August 01, 2011 (First Interview)

My first interview was on August 01, 2011 at 7:30am. I woke up at 1:00am for my midnight prayers and couldn't go back to sleep cos I was kind of nervous though its not my first time of going to the US Embassy for visa interview. Previously I have been there about 6-times for a visit visa without any success but this was my first for immigrant visa interview. By 6:00am I hit the road to the embassy and there was a long traffic so I got to the embassy around 6:45am. I then join the cube and by 7:15am I got inside. The security guy took my appointment letter and send it to window no. 3. After couple of mins I was called to window no. 3 and upon getting there, there was a friendly Ghanaian lady, we greeted with smile then she asked me if I was ready for the interview cos my case expedited due to my wife sickness and I said YES. Then she ask me bring all evidence I have with me. Frankly speaking with the help of God I have a wonderful documentation. I had over 200pages of yahoo chat since 2007, over 60pages of my wife's emails, over 50pages of my wife's phone records, our hotel reservation & receipt in South Africa, about 150 pictures (both Ghana & South Africa), snail mails from my wife, my medical records, new police report and birth certificate, passport pictures, weeding invitation and calender. After submitting those documents she ask me to go and sit down and I will be call again. In about couple mins I was at window no. 2 to took my fingerprint. In about close to one hour I was called to window no. 5. That was the consular, she was white American who in about early or mid thirty's. We greeted nice and then she started asking the following questions.

1. What is the relationship between you and the petitioner?

2. How old are you and she?

3. Who introduce you to her?
