First Giving Honor to God. Our visa was approved.

1. For Ghana interviews let me just say Petitioner go to the appontment, it helps.

2. Get tax transcripts fort he current year. They only except tax transcripts.

3. Be prepared. Gaither every document you can get and present them neat and organized.

4. Take your patients, it took us from 7:30am till 2:30pm to finish this interview. That said everything was straight forward and to the point.

I thank God I stumbled on to this website. The information here can not be beat. This site helped us to be very prepared and present our documents in the best possible way. Thanks everyone who has helped with our success.

Congratulations! What a happy day! :dancing: That must be so nice to have your spouse with you. Is it they allowed the petitioner to be at your side during the interview, or in the waiting area in the building?

I know this is for IR-1/CR-1 but in my case I'm a K-1. so petitioners are now allowed to accompany the beneficiary to the interview? :unsure: Or is it just for the IR-1 cases and not the K-1's?

How did you sneak your partner into the interview room? tnx

You don't have to sneak the petitioner in. Lol. There are two entrances into the embassy - one for non-citizens and the other for US citizens. The petitioner, if a US citizen, will just go thru the entrance for US citizens and meet the beneficiary inside the waiting room (there's only one waiting room at the embassy). US citizens can just walk into the embassy anytime they want. The person doesn't have to make any appointment. Only his/her US passport is required cuz the security guard at that entrance will check it. That's all.

-------- My friend went to Ghana for his wife's interview and this is what he told me. Even though I was in Accra for Christmas & New Year, I will go back to attend my wife's interview with her. If the officer chooses not to interview me, at least my wife will have the emotional support she needs. :)
