I'm sorry, I am a little confused here - you say you are the husband here in the US waiting for your wife's interview in Ghana? You already have her SSN? Whose citizenship are you talking about?

I have been watching the timelines and it is a VERY long wait in Ghana for an interview. Daily prayer and a ton of patience is what I am learning about now. (God grant me patience and do it NOW!) James & Wanda were waiting for a long time.... I think earlier this year during the Presidential elections in Jan/Feb, all cases were held up causing a huge backlong in Que.

Not sure why....

I'm so sorry for your wait, but this is what we have to deal with. The Accra Consulate is VERY backed up! I contacted every single person I could who I thought would help (Senators, Representatives, NVC supervisors, Accra Consulate, military friends, lawyers, etc.). There is nothing you can do at this point. I waited 30 weeks for an interview to be scheduled. It was excruciating. Again, I am so sorry for your wait, I know it's very hard. Just keep the faith and try to distract yourself.

07/15/08- Married in Accra, Ghana

08/14/08- I130 SENT!!!

08/19/08- Recieved

08/25/08- NOA1

Waiting......waiting......waiting!! :(

10/30/09- INTERVIEW NOTIFICATION!!!!!
