I am a US citizen and my Ghanaian husband and I applied for his permanent residence in March 2008. There is nothing unusual about our marriage or case and both of our interviews went very well. USCIS has never in the last 26 months requested any additional evidence from us but we still have not received his green card. We inquired via InfoPass appointment last week and were told that our file was accidentally sent to storage and that there was no electronic information available about our case so she had to request to get the file sent back to the Fairfax, VA office. I asked our lawyer what I could do and this was his reply:
I visited CIS this morning and was told in no uncertain terms that no Ghanaian cases are being approved. The officer is as depressed about this as I am because she cannot see how they can automatically presume that every case is a fraud. I suggest another letter to your congressman.
Then I asked him this:
Why wouldn't they tell us this at our InfoPass appointment a week ago?
His reply:
Because you are not an attorney with whom they deal with regularly. They certainly had no authorization to make the comment and would deny it if someone claimed it was made. I do not know who is behind the blockage but it certainly is not the anyone below the supervisory level.
I'm curious....have any Ghanaians recently been approved? Recently as in the last two years? They certainly seem to be stalling on our case.
Not approving Ghana?
in Africa: Sub-Saharan
