Who said God NO dey . . . . ?
That was the text message my wife sent me when she came out of the embassy. Once i saw that text at work i knew she was approved. God is indeed Great
Documents sent to USCIS / Same for interview
1. 3 family photo albums (approx 500 picture)
2. Letters /cards with original envelops (about 50)
3. Receipts for moneygram (about 36 different date)
4. 3 years cell phone records with calls/texts highlighted
5. Printed 2 full years of viber communication (about 500 pages)
6. Plane tickets and boarding passes of all 7 trips to Ghana since getting married
7. Receipts from hotels we stayed during my visits.
8. Certificate of birth abroad /passports of 2 children we have together
9. 3-way DNA results for our first child.
10. Affidavit letters from friends and family
11. Copies of shipping bill of ladings
Note: Are documents were hand carried to Ghana on my last trip (25lbs)
At embassy she was called by a Ghanaian lady to window 2, who asked for her civil documents and all supporting evidence. She only accepted a few and said that is too much documentation.
5 minutes after the collection of documents she was called by CO. She was breastfeeding at the time, so CO told her to take her time and finish breastfeeding
CO – white American lady in her late 20’s early 30’s and very friendly
She claimed she had reviewed all our documents from USCIS/NVC.
Interview questions
• How do you pronounce your last name, I am learning small.
• Have you been married before
• What about your husband
• How many children do you have together
• Are you travelling with your children
• Who is the DNA results for
• Did your husband come to the embassy with you for your second child’s passport application
• She left her station and went inside the office, upon returning she said “madam I have good news for you, your visa has been approved. I am having issues with my computer today but I will give you a paper so you can come back tomorrow anytime with your passport, I am really sorry you have to come back again tomorrowâ€.
• CO kept interacting / giggling with our 4 months old baby the entire interview process.
FYI - This was our second time around, first application was denied 221g. I withdrew the application after NOIR and refiled again a new petition.
For all of you folks out there, there is HOPE
