K1 visa approved in Accra

[jarta 24]

So I had my interview today and I was APPROVED!!!!!! But I will only be 100% happy when I get my visa. Anyway everything went well. Here is the detail –

I got to the embassy at about 6:30AM because my interview was at 7:30AM. At about 7, they started calling people to form lines. After getting into the embassy, you give will give your appointment letter to the receptionist. Later you will be called to submit ALL OF YOUR DOCUMENTS. I had 3 piles – affidavit of support, required documents from me (DS156, 156K, DS230, birth cert/with copy, police cert and letters of intent) and relationship evidence. I gave all of them to the lady (Ghanaian). But I had to go out and take new passport pictures because she said the ones I had were not the right size. So I paid for the visa - $240 and then left and took my new passport pictures.

At the Ghanaian lady's desk, i saw our I-129F application with an approved stamp on it. it had everything we submitted from the beginning. i think that approved stamp was from USCIS.

After returning with my new passport pictures and submitting to the Ghanaian lady, I was called like 10 minutes later to have my finger prints captured. And like 40min later, I was called for my interview. The whole thing lasted like 15mins or even more.

CO – did you pay in dollars or in the local equivalent?

CO – did you get a change and how much change did you get back?

CO – how did you meet?

CO – did you go to school together with my fiancee? (i went to college in the US)

CO – what I do?

CO - what does your fiancee do?

CO - has my fiancee visited me since I moved back home?

CO - if we traveled together. The pictures I submitted showed that we had traveled to a few countries together.

CO – have I ever overstayed a previous visa?

She would types on her computer for about 3mins before asking me the next question. This is weird because I didn't know what to do while she was typing. I just look around and fidget with my bag. Haha.

She gave me back my pictures and relationship evidence and kept my passport. I don’t think she looked through my relationship evidence. My relationship evidence was about 3 inches thick (and that was excluding the pictures album) and my whole bag weighed 13lb - crazy!!! The whole time she was interviewing me, she was going through our pictures.

Then she handed me a piece paper with pick up date of June 8th!!!!! Freaking 5 weeks away…but its all good..I will only be happy after I get my visa.

Also organize your documents very well.

Let me know if you guys have any questions.
