I need to reschedule my immigrant visa interview at the Accra consulate - but no response from them.

[Bloggr22 0]

Hi,

I have an immigrant interview for the F2B category in early May 2016 at the US consulate in Accra, Ghana. I am currently abroad and outside of Ghana. When I received the appointment letter from the NVC, I immediately emailed IVaccra@state.gov to reschedule it. I will be recovering from a medical procedure and cannot attend the interview. I sent that email 3 weeks ago along with other emails to the same email address periodically. I have not heard from them neither did I even receive that automatic message that my emails were received. My appointment date is fast approaching and I cannot attend.

(1) Does anyone have any tips for me based on past dealings with the Ghana consulate?

(2) Apart from email, how can I effectively reach them?

(3) Also, is anyone aware of their rescheduling practices/processes for immigrant visas?

Thank you!

I suggest you should call them that will be better than to sit down and wait good luck

Unfortunately, they do not provide a customer service number. The number I have is a switchboard number. When you call, the person will just transfer you to an automated message or simply hang up on you. The other numbers listed on their website do not work (at least not for me). Do you or any one happen to have a properly working customer service phone number for the Accra consulate? Thank you.

Thanks for your reply, Jemal. Are you referring to this website http://ghana.usembassy.gov/ ? If so, I have called this number: +233 (0) 30 274 1000 that is listed on the website. When I call that number, the person either transfers me to an automated line or hangs up on me. I would greatly appreciate it if you can find the number you called for me. Thanks again!

Thank you very much, Jemal. Unfortunately, two of those numbers were not operative. The 703 number was operative, however, the person on the line referred me to an email address. I finally heard back from the Embassy via email about rescheduling and they are taking me through a long process to do the rescheduling. I hope I can convince them otherwise. I really wish the Embassy was more responsive and accessible through remote channels.

Thanks again and all the best.

You have to go to the  U.S. Embassy in Accra on any business Wednesday at 7:30 am to reschedule another appointment.  You will need to bring the original appointment letter and a letter explaining why the appointment will be missed. You should also bring a copy of your photo identification for entry into the Consular Section. If you are not in Ghana and cannot get there, you have to send this informtaion with a friend or family member.  The friend or family member must show ID to gain entry into the consular section. Be sure to seek a new date well before your interview date. You don't want to run into a scenario where they refuse to reschedule you.  Please let me know if you have additional questions. Good luck.
