Interview in Accra

[MoonlitCherri 0]

My husband said the interview portion went well, but they wanted "more evidence". The man said he needed more text, email, mail, chat. I already provided my SO with over 100 pages of that! (Personally I think they like reading that stuff on their lunch breaks)

I called NVC and they told me, the only thing they should have asked for is my 2007 taxes, since I hadn't filed them by the time it had gone to NVC; and I told them I did send that to them. ?#@!

The Ghana consolate gave my husband another interview date in February.

I'm soooo furious!

Sorry to hear that things didn't go so well for your husband. I can't imagine how frustrated you both must be right now.

I hope the time can pass quickly for you until the next interview date in February.

Try to gather as much evidence in that time that you can to make sure everything goes well.

I am so sorry this happened to you.

I know exactly how you feel. We were also told to bring more evidence, despite our "overwhelming evidence" to a second interview.

The good news is that at the second interview they did not even look at our evidence. They just took my husband's passport and told him when to come back and get the visa.

Unfortunately you just need to wait it out now. Just know that you will get that visa.

What kind of evidence did you both bring to the first interview?

What I have is almost a year's worth of phone bills. We talk 2-3 times a day. Western Union receipts, Joint Bank Account records, boarding passes, Name change evidence. evidence of knowledge of marriage through name change, Life insurance policy through military. We also have the normal pictures. Pre,Wedding and post wedding pictures.

Is there anything else? We don't have much mail and email. No reliable internet access for my husband and the mail service sucks, they lose too much of what I sent him.

What kind of evidence did they ask for?

Evidence taken to the interview:

They said they needed more pictures from our previous meeting other than our wedding. We had only taken 2 pictures together--not knowing what the future would hold and this crazy process.

1. I couldn't get his name put on our bank account because he doesn't have a ss#. So I gave them my bank information, and a letter from the bank manager stating all of my accounts were in good standing, and we've had international transactions back and forth along with a number to call them if they needed more verfication.

2. I had my old and new sscard information and passport to show my name change.

3. Passport information showing the dates I traveled. Copies of tickets.

4. Calling card transactions through pingo and comfi.com

5. Text messages, emails, chat logs, copied prints of mail.

6. 2007 tax forms. Copies of paystubs, proof of employment.

7. My parents even wrote a letter stating that they blessed our marriage and were there to witness. They rejected the letter.

I called NVC to ask what else they needed and they told me all they should've asked for was 2007 taxes. Go figure, they already have that.

My best guess is that my SO hadn't completed his medical shots, and they probable don't want him to leave until then. Otherwise everything else is a go.

I have to say that the fact that he has a second interview is a good thing compared to being in Admin processing. I can totally understand your initial dissapointment. You seem so close, then so far.

Sorry for your dissapointment.

best regards,
