Consulate Review: Ghana Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 28, 2022 Embassy Review : My husband arrived early for his interview. US Citizens have protocol so even though he was supposed to start at 8:00. It was a little bit after he was called. They asked for all the original documents :birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate ect. The first officer said she didn’t like his passport photo size. My husband had to get another one. The first and second officer asked these questions: 1)Who petition for you? 2)Where does your wife work and her job title? 3)What is her date of birth? 4) Have you been married before? 5) Has she been married before? 6)How many times did your wife come to Ghana? 7)What were the dates? 8)Where did we meet? 9)Do we have kids? 10) Has he been to the embassy before? Both officers reviewed all our documents and photographs to show proof of legitimate relationship. My husband said he answered the questions in detail. They gave him the letter to read the rights he has and how to go about getting his visa. Overall positive experience besides the extensive wait times and having to re-do his picture. Rating : Good

*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.
