They have to tell you if they send it back. Is your lawyer a visa lawyer specialist ?  I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I would hope he can advise you what to do this is most alarming, I'm older than my husband also but if it was a man petitioning for a woman they have no problem!

Ok, If your case is a reaffirmed case then yes we are all waiting for a second interview dates. According to the NVC reaffirmation letter I received, it says our case was sent to Accra Ghana US Embassy since December 29, 2016, but we have not heard anything from Ghana up to date. Is that normal ?

You will receive a letter known as ( CALL IN LETTER ) the applicant will then go to the embassy with that letter and get an appointment for reaffirmed cases. It takes time to get the letter maybe 2 - 3 months. Our case was reaffirmed in July 2016 we got the call in letter in October i went to the embassy on the 26 October and got an appointment 16 January 2017,  is very slow at the embassy i will advise everyone to be proactive on their cases keep calling and emailing them....

jefraylee I didn't know about this (CALL IN LETTER) thing, according to the NVC reaffirmation notice I received in January, my case was sent to Ghana on December 29, 2016. that means I should expect the Call In Letter by the end of this month? It's really slow then. But why are they saying they don't have the case in their system?

Because, as I said before, there is a queue for the reaffirmed cases and it takes several months to enter them

into the system. Once they are in the system they will see it on the screen, otherwise if it is not entered yet they will

see it as not being there. Ghana is so non transparent in their process and instead of informing you they ignore.
It is a mix of CO's gone rogue, not enough people hired to do the work and bad leadership/training/management.
You can count about 6 months at least from NVC mailing it until the second interview.

So this has not been returned to the Uscis at all? I think they do not do any type of research just read the screen of computer and tell you what's there . They possibly were reading the return  from original time.

Well the letter will be sent to the petitioner not the applicant, Because my letter has my wife address as ( Care Of ) This is why the process is slower , because the applicant is in Ghana why wont you just send the CALL IN LETTER to the applicant here in Ghana rather than sending it back to the USA? The competence of the embassy is questionable.....After my interview since January am still waiting the medicals is valid for 6 months and will soon expire so if the visa will be approve one has to go and pay for another medicals fees costing almost 450$

Jenilyn and Awal , we are talking about those whose cases has been reaffirmed by the USCIS after it came back from the Embassy in Accra after first interview denial. some of us has already passed through all what you are talking about. We are at the reaffirmation stage ,waiting for the 2nd interview. So this thread is about CR-1 REAFFIRMED CASES IN GHANA
