Is the American embassy consulate opened for business? just saw your review and want to make sure please

Hi, i have a question please. 

So my wife is in Ghana and i have sent in my petition for the I-130 but wanted to verify, would i be able to get a Tax ID for her even though she is not here  and the I-130 is still being processed. 

I am about buy a house and would want to put her on the lease or some bank information as more evidence. 

Please let me know if its advisable or if its possible.

I have another question please,

I got married to my fiancee after our K1 got denied and she is processing her change of name, we already have the affidavit and she is now waiting for the Gazette from ghana publish. 

Just inquiring, do we need the Gazette for me to submit the i-130 because the affidavit shows the name change. 

Do i need her birth cert aswell. 

Or would i need a copy of the biometrics part of her passport? 

Just want to make sure if i need all these because everything else is ready to go.

So my Cousin went for her first CR1 interview at the consulate in Ghana, she was then told to submit more evidence with the passport of her kids together. she did that and a couple of days after, the status on the CEAC website says READY> , Does that mean she would have to go for another interview please, just want to make sure.

This is what it says on the Ceac webpage.

Just a Quick Question, i am starting off the CR1 after the K1 denial. Do we really need to complete the form I-130A as well as the I-130? A little confused on that part.

My fiancee got to the interview and she was denied because:

Her brother sent an invite for visitors last year and she was denied in June and we sent in the K-1 Petition a month after. They asked her if she was engaged then, then why is she going to visit her brother and not me. But she wanted to go because she is the God mother of his brothers baby and she had to go for the Christening.

The Councillor then went to ask another Councillor and came up and said she is ineligible at this moment. I dont even know if we can have a review or appeal because it said she is ineligible under 221(g) 

For the supporting evidence needed for the I-134(Affidavit of Support), do i need to submit all these documents listed at the USCIS website (Below) or can i just attach my tax transcript or end of year W2 for the K-1 interview.

Can you please elaborate into details as to what the process was from the moment you got there til the time you got out please. 
As to the forms their took first  and so on please. 

Sorry for the bother. 

Thank you 

I just called the NVC and after 4 weeks,i was given the case number and the Invoice number. Just wanted to ask, can i go ahead and pay the fee for the DS-160 and start finding dates lets say 2 to 3 months ahead or wait till it get to Ghana embassy first. 

And what piece of information would she need when she is going to pay for the DS-160 please

Any insight would be really helpful because i dont want the case to expire then we have to go through back and forth to have it brought back to Active status.

I just received an email from USPS, of a letter i am receiving today and its coming over from USCIS, Im not sure if i am approved or not. the website still says the same exact thing ""CASE HAS BEEN RECEIVED"". 

My heart is racing 1000 miles per hour lol im not sure if its good new or bad new lol, but i am hopeful. Fingers crossed. 

I should have stayed home and not come to work lol.
