Hello thanks for your help a lot. I need a clarification on this.i wanted to know if you submit your ds forms late and your case number becomes current. Will you get an interview within the month it was current or you will have to wait

No, you will have to wait. Interviews are only scheduled if your forms have been both submitted and processed. It can take around 2 months to process, occasionally longer. Also note that interviews are scheduled 6-8 weeks in advance. So the earliest you can expect an interview after submitting a DS, assuming your number is already current, is usually 3-4 months later.

At the faster end of processing then... great!

it shouldn’t be a problem as long as it’s reasonably clear that it is in fact your education certificate. Mistakes are fairly common in these from some countries, as long as it’s obviously yours and your actual identification documents (birth certificate, passport) are correct you should be fine. Good luck for the interview!

I have a friend who got denied by the CO in Accra today saying she doesn’t have the educational qualification. She says her bad grade was only a D. Can she go for a second interview or what can she do about it? Thanks

I’m no expert in the Ghanaian system but from what I have read on other forums, a D in an important /core subject can lead to rejection as it disqualifies the applicant from being able to attend university (which is the benchmark they use for the criterion of high school being comparable to a completed US high school degree). See also https://gh.usembassy.gov/education-culture/educationusa-center/educational-system-ghana/ where they have a table of the grades, where D7 and E8, although passing grades on WASSCE, are not acceptable for tertiary education. Again, I’m not an expert so my reading may not be exact/don’t take this as absolute fact.

 

There is officially no appeal process for consular processing of DV. She can attempt to contact the embassy if she can somehow prove that she does meet it but to be honest I’d be surprised if she has any success doing that. Accra processes thousands of DV entries a year and I would expect the COs are very well aware of which education qualifies. Unfortunately your friend’s story is not that unusual, applicants finding out that although they have completed high school it doesn’t meet the DV requirements. I’m sorry for your friend.

Base on this forum. Then am a bit confused because I also had d7& e8 in three subject including maths and science.. I wrote novdec on maths and science n I had c6 & b2. Which I was able to use to pursue my diploma. Can this lead to a disqualification since I didn't write the order subject I have d7.
