It's a very common question and the answer should be the truth

Yes, it likely that question could be asked at the interview. No one can tell you how to answer the question since it's a personal question. It very simple, your answer is how you and your fiancé got engaged.

Yeah I'm well aware it is a personal question. I have just come across scenarios when people stated how they're engaged and consular determined that to already be considered marriage in our Ghanaian culture; hence my concern.

Personally, i proposed to her at our anniversary dinner, but due to Ghana tradition, we are not considered engaged until an actual engagement ceremony has taken place.

Your answer of purposing at dinner is perfect. I know Ghana culture emphasizes the engagement party, but these consulate will immediately deny couples for it. It's sad since I know it's such an important part of the culture. Your answer will be just fine.

Not be rude but you should not want to know the answer someone give to factor yours in it. Just say it as it is. And there is nothing like Ghanaian way of getting engaged. You you want to go traditionally the way Ghanaians engage then you cant convince the embassy. Because the typical Ghanaian engagement needs both families and a lot of activities are performed. They know is not possible to go by the strict way of Ghanaian tradition wen the lady is from another country.

remember that the embassy is the US embassy in Ghana , not the Ghana embassy in Ghana if that makes sense , keeping this mindset is crucial so that you don't do any actions that the embassy would make as already married
