Do not include money sent from US to Ghana /not a good idea to show the US citizen sent money

 

I'm not sure that I understand the logic of that. Isn't sending a means of supporting one's spouse?

If money is not sent, then how do you show that you support the spouse?

Well noted Thanks so much. But in my case we were both living in ghana, met my wife 6-months before I traveled to USA and have been together since 2009. So I also sent her money for driving school, prepared for our wedding, and we are under taking a project in ghana and she's overseeing it. So do you think we shouldn't include our money transfer records?. Because some folks are saying it's good to take money transfer records to your interview.

At this point, I don't think that you should be second guessing yourself.

 

If the majority of those who have already been approved state that money transfer helps the case, then why listen to someone who does not have any proof that money transfer will hurt the case?

My husband's visa was approved and I didn't submit a single piece of evidence showing money transfers. 

 

When I spoke with an attorney before submitting our case, she said for high fraud countries like Ghana she does not recommend people submit evidence showing the transfer of money. It can either imply that the foreigner is using the USC for money or in some case they are paying the USC to come here. 

 

I think you are okay to submit a few, but I would caution you about submitting a lot of money transfer receipts.

Ghana is a tough embassy, we need every proof. I think the money transfers establishes a paper trail proof and the embassy knows that families in Ghana rely on those abroad for support.

Thanks to everyone for your reply to my question 

[Fegyamfi85 3]

Thanks to everyone who commented on my post, my wife went for her interview today and visa approved. She said there was a young Ghanaian lady who took her documents, she was very rude. Spoke to her like she was the one paying for this process, she started by asking her to bring all her documents and asked her three questions; Have you been married b4?,how long have you been married?,have you traveled b4?. She tether asked her to go and sit down. About 1.5hrs she said she was called by a young white male, who was very polite, friendly and professional. He asked her to take the oat, and then interview started; How was your wedding? and What do you intend doing when you get to the states?. She answered and the guy said" I've looked through you documents, they are great, so I'm granting your visa. She thanked him and thus it. By the way we were denied in 2015 when I petitioned for k-1 visa, so I went to ghana in 2016, got married and petitioned CR-1.  Once again I want to thank you all for the pieces of advice given. The tell your spouses and fiancées to be confident and above all prayer is the key.

But I read many interview cases that money transfer evidence was also part of the proof. I think u can include it. Good luck.

Send the receipts of money sent from US to Ghana. That is a very good evidence to show that you the one in Ghana is not paying the petitioner to get you there. If it was money transfer from Ghana to US then it would have been bad idea as  they May feel you are paying the US citizen to take you there.

So is it good to send money transfer recept from USA to Ghana for interview or not.
