I transferred my case from Ghana to Cote d'Ivoire in December 2022 after waiting almost 2 years for an interview appointment date in Ghana. I got an appointment less than 2 months after my transfer was approved.
I was interviewed by a young intelligent white consular officer. Questions asked include:
1. Who petitioned for you?
2. Where was she born?
3. What work does she do?
4. How did you meet?
5. How many times has she visited after marriage?
6. Has she been married before?
7. Have I been married before?
8. Do we have any child together?
9. Where does she live when she comes to Ghana?
10. Flipping through my album, she pointed at someone and asked who he was
11. Have I ever been arrested before?
12. Who is your joint sponsor?
Then came the magic words.....
I WILL APPROVE YOUR VISA! |

*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
