It's been so long since I was in VisaJourney, but findingdeb added me to her friends. Ican't even navigate around the site anymore. And I don't know where my timeline stopped, but it was more and more hassle. I just kept fighting and trying everything. After 2 years I think they just give in. We got the visas. Watson and Tarloh arrived Oct 30, 2006. We were married Dec. 9. Watson actually got his citizenship last month, July 2010--what a fantanstic day. We are still waiting on Tarloh's (his daughter) which was supposed to be a quick turnaround. Really, try everything you can think of and realize that even when you don't hear a word from the Ghana embassy, the file is still there. I hate to even try to remember those days. But its a matter of time and persistance.Keep writing emails, even if they aren't answered. Write your Congressmen. Just keep trying. We had huge hurdles, but finally made it. Much time and money. Setbacks with the wrong forms. DNA testing. I have a friend Reggaedancing, who was married. We both got done in two years. It didn't seem to matter, married or fiancee. Watson is working as a CNA and is going to go to school to upgrade his skills and salary. We're quite happy. Be sure to keep all your documents together--you have to produce them over and over w each new form. Good luck to all!
