I am so excited for you. My husband also received his K3 visa today in Ghana. We are so thrilled. Ghana is really overwhelmed with applicants, so the extra time they take seems to be warranted given their quantity of applicants. Again, congratulations!

Hi. This is my first post ever, because it really hits home for me. Although my husband and I are seeking K-3 visa in Ghana, I can relate to the frustration and other emotions you're experiencing. We had our initial interview this past October and were "temporarily denied" pending further review and "administrative processing" and other evidence of relationship. Our next interview will be at the end of January, so I am praying that all will be finished at that time.

my thoughts to you is to be encouraged, first and foremost. Secondly, please don't give up...do everything you can to bring your spouse to the U.S. He deserves the comforts of constant electricity (with the exception of storms, disasters, etc.), flowing tap water at all times, A/C in units as a standard, etc. Love alone cannot get you through nights when you want to be close and romantic, but the discomfort of consuming humidity and sweaty bodies is too much to bear. Please understand that I do not intend to simply speak negatively of the country, but rather to point to the reality that you and hubby will face each day. I always enjoy my time in Ghana, but I am usually more than willing to depart when the time comes. I can endure many things, and I am by no means spoiled or well off, but rather honest about the simple pleasures I enjoy in the U.S.

Please understand that I am speaking from my heart, as I have visited Ghana several times with my husband, and I know it would be very difficult for me to live there for any extended period of time. I recently told my husband that if things do not go our way in January, I will come to Ghana...he laughed...even my husband finds it difficult living in Ghana since he's been in the UK for the past 10 years.

All in all, you will do what's best for you and your husband, but I implore you to perservere and dig deep to find enough "fight" to continue your process until you receive the desired result. If you need to visit hubby for a while in the meantime, that's always a great idea. I wish you well!!
