The hardest part of the process is getting past the guards. They refused me in entry that morning because I was an American. Told me to wait until 8:30, then they have no choice but to let me in. However, they let another American woman in with her fiance for his interview. No rhyme or reason to how they treat you. The woman at window 2 was not very pleasant to me. I thought she was nasty, Bassi thought she was doing her job. She refused to accept the DS156 and told me to fill it out again twice. Yes, twice. Why twice? I have no idea other than to be a wench.  Then we waited and waited and waited. You aren't allowed to have food, or electronic devices. There is a tv there showing CNN so at least you can watch that. It's very cold inside because the air conditioning is up kind of high. So dress warm. After waiting for most of the morning an asian man at window 4 interviewed us. He asked only a few questions. How did we meet? When did we meet? What were we doing when we... read complete review

He got a new appointment because they want to know some more information. They are also wanting copies of pages in my passport. They even want me to come down. I am not going to his next interview because they may try to set us up and find a flaw and deny us if we make a mistake or answer different from each other. Ghana consular in Accra are nitpickers. I am disgusted. He goes back July 29th.

My fiance had his interview this morning. He got to the consulate at 7am, was given a number and was not called until 10am. He was asked for the DS 156K and his passport photos only, he paid the visa fee and had his fingerprints taken. Then he was told to sit until the CO called him over.
The CO called him over about 30 min later. He was asked questions like how we met, he was asked to talk about me, he asked about my parents and what they do and about my sisters. Then he asked for the I-134 and my tax returns from 2007. The CO glanced over my letter of employment but did not ask to keep it. He did not ask for my bank statements. Then he asked for our proof of relationship stuff. The CO said we had "overwhelming proof" but wanted to see pictures form 2006 (we only had some from my trip in 2007)and snail mail. He said that phone records do not prove that we talked (despite the fact that both our numbers are shown on the records).

HI EVERYONE, JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT MY HUSBAND WENT ON HIS INTERVIEW ON THE 13 OF DEC,THEY DID NOT GIVE HIM HIS VISA BUT INSTEAD PUT IT PENDING. THEY SAY ITS NOW THE LAW THAT ANY COUPLE WITH A CHILD MUST HAVE A DNA TEST TO PROVE THAT THE CHILD IS PATERNAL HIS AND MATERNAL HERS. THEY SAY TO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING OTHERS CHILD(REN) AS THEIR OWN TO BRING SOMEONE OVER. THE SAD THING IS THAT I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE PLACE OF BIRTH THAT I AM THE MOTHER AND THEY WON'T ACCEPT THAT AS PROOF OF MATERNAL STATUS. SO I ADVISE ANYONE WITH A CHILD WITH HIS OR HER SPOUSE OR FIANCEE TO GET A TEST THROUGH WWW.AABB.ORG. ITS VERY EXSPENSIVE BUT IF YOU CAN GET IT EARLY YOU WON'T DELAY YOUR VISA. OUR CASE HAS BEEN DELAYED FOR 3 MONTHS TO DETERMINE THE PARENTAL STATUS OF OUR CHILD.

Going to pick up packet 3 and then packet 4 (appointment letter) at the Ghana embassy takes ALL DAY. Be prepared to be cold in the waiting room, too.
The email address to use is either the U.S. Citizen Services (if you are the USC) acsaccra@state.gov or Consulateaccra@state.gov if you are not the USC. Put the NVC assigned case number in the subject line or body of the message. Phone calls to the consulate are usually unsuccessful.
O had a good experience with the American consular officer. He was kind and friendly. Here's how it went down:
- Arrived 7:00 for 7:30 a.m. appointment.
- Let in at 7:30. Sat for about 30 minutes.
- A Ghanaian woman then called his name and asked for O's papers. O asked which papers she wanted. She would not tell him. She was not friendly and didn't want to help. Finally O just gave her everything and she picked through it and tossed back the rest in a messy pile. She took the evidence of relationship... read complete review
