Approval notice - US can forward to another Consolute??

[Luckyswife2b 0]

In my Approval Notice, it says that if we want them to, they can forward our case to another Consolate abroad as well!!

I am wondering if this is advised in my case? My fiance is a Nigerian citizen but living and working in Ghana...

He has a legal WORK PERMIT IN GHANA but does not have offical GHANA RESIDENCE... He has applied for Ghana Residence but has not heard back yet....

So my question is, although he lives and works and is settled in GHANA, should he ALSO have our case forwarded to Nigeria in addition???? Would this complicate things? Or could it get him to me sooner???

Anyone Know????

I don't think they send it to two different embassies, I think they give you the option to change embassies. So if he's heading back home, they would send it to Nigeria since he would no longer be in Ghana. If that's not the case, probably best to stay put with the Ghana embassy, in my opinion.

What embassy did you put in your petition? That is the embassy they will forward it to. They only send it to one place.

Is one embassy faster or more lenient or understanding than the other? Or are they both equal in approvals and denials?

Nigeria is harder than Ghana. I think Nigeria is considered a high fraud embassy so they go through more there.

Thanks for the info!!! I didn't realize that, but good point. That makes sense about Nigeria, although my fiance is NIGERIAN and Ghanaians do NOT like Nigerians... so that is a strike against us in Ghana.... I hope they will respect him for who he is and what he does rather than just judge him that he is Nigerian..... His mother was ghanaian... maybe if he tells them that, they might have some more respect and understanding......

Its not that Ghanaians do not like Nigerians, that is all I am going to say.

In terms of getting the visa, the fact that your fiance is Nigerian and living in Ghana has no merit whatsoever on his chances. The US embassy could care less about the personal grudges/like/dislikes etc. Heck, they give visas to people who have been in other countries illegally.

Don't worry about that.

Ummm....Ghana is considered a high fraud country as well. Well one thing's for sure, if you do go through Nigeria, your interview will be before April.
