If a visa is rejected there is a always a wiat period to reapply. I am afraid he will not be getting a visa in time. There is little a lawyer can do. It is vey hard to get visas from Africa. You have to a large number of high value assets. Most of us can't gets our SO's here on temp visas.

Thank you for your response. It was very helpful. In reference to large number of high value assets what do you mean I do not understand? And what is SO's? Sorry this is a learning process for me as well.

On March 25, 2009 was finally the day that my boyfriend was to have his interview. The wait was torture but the preparation of all the documents were even worst. But yeah the day was here.

Well, Our happiness was short lived unfortunately the interview was cold and impersonal and lasted all of 3 minutes. The supporting documents were never even reviewed by the interviewer and he was glued to the passport just wanted to know why he wanted to go to the United States he replied for a Small Business Summit at the United States Chamber Of Commerce. Which he had all the documents with the confirmation # and receipt, and contact person to confirm everything those documents were never even looked at. He then questioned why he had not travelled to China and Togo seeing the visas that had been granted. He replied because he had this opportunity to become available so he preferred this opportunity. He then abruptly ended the conversation and gave the denial paper with the stamp denied and reasons given being 1. No travel experience 2. No Financial ties to Ghana.

If the interviewer had even taken the time he would have seen the supporting documents for his Business in Ghana, Land Ownership, Rental Property, His current construction contracts. etc...

It is imperative that he is in attendance at this Small Business Summit in Washington DC. What can we do? I called the Consulate and wrote an email explaining our situation. It is so frustrating spending all that time , and money organizing everything and it is barely even looked at.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I have been advised to just wait a year and try again, someone else suggested we should get a Lawyer and go back as soon as possible. Time is not on our side. The conference is May 11-May 13.

We were hoping that when he went to the conference he would also be able to meet my family. He has no intentions of staying in the USA at this time. but we felt that this visit would be strong evidence when we began the filing for the Fiance Visa process. We are both heartbroken. For each other and the fact that this Conference would greatly help his business back in Ghana.
