Good Morning,

I am currently waiting on an CR1 interview to be scheduled at the Ghanaian Embassy. For some reason they have been extremely delayed in processing visas as well as assigning appointments. I wanted to know if anyone has actually signed up for an appointment at the USTRAVELDOCS.COM website and successfully got an interview?

A case ending in July 7th seems very recent if you ask me. Some have been waiting since May and June. It's usually 6 weeks then you call NVC to find out why it hasn't been scheduled. I would just wait it out and see, nothing can be done outside of that. It's a waiting game from here on. Good luck.

Hello,

My husband's case was completed on 17 June 2015, and we still have not heard anything about the interview date. so as the prior poster commented, July 7th is pretty recent.

It's so frustrating to have to wait, but wait is what we have to do! I've call the NVC two times about this and all they say is to wait, we're in line.

Good luck, and keep the faith.
