seeking for is how to do it. Because the last time she called the uscis for information. They told her everything is now in Ghana so we should be dealing with them. So do I stand a good chance calling the embassy with any suspicion? As some people say?
and if she has to get involve what exactly must she do? Will be glad with your information.. thanks -

Wow!! I can’t imagine the hustle now. Meaning I shouldn’t have waited this long.
I didn’t have any knowledge then on what to do. And I had lost my password to this site of information. But is the process and length time the same??- SalishSea and PaulaCJohnny

My understanding is that after this amount of time you would need to restart the whole process. That would involve having your spouse file a new I-130 petition.
Oh okay… that will be another wait.

Now that I have a sponsor… I don’t know which channel to submit ma documents to. I’m thinking like, does the embassy need to give me the green light to submit my documents to dhl or I can go there and do that ma self without any letter from the embassy.

At the time of interview my wife’s income wasn’t up to federal poverty guideline per the affidavit she presented that I took to the embassy.

What did you do in the last three years?

Please, members anyone one with an idea of where and how to reopen my case at the Ghana consulate office? I was refused a visa in 2018 based on public charge. INA 212(a)4(a).
The note that was handed to be after the interview only points me to the law. No direction as to how I can file an additional document if appropriate.
I need an answer as to whether I need put together the affidavit of support again and send to the embassy.
Refusal
in Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)

Yeah… but my daughter is going to be the co sponsor. From the poverty guideline it requires $21,775 at 125% to qualify as a sponsor for 2 and also at 150% it’s $25,130 for two and my daughter earns more. So can she sponsor and my wife to earns more than the amount at 150%. Or how much does she needs to earn annually?
