My wife's reaffirmed interview was 10/30/2017.  She was approved but the officer didnt issue the visa because he wasnt satisfied with the financial documents.  He wanted a letter from the IRS confirming that i dont have to pay taxes and to drop everything at dhl when we have them.   I didnt get the letter because i knew it would take forever so I just printed the irs publication that applied to my situation and highlighted them.  i quickly got everything together and mailed it on 10/31 and it got to ghana on 10/4.   She took it to dhl and was issued on 11/09.   We were a little worried cause it took a while for the status to change but we thank God that it is over.   Its been a long journey. 

Congratulations!!!  A know it's a time of relief for you guys.  When were you guys reaffirmed, if you don't mind me asking?

Oh yes I keep and make copies of everything. I have a large envelope ready to mail off of more photo's of us with his family, and letters from friends and family, supporting us. 

Also, please make sure you have information that shows joint accounts (bank, insurance, beneficiary, property, etc.).  They like to see that type of paperwork to show financial ties.

Those of you who were reaffirmed and get their visa approved, how many months before your visa expire?

4 months, but my husband arrived Friday .

Please when did you do your medicals? Does the duration of the medical has something to do with how long the visa will expire?

6 months. Not sure what the number of months you get is based on, but i know its different, its not the same for all. It may depend on the state you live in, not sure.

That is absolutely wonderful! So glad to hear you all are on your way to being together. Although it seemed to have taken then a very long time to get it issued. Usually only takes a few days for it to show issued. You should check at the DHL and verify if they have it already or not. Hopefully it just took them a while to change the status, but they may have processed it. Worth a try anyway :-)

She went to the interview on the 1st, she didn't have her medicals so she was asked to submit the medicals to DHL with her passport. She submitted it on the 8th. That's why it took a long time to be issued.
