Hmm, if you case was completed in April, technically its been over two months, and it should not take them that long to schedule an interview. Definately if they are slow, the interview could be scheduled for hypothetically December, but can't take so long to schedule an interview.

Try calling NVC and talk to a supervisor, also call the embassy and ask whats taking so long!

Thanks for your reply, yes my case was completed at NVC April 22 -09, spoke with them again today and they said, the ghana embassy is very busy, not a lot of interviews were given out last month. she told me to call back by the end of next week, hopefully i will get a date then. ive followed other Ghana VJ members and it seems to be the norm, looks like it takes around 2 months to receive an interview date after NVC completes your case. i will ask for a supervisor the next time i call. thanks a lot for your reply and advice.

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through, at the same time a bit encouraged that I'm not the only one! My husband is in Ghana and our case was completed with the NVC on April 3, 2009. Still no interview. I have called the NVC countless times and this is what I know- they cannot or will not give an estimate of how long you are expected to wait to get an interivew. Accra is a packed embassy. Interviews are scheduled the second week of each month for the following month, usually toward the endo of the week (meaning calling on that Monday gets you nothing). :( So we definitely do not have interviews until August or later. :'( This was our 3rd try, I'm hoping next month we get one...we're going to be 6,000 miles apart on our first anniversary. I hope this information helps...if you hear anything else or anything new, please share! Good luck!
