All went well at the embassy except that I was the last person attended to due to the fact that my original interview date was changed as my it fell on a holiday
I arrived at the embassy @ 6:50am. By 7:30am we started forming 2 queues at the entrance of the embassy. One queue was for non-immigrant and the other for immigrant visas like the K1. BY 8:00am we were all seated inside the embassy @ the consulate section.
As I initially said, they had to attend to those who originally had their appointment today before attending to those of us whom our interview date fell on the holiday and was scheduled for today.
I was finally called @ 11:45 to present all documents and forms requested in my pocket 3 and every other evidence I had. (NOTE: the embassy do not accept the new DS-160 form- Just fill all the forms in packet 3 given by the embassy, again DO NOT print anything from the internet because they wont accept it)
30 mins later I was called to take my finger print (biometric). I was called again in another 15 mins for my interview.
These were the questions asked:
*Who filed for you?
*How did u meet her?
*Has she married before?
*Does she have kids?
*What is the age of the oldest and the youngest?
*What does she do?
\"What is her position @ work?
----mind you, the questions were asked based on the evidence I presented. so your questions might be different but they will definitely ask you how u MET-------
After answering all these perfectly, the Consular passed all my docs to me and gave me a colored paper indicating my pick up date and time for the VISA. ***I'll Pick Up my visa on Dec. 10th
All in all, I did not face any problem with my interview. They were nice and were professional. They treated each case differently. My advice is make sure you have MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE to back everything because thats the ONLY way to prove your case not just answering questions. GET TO KNOW YOUR PARTNER before going because they\'re professionals and very much experience.
GOOD LUCK ..

We arrived at the embassy well before 7:30, but they wouldn't let me in with my fiance so I sat on a rock across the street and bit my nails. My fiance paid his fee and handed in all of his forms and the evidence of our relationship. They took it all: proof of my trips to ghana, phone records, emails, my you tube videos, wedding invitation & website, copies of packages and letters, and pictures. we had very few pictures of us together in ghana, maybe six, and some were from the same event. But we had lots of skype phone records. I had everything paperclipped with post it notes on each section and a cover letter, but I don't know if that made any difference. They gave it all back later, I think maybe they photocopied it first.
So then Babs waited some more and they called him up to the interview window. this was an American man. he asked Babs to sign his name, asked if I was his wife or fiance, and then asked when we met, where we met, how we met. He asked when was the last time Babs had seen me and when he said I was waiting outside, the officer said to go call me.
After that the officer mainly asked me questions. He asked me about when I was in Peace Corps and how many times I had been to Ghana and looked at my passport. He said all of our evidence was fine that he had no questions about our relationship and that was the good news. The bad news was that I don't have tax transcripts and the Accra embassy requires tax transcripts. I asked why when I had two other forms of evidence like the I-134 form required, but he said it was a post policy so there is no way around it. He said I will need a cosponsor since i was not regularly employed last year and can't produce tax transcripts.
That was the bad news. But it wasn't too bad because he gave us another appointment for the next week. That gave us time to get a signed ORIGINAL I-134 from the co-sponsor with tax transcripts (only). the transcripts could be faxed but the form had to be original signed so we had to get it DHL. The officer was really helpful as far as giving me specific information about this.
Then he said our application will also require significant administrative processing, but couldn't tell me why or what kind of processing or how long that would take. he said could be days, could be months, but can't start until they had the I-134. Then he asked Babs if he'd been married before, asked about HIS parents names, where they lived, if they were still living, and about his siblings and made him spell out their names. Babs was really nervous and the officer said he wouldn't bite. He was nice, he joked around with us a little.
Everyone we had to deal with was nice and helpful and they were really patient with Babs' nervousness. But I do think the tax transcript thing should have been in the information they gave us if it is post policy, because it is not on the I-134 that you need them.
Also all the forms the embassy gave us in the packet were outdated and sometimes badly copied. They still might have accepted them, but we typed and printed out the more recent editions from online, and Babs just gave those to them.
The following week Babs went back and turned in the forms from the cosponsor. They didn't ask any more questions, but we had a mistake with the tax form (tax returns instead of transcripts). The officer (a different officer from the last time) gave him the link to the IRS website and gave him another appointment two weeks later. Really they were pretty patient with all of that. By the next date we had the transcripts as required and Babs handed them in. They took his contact information and said they would call him about when to pick up the visa. Now we are just waiting on Administrative Processing and praying it will be taken care of quickly. Thank God for getting us this far.

Kingsley day started at 6:00 am heading to the Embassy of Ghana for his interview. He stated the line was very long. The security guard at the Embassy of Ghana started letting people in around 7:30am. They called Kingsley to the window @ 9:30am asking for his information and the money for the visa. Around 10:30am he was called for his interview by a white male officer, which was very nice to him. The officer asks Kingsley four questions, was I married before, do I have any kids, and their name and age, my address in the states, work history, and name of my employer.. The officer didn’t ask for our photos, they only wanted to see my phone bill. They try to bamboozle Kingsley with his answer to the questions ask by the officer. Everyone please stand firm with your answer, don’t change your answer. VISA APPROVED.

I went for my interview on jan 21 2010 at 7:r0 at the Us embassy accra.I was called for the first time to submit my document,again I was called and was asked some few questions like who filed for me and if my husby has visited ghana before.later on I was called and my finger prints were taken,I waited for about 3hours after fingerprinting before a consular officer called my name.The whole interview took like 15mins,the officer asked if my husband has been to ghana and how many times,how we met,what he does for a living and his address.He asked one questions which I couldn't answer,he mentioned a guys name and asked if I know who that was,I said no and he said the guy is my husby's neighbour.He also asked me why my husband divrced three times,I gave him reasons behind his divorce and he said why did my husband chose to marry someone from ghana when there are lot of women in the states.He also told me that thinks that I will leave my husband when I get to the states and also our marriage is fraud.I was like wtf!He then issued me form 221g and told me that my file will be sent back to Uscis for review.I felt like crying my ass out...I went home and called my husby,I shed tears on the phone.Later he called his lawyer and contacted some congressmen.His lawyer later filed a writ of nmandamus so the Uscis reaffirmed my case faster and I now have a new interview coming next year march 28.

My fiance' said all in all the person he dealt with at the embassy was very nice. He asked him 4 questions--how did we meet, how many times have I come to Ghana, where was I working in Ghana, the name of my previous spouse, and the name of my current supervisor at work.He presented 2 folder files that contained emails, cell phone logs, pictures, affidavits of support from my parents, etc.
At the end he was presented with a blue paper and told to come back and pick up the visa on 11/12.
