I thought we were pretty well prepared but I guess not. The Co asked for the original marriage cert ( he did show the certified copy) as the original is with me. She said she needed the original. She also asked for our marriage photos, again which are with me. After work I did send the original marriage cert and wedding photos, he should receive them DHL by 10-21. Once he receives them he was told to submit those documents and passport to DHL. I will update once we hear something. I guess we are back to the waiting game. **UPDATE** Finally 9 months ( 8 months) after the first interview he was approved! In February while in admin processing, we received a request for a second interview. This time they asked me to be present. I could either attend via phone or go in person. I of course choose in person. We were interviewed by 2 Ghanaians that were "tasked" to gain additional information. They were not counselors but employees. Basically, we were told the counselor was not convinced of our marriage. I'm glad I went in person! After the interview, we were back to the waiting game. We did not hear anything until the end of May, when they finally asked for his passport and because medical exams are only good for 6 months he was asked to do another. Finally June 7th his visa was issued! He is now on a flight to America. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 118 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 935 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

*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
