ghana consulate is incompetent

Political Rant?? Go back and READ some of the comments!

"They have no respect for Ghanaians and they can treat them anyway they like"

or

"That embassy was built with funds derived from the sweat and toil of Ghanians, no federal funds went to building that embassy"

Hmmm, and WHOM is making a political rant?? There were also a few comments denigrating US Dept of State personnel, and how poorly the US Government treats the Ghanian people.

I am a US Federal Employee and have worked extensively with the Department of State. They are extremely professional and hard working. Yes, there is the occasional rude employee, but that happens in all walks of life and does not represent the vast majority of DoS personnel. As far as "caring" - US Embassies and their personnel are actively involved in many countries (including Ghana) promoting health, education, welfare issues to improve the lives of the people of the host nation. Additionally, the US Government provides MILLIONS of Dollars in direct aid to Ghana and other neighboring countries.

Yes, I do have an interest when people bad mouth my federal co-workers who are not here to defend themselves. If you want to provide immigration advice, fine, but don't throw out unsubstantiated insults and make false and inflammatory statements about the US Dept of State and the US government. If one wants to RECEIVE respect one should begin by SHOWING respect.

You may be missing the point here.My beef is with how people at the Consular section of the US embassy treat Ghanians when they go in to apply for visas.Have you ever been there to apply for a visa, or do you know anyone who has been there?MY mother has applied for a visa there and I know several people who have applied for visas there.Over 80% of the experiences have been negative.I have also read reviews on this portal from people who have actually been there.The respect thing is true.The way people are treated at the Ghana consulate is not the same way people are treated here in the US.Take some time and read some of the reviews here and you will know what I mean.

You have not worked at the Ghana Consulate and you have not applied for a visa there so how would you know whether people are respected when they go through that process or not?Just because you worked at the State Department doesnt mean you know what goes on at the US embassy in Ghana.You make it sound as if every federal office or every federal employeeare the same.I can assure you that they are not. Look at these reviews of the US consulate in Ghana and see if you revise your opinion on whther there is respect for Ghanaians who apply for visas there.I am not saying every experience at the US embassy is a bad one but there are too many unpleasant ones.
