Mailing address vs. street address for Ghana

Hi,

I am relatively new to VJ, but have been learning a lot from reading the boards. My K-1 petition has been approved and was forwarded to the embassy in Ghana earlier this month. In Ghana I understand that they will send a letter to my fiance telling him when to pick up his packet from the embassy. But, the address on the petition is my fiance's street address, not his post office box address, and I don't think the post office will forward mail to his street address.

What should I do? I didn't think of this until after the petition had been approved and sent on. Does anyone have experience with the Ghana embassy and know how they will send the letter? My fiance says that if they send it DHL it will arrive at his street address, but I am doubting the embassy would go to that much trouble. I did email the embassy on the 7th, asking them about it, but have not heard anything from them two weeks later. I'm really afraid that we are going to end up stuck in the Ghana postal service forever.

My fiance lives in the Northern Region, very far from Accra.

Any help or information is really appreciated!

Thanks,

Jennifer
