I think I read one of the posts from someone from Ghana that went to the interview. You might want to look at your country specific forum for guidance. I myself , am planning to be at my fiance's interview because for 1, he is Nigerian, and 2 he is in Senegal. I dont know if you know it or not, but Nigeria and Ghana are considered "fraud" countries. Good luck to you.

Aaron's interview is going to be in Nairobi, which is a moderate-fraud embassy, and I plan to be there and think that it has the potential to make a difference. The sub-Saharan Africa forum will have more specifics about Ghana, but in Nairobi at least, the petitioner is not allowed into the interview area. Nonetheless, it should be fairly obvious to the CO that I am in town, as we will have new recent photos taken in Nairobi and he can of course tell the CO when asked when he last saw me.

Unless her presence is required, I wouldnt even bother having her travel all the way to come to Ghana.I have read some reviews where the US citizen has been present in the embassy but not part of the interview.There is also a recent review where a both beneficiary and petitioner were there and although the petitioner was not invited to the interview, the consular interviwed the petitioner.

She is not required to be there and her Check the reviews to see the various experiences and her presence does not mean they will issue the visa.Issuance of the visa depends solely on whether they believe your evidence or not.

I wouldnt worry if I were you.You have a real relationship and you have enough evidence.Just focus on getting all the requested documents and you wil be fine.
