    Lutz in our Uscis we got a notice that says the case was returned on march 1 2016  but that was two months after the NVC got it back the forwarded it on to Uscis but the date Uscis got it back I got email and status on Uscis same now 12 months buts NVC should know if they sent back. 

    Jenilyn and Awal , we are talking about those whose cases has been reaffirmed by the USCIS after it came back from the Embassy in Accra after first interview denial. some of us has already passed through all what you are talking about. We are at the reaffirmation stage ,waiting for the 2nd interview. So this thread is about CR-1 REAFFIRMED CASES IN GHANA

    You will receive a letter known as ( CALL IN LETTER ) the applicant will then go to the embassy with that letter and get an appointment for reaffirmed cases. It takes time to get the letter maybe 2 - 3 months. Our case was reaffirmed in July 2016 we got the call in letter in October i went to the embassy on the 26 October and got an appointment 16 January 2017,  is very slow at the embassy i will advise everyone to be proactive on their cases keep calling and emailing them....

    jefraylee I didn't know about this (CALL IN LETTER) thing, according to the NVC reaffirmation notice I received in January, my case was sent to Ghana on December 29, 2016. that means I should expect the Call In Letter by the end of this month? It's really slow then. But why are they saying they don't have the case in their system?

    I was also shocked.  While waiting for the USCIS to review, I did send in more documentation under something called Request for Approval, or something like that, I can't remember the exact name.  My lawyer filed it and I provided a LOT more evidence of our relationship.  We already have strong evidence.  But for whatever reason, the embassy in Accra does not agree.  I am older than my husband, but I really don't believe that's the issue. she never once asked him about it, but was harping on two other issues, which I believe is what's causing all this.  You should get hold of your congressperson, because Accra will never tell you what's going on, but they did tell the congressperson's rep exactly what they did, and he in turn, told me.

     

    lutz, why don't you call USCIS and NVC yourself to find out if true your case was sent back?. And did your case status change or it is still the same: EXPIRING SOON?

    I posted this in a new topic field, but just found out today, that after all this waiting and the embassy in Accra saying they don't even have my husband's file, today I was told by the congressperson's rep that they did have the file.

    Even though the USCIS had reaffirmed our case, they embassy disagreed with the reaffirmation and sent it back AGAIN to USCIS at the end of February this year.

    If anyone has been through this, can you advise?

    Thanks

    lutz, I'm shocked to hear this, but why didn't NVC or USCIS inform you that whenever you call them?. I have not heard anything from my Senator's office yet, I need to call them today to find out what's going on. I even called the NVC yesterday and I was told that our case is in Accra , And that according to their records the Consulate have not updated their system since December, so the NVC can not find out if they received the case or not.. So lutz, did you appeal for your case to be reaffirmed or the USCIS just reaffirmed it? For my case they sent NOIR/NOID letter, and responded and they revoked it for lack of strong evidence , So I appealed by filing form I-290B to reopen the case. The case was reopened and reaffirmed by USCIS.

    Yes reaffirmed did this already, praying for all in the process of course. ! 

    Ok, If your case is a reaffirmed case then yes we are all waiting for a second interview dates. According to the NVC reaffirmation letter I received, it says our case was sent to Accra Ghana US Embassy since December 29, 2016, but we have not heard anything from Ghana up to date. Is that normal ?

    Jenilyn and Awal, who are you advising to call Accra ? Kwame?...For us it's a reaffirmed case. It has gone through all these channels already. Now it supposed to be in Accra waiting for second Interview. So Pray for us and we will also pray for you to get reaffirmed.

    Hi Nyala,  When you call the NVC, what are they telling you?  Didn't you get an update from them via email or on one of the sites (I can't remember which, I believe the USCIS site was where mine was listed as having been sent from the NVC to Accra).  I'm curious what the NVC is telling you when you call them.  When I contact them, they just say the file has left their hands.  You said you got a letter on January 10,  what did the letter say that makes you believe the files are still at NVC?

     

    lutz, Anytime I call NVC about our case, they say our case was sent to Accra on December 29, 2016. And always tell them the consulate also says they don't have it so where is the case now?. And the lady said she is putting notes on the case for a supervisor to work on the case to find out where the case is right now, so I'm waiting to call again on monday or tuesday and the struggle continues.........

    I called this number several times but no person answers, it is all automated answers. Please is there anyway to reach them? I doubt if really the case has been shipped to Accra, so I kept bombarding NVC with daily calls until they find my reaffirmed case.

    Same here.  They did reply, and it took about a month to get that reply.

    Yes they did reply me too about a month ago after several emails I sent. Folks, I think all the current reaffirmed cases are still packed at the NVC offices, not yet sent, that is what I think and believe. Let's keep calling the NVC .Because any time I call NVC it's a different story. Although the NVC letter I received said, our case was sent to the consulate in Accra since December 29, 2016. I got this letter on around January 10, 2017

    I don't know if that's true.  I was not given a new number, though my lawyer filed a new DS 260 electronically, so that may produce a new number, but I don't have it yet.  That's a good question.  I am going to follow up with her about that. Thanks. 

    lutz I was not given a new case number either. I don't think a reaffirmed cases needs a new NVC case number because they would have done that before returning the case back to the consulate. OR?

    Any way let us try the numbers given by another VJ member on this thread, did you get that link? Good luck to us

    Hello Nyala, True about the emails, though I did get one response not long ago, and while I had that person online, he or she was communicating with me.  Though, no help at all, just saying the file is not there yet.  How does it take a file two months to reach there, that's what I don't get.  It may be sitting there, but no one has found or touched it, that's all I can think is happening.  I have to check and see if my letter got there, but anyway, I have not heard anything from them yet.

    lutz, so no even one reaffirmed case has reach the Embassy in 2017? This doesn't make any sense Or? Is that normal?

    Hello REM4Always, How long were you being shown that 'Expiring' message?  I believe your case got reaffirmed around the same time as my husband's (December 2016).  My CEAC status update is still showing this 'Expiring' message.  Have you heard anything directly from the Accra embassy?  I've sent them another email, and my lawyer is also doing the same. 

    lutz good question, that will help us figure out how long we gonna be seeing this?..so what about the letter you fedexed them? have they received it or not yet? I think sending emails to them is useless. I read somewhere that they don't have time for emails any more. I sent more than 15 emails to them but no response, so I let my go there herself to check and they told her that the case is still not there yet.. So I'm confused now

    Our case was reaffirmed in July 2016 and was forwarded to the embassy same month, my wife got the ( CALL IN LETTER ) in October 2016 which i went to the embassy on the 26 October with the Call in Letter for an appointment. The embassy scheduled my interview on the 16th January 2017 which the embassy called me a month later to change my interview date to 18 January. There is nothing good about reaffirmed case at the US embassy in Ghana is all drama and story telling. After my interview the consular gave me 221g requesting for Co-sponsor and DNA request form. Same piece of papers was given to me in 2014 after my interview but they never called me for the DNA or ask me for the Co-sponsor. On my interview day the consular accused me for failing to attend a scheduled DNA test which i didn't show up, that was a big lie from the consular. After my interview IN 2014 the only call i got from the embassy was when they decided to return the case back to USCIS for REVOKE, don't get confused Mr. or Mrs reader ( on the 221g request form the consular gave me in 2014 they stated on it (WE WILL CALL) meaning i was not given an open appointment to submit the Co-sponsor that is the affidavit from the cosponsor. My dear brothers and sisters there is nothing good about reaffirmed cases at the US embassy in Ghana same drama people go through. Nobody is happy with the separation with his/her family living overseas, so what is the point of me not showing up for a DNA scheduled for me? The consular's has no respect for the people of Ghana thinking everybody is just suffering and looking for ways and means to run away...Our son will be 3 years tomorrow daddy is not there to celebrate his birthday so bad but God the almighty is fighting for us and will continue to do so..Wish everyone the best of luck.......

    So what is their problem the reaffirmed cases? what is our crime if we just want our partners close to us? OMG...We are waiting and see what happens to us too.

    That expiring soon is a computer generated response. For a long time,  my status said the same, but on Feb 14th it  was updated to admin processing .  This is the message I have now "Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached. 

    For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.
     
    As far as USPS overnight, I do not know. Rarely will FedEx or UPS get it there the next day. I've used both. It makes it around the same time, but USPS has a cheaper rate.
     

    REM4ALWAYS So you also have a reaffirmed case ? Yes I used USPS and I tracked it this morning and it's on the way to the Embassy. It is much cheaper.
