How to get Packet 3 and 4

[Mdlove 0]

For those who dealt with the US embassy in Accra, how did you or you beneficiary get packet 3 and 4? Did you pick it up from the embassy, or did they mail it. For those who picked it up from the embassy how did you know it was ready to be picked up? Any advise will be appreciated.

Your fiance will have to pick up the packet from the embassy. Normally your fiance will receive a letter in the mail telling them when they can pick up the packet. If your petition has been forwarded to the embassy and you have not heard from them you can try emailing them and they will email you the letter for your fiance to pick up the packet.

Hi, I see your petition was approved on 6/30/11, Congrats. Once your petition has been approved it will go to the NVC, and NVC will send you a letter with a case number on it. The case number will usually start with ACC followed by some numbers, and in a lot of cases the letter will tell you that your case has been forwared to the embassy in Ghana, that won't be true at all. You need to call the NVC and find out the status of your case at least once a week. When the NVC does inform you that your case has been forwared to the embassy, then you need to send the embassy an email explaning to them that you are the petitioner of a recently approved fiance petition. You want to state in your email that you would like to receive a formal letter emailed to you, so you could inform the benifiting person when he or she could go to the embassy to pick-up package 3&4. This may take some time, but it should be before July 30th.
