Thank you very much for responding.  The NVC said the file has been at the US Embassy in Ghana since July 13th and we still have not heard.  Will we hear by email or mail?

The embassy received our information from the NVC on March 23rd, 2017 and we still never got anything from them. We waited over two months before we just went ahead and did the medical, police report, ds160, etc on our own and scheduled our interview. Many people never received anything from the embassy nd did it this way and was approved. I even emailed them and they told me they would mail the information to my fiancé in Ghana. He never got anything. It has happened a lot to others in this forum for those in Ghana. If they have your information and you are wanting your interview sooner than later, I highly suggest doing everything on your own and scheduling the appointment. The letter they send you just states what you need to do to schedule your appointment aka medical, police report, ds160, fee at gt bank. Nothing special about the letter.

You can get the police report no problem. It is valid for 6 months and I do believe that you need to get one from SA too. But, I am not 100% sure about that.   For the medical you will need

Call the NVC to get your case number.   I called daily.  Once you have your case number, track it on the CEAC status checker.  Once it says "ready for interview" you can schedule your interview after

She lives in Accra, Ghana.  Got the WAC receipt Dec. 20th, 2016.

Wow. You have been waiting that long?!?!? That is HORRIBLE!!! :(

 

What you need to do is pay the visa fee $265 US (double check to make sure that amount hasn't changed) at GT Bank and they will give you a receipt. Then go online and fill out the DS160. You will need your receipt number from GT Bank. Once you have the DS160 filled out go online and schedule your interview with the embassy. You will need the DS160 number they give you at the end of the application. You will need to print out your confirmation page of your scheduled appointment to take to your medical to get that done. It takes a few weeks to get the medical back so make sure you schedule your appointment out far enough to allow time for that. Also, make sure you go get your police report. If you have any questions please feel free to inbox me and I will be more than happy to help!!!

She lives in Accra, Ghana.  Got the WAC receipt Dec. 20th, 2016.  I live in Iowa.  Keith

 

-So far we started this in Dec 2016.  Got the Receipt number on Dec 20th.

-May 22nd was approved to go to US Embassy in Ghana

-Called the NVC in July and they said they received July 13th in Ghana.

-Completed the DS-160 Form today 7-26-17.  Never asked me about the fees on this form.

- Now I need to pay the fees

Asking you these questions:

? Medical Report - What page do I need to take to do the medical report.

We have the police report already!

? Do we do the medical and after that make the appt for the interview?

 

My email is kpoolman3@gmail.com if that would be easier.

You have to prove that you have an appointment at the embassy for an interview to get your medical done. So, make your appointment first. But, make it out a few weeks to allow enough time to get your medical back (It can take up to 4 weeks). Print out the page that confirms your appointment after you make your appointment to take to the medical place. You have to have the sealed report with you when you go to the interview or they can deny your visa for that.

You have been so helpful thank you!  One more question???

 

When should the fees be paid.  Do they need to be paid before scheduling the appointment.

You are welcome! :)

 

You have to pay the fee at GT Bank first or you cannot make an appointment or fill out the DS160 form. You pay the medical fees on the day you go for the exam.
