Praise be to the most high God..i went for my interview today at the Accra embassy and was approved...this was my second interview... God is good. Its been a very though journey but we made it....my advice to those who have been scheduled to come again with new evidence... Never print or add new photos to the ones u already submitted... Tell your story and don't be rigid giving robotic answers...most of all, pray pray pray and pray to the almighty God.

congratulations!!

Are you saying that no "new evidence" even if the petitioner has made new visits , new calls, new texts?

Did something happen for you to come to this conclusion?

Please submit a review...

Congrats once again!!

@ice_man and ice lady, what I mean is that don't try to update the pictures...for me, the consular was very specific about this..I'm sure u can include new chats and Skype but with the pics, updating it will make it look like you're anxious..don't know if I'm making sense

@lutz, no,I had first interview on the 16 of august and consular said I had to return back today with recent tax documents and chat records from 2014-2015 cos that's when we started talking... When I got there today, I had the same guy and he asked what new evidence I came with, after going through it, the magical words came,"you're approved for this visa"

Congratulations on your approval !

I am concerned you gave the advice to never print or add new photos to the ones already submitted.

Even though in your case the CO seemed to indicate he does not want new ones (you did not clarify exactly how he worded it

and why) every case is different and it is suggested that when going for another trip during the interview to take new photos.

@ebonulowa,yes that's very right, in my case since there was no second visit by my fiancee, adding up new pictures to the ones I already submitted would have been dangerous..but if there's a second interview and a second visit, yes, I don't see the reason why u should not add more pics provided there was a second visit..hope I make sense
