Here are the details of this second time around.

His interview was at 1pm. He got to the embassy at 12:45, sat for an hour and 15 minutes and was called to the first window. He said it was a fellow Ghanaian who must have been having a bad day or something because he was very rude. He took the letters that Inusah had brought and then told him to sit back down.

He waited for another hour and was called to another window. It was the same CO who interviewed him at the first interview.

CO: Good afternoon

Inusah: Good afternoon. How are you today.

CO: Very well thank you. Do you have your passport?

Inusah: Yes

CO: Can I have it?

Inusah: Sure

CO: I have spent the past 30 minutes going over the letters you have brought. I am certain that your relaitonship is a true and stable relationship that has been going on for some time. Congratulations.

CO gives Inusah blue slip for visa pick up on Friday.

CO: Welcome to America

And that was it!!!
