| Embassy Review : |
The interview process was very smooth. They ask personal questions to make sure you have a real marriage. I also have two children. They ask my wife who was the at the interview questions like, how we met, what kind of work I do in US, where we met, how we met, how I propose to marry her, the last time I was in Ghana. My wife answered all questions and was told she was approved, but her police certificate was expired after six months, so they requested a new one. Everything went on smoothly, no DNA requested for children, that was a surprise, because I was expecting it. |

*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.
