Hello fellow vj members,my fiance lives in Virginia and we met about 8 months ago. She wants to send me an invite to enable me come visit her. My worry is that haven read posts on here concerning the visitors visa,my chances of getting the visa are slim and I'll appreciate views from members as to whether to allow her go ahead or stop her from sending the invite.Thank you

Ghana is very hard to get a visitor visa. My brother-in-law works for the National Ghana Government and was unable to secure a visa to the USA with an invite to our wedding last year. He is going to try again for a visit.

You have to be able to show the financial ability to pay, ties to Ghana (school, work, family, lease, etc), something showing you will return and not overstay the visa or not return all together.

You certainly can try but its a lot easier for a USA citizen to visit Ghana then the other way.

However people do get them, its just not easy. Up to you if you want to spend the money for the interview. You don't know unless you try.

You have a better chance of winning the DV lottery. You may be the one in 100 , but unless you own property, have a long term professional job and a wife and kids to return to there isn't much hope for a visitors visa.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

If you guys are thinking of getting married in the nearest future then I will suggest you guys start K-1 visa instead of you visiting ,because it will be really difficult to get the Visitors Visa.

Met through a friend on Facebook

Visited Accra on June 26, 2011 ( For two weeks)

Sept 14, 2011 Mailed the petition express

Sept 16, 2011.................................... NOA 1

Feb 01,2012...................................... NOA 2

It doesn't sound like they have met, so one would have to travel at some point for the 2 year requirement.
