The message on the USCIS website said that the card was mailed on 28 Oct 2015.
We were part of the mass biometric mail out.
We resubmitted the pictures and signature Dec 2015. Husband called the 800 number for USCIS to let them know we still had not received the card. The operator saw that were were suppose to get the card in October 2015. She put put a rush order on it. It was printed the day we called and we got it two days later.
To God be the glory! |

Consulate Review: Ghana
Review Topic: K1 Visa

Description |
| Review Date : |
May 27, 2012 |
| Embassy Review : |
My fiancé went to the window for first man to take the documents. He brought a small multi-pocketed folder with the necessary forms, police certificate, and medical results–all labeled. He also had a 5 inch binder that contained the initial petition and as well as the new evidence. He was allowed to carry all this in a packing cube I got from eBags. I had put new evidence on blue paper (boarding passes, hotel receipts, passport pages, etc.) so it would be easy to find. The evidence I front-loaded with the original petition with was on green paper.
The man was frightful when my fiancé pulled out the binder, but was relieved when he saw everything was labeled with Post-It notes. My fiancé told him what he was giving him as he slid it through the slot.
The man had put them with a pink file. My fiancé saw the word “Approved” on the pink file. We could not figure out if that meant we would be approved if everything was in order or if the papers have been approved up to that point.
Fiancé was asked about his job.
He then was asked if he paid money to any person or any bank.
He paid the fee. He had exchanged $240 dollars to cedis on Friday. By Monday, the exchange rate was higher than Friday so he had to retrieve his phone to call sister to bring more cedis.
Word to the wise: bring more cedis than you think you will need.
His name had been called twice while he had been contacting his sister.
Called third time by a different man at window 6 where he went to swear in, sign his name, and write my name.
He was asked these questions:
Where was your fiancé born?
Why didn’t we get married in Ghana?
Why did someone else besides the fiancée write a letter of invitation for a B2 visa? (We applied for a B2 visa in 2009 and were denied.) He and the counselor were like two children going back and forth. (No she didn’t. Yes she did.) My fiancé stuck to his guns and explained he wanted to come to visit my family. It was a trick!!!
Counselor saw the binder of evidence, but specifically asked for pictures of my recent visits.
He looked through them, started typing and looking on the computer for about 2 minutes and then wrote on the blue paper. My fiancé didn’t know what it meant. He then folded all the documents and put them with the pink file. Fiance’ noticed that counselor was left handed, just like he was.
Fiancé was told not make any travel arrangements until he had visa in hand and that he was approved. It took less than 10 minutes.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
