Ghana embassy

[Akwaaba02 7]

Hello all! Hoping someone can help us. So the NVC sent over our documents back in Feb. Received a letter on March 30, stating that they officially mailed it off. Have not heard anything from the embassy. We decided to file the DS-160 in hopes that we hear something. In the mean time our case that the NVC sent us says that it will expire on June 9. Do that mean that we are supposed to have the interview and etc... Done before then and if not we have to start over again? When I called the NVC moments ago he said to contact the Ghana embassy because they have all authority over the case now. But I know with the short time and they prefer email, I am afraid that we may not make it.

We never received our letter from the embassy in Ghana either. Through the posts here on VJ I found out that we could schedule or interview and everything without the letter from them. Our approval expires next month too. I would try emailing them and asking if that will be a problem. I emailed them and they responded the next morning.

 

If you filed your DS-160 then just go to GT Bank and pay the $265 visa fee. They will give you a receipt. You can use that receipt number and your confirmation code from submitting your DS-160 to schedule your interview online. That's what we did. You will also need to gather your police report and medical before you have your interview and will need your interview confirmation date for the medical. Hope this helps! Goodluck!

You know what we did that and he was able to schedule his interview. Thank goodness. So he will make his appointment for medical also. This stuff is so confusing. Thanks for the advice. My son and I plan on coming out there at the end of June for a month. We are so excited. We just said forget it if they deny us then at least we will be there and we will just get married there and file for cr1. But I want to have a clear conscience until then.

I have another question. So is there supposed to be a form that he has to fill out of someone representing him? I feel like there is so much that I am missing. Did you ever receive any of the packets?

And wishing you guys well also.

I think that is not for K-1 visa's. That's if you are applying for your spouse. We did nothing like that. It is a lot to take in I know! No, we never got our packet from the Ghana embassy. His interview is on June 6th. I have triple checked everything and used all our resources on VJ. So hopefully, all will go well and he will be approved!

Oh my goodness..... So happy for you. I will be checking. Thank you. If there's anything that you can think of to further my knowledge I am all ears. I was seeing about ds260???? I just want to make sure that all forms are filled.

Ghanaian beneficiaries on this platform please comment. After DNA confirms it's a match, how long does it take the embassy to call? I know there are so many Ghanaian's who undergone the DNA test at the US embassy in Ghana.Please can you share your experience with some of us on here. Thank you...

[Akwaaba02 7]

I don't know anything about the DNA sorry.

 I'm so happy you both were approved! Congratulations!!!

 

I hope it isn't too much trouble to ask, but, where did you make your appointment online for your interview? My fiancé has filled out his DS-160, and we want to make sure that he can schedule an interview as soon as possible.

 

Any information you may have is greatly appreciated.

Well he filled out the form there. So I don't know exactly..... He did say that he had to keep searching through because it was a lot.

Oh ok, I understand.

 

Do you know he if waited for a letter from the embassy, or if he just set the appointment online?

 

(Sorry for so many questions sis)
