Packet #3 Mailed in Ghana

[kalusha 21]

Hello VJ family,

My fiance in Ghana has been waiting for her packet #3 for 3 weeks 2 days now and still nothing in the mail. I called state department and they checked their system and said that the mail was sent from the consulate in Ghana on the 2nd of May. Has anyone gone through this consulate in Ghana experience this before? What should i do? I sent an email to NIVACCRA@state.gov to request status and to see if we could pick it up and still no reply. Is there a particular carrier they use in Ghana so it can be checked? Any suggestions anyone? I am so mad seeing that the approval NOA2 has a deadline on it.

Thanks for this wonderful information. But how will my fiance obtain an email like this if she has not yet received anything of this sort to take to the consulate section? Also which letter will the applicant drop off in the morning and to return in the afternoon? I am sorry but it all seem confusing to me, Please elaborate a little more if you don't mind. thanks

RE: ACCXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Mr. Appiah,

Thank you for your email inquiry.

We wish to inform you that we do not discuss details of a case via email, mail or telephone. Only Consular Officers do at the time of the applicant’s interview. If there are any questions to be raised the applicant should bring it up at the next follow up interview.

We hope this information is helpful to you.

Note: You should never pay for travel arrangements (e.g., airfare, hotels) without having a visa in your possession. The U.S. Embassy accepts no responsibility if you do so. We are unable to guarantee the issuance of a U.S. visa before a fixed travel date. You risk significant financial losses if you ignore this advice.
