07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

After your DNA says is a match 99.9% how long did it took the embassy to call you for your visa or what is happening with your case now if you are still waiting?

I took my DNA test on 18th May 2017, Embassy got back the result on the 29th May 2017, the DNA is a match meaning am the biological father of my child.

I will be very glad if you can share your story with me hoping to hear from you soon..

Hi TBone TX kindly help move this topic to the Sub-Saharan Africa for discussions because most people are undergoing the DNA process but can't find any topics on visajourney. 

DNA GENERAL DISCUSSION SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA- Especially Ghanaian on this platform share your experiences regarding DNA, what happens after the DNA arrives at the embassy being a match. My DNA result got to the embassy on the 29 May 2017 still i haven't heard from the embassy, please share your experience fellow Ghanaian.....
