Concerns about preparing for interview

[She0710 63]

I am the beneficiary and i received a case complete on 1/17/2018. I have a few concerns. I am from Ghana and my husband is a USC. I initially moved to the US back in 2005 my step father was filling for me, we were beneficiaries under my mother. Long story short it just never worked out, and they got divorced. When my mother went for her final interview she got denied. However we never received any emails or letter in the mail. I met my husband in college in 2009 but we never dated until 2015. We have been inseparable ever since until i stupidly decided to go to Ghana for a few weeks but left before i got an approved AP travel doc. (Now I’m stuck in Ghana) my husband who was my bf then came to visit 2 months later which was in November of 2016. His very first time in Africa and Ghana. He met my entire family and my father even took us all out to a resort at our home town. He then came again to visit in feb 2017 and this time he proposed and we got married at the registrar office in Ghana the day he was leaving. Prior to me leaving the US we had talked about marriage and all so this was something we knew e wanted to do. Anyway we started the immigration process the following month. He then came to visit for the 3rd time in July and again in December of 2017. We spent the holidays together and all. 

 

Okay my my main concern is there might be a few red flags in the sight of the CO however we are madly in love and want to be together. My husband has even tried to move to Ghana while waiting for this process but there hasn’t been any luck with him finding a job. 

I would like to know if it’s a bad thing to flood them with a lot of pictures and text messages. We talk and text all day everyday. This has been our life ever since we started dating. I took screenshots of text messages in just this past December and i have 107 pages worth of pictures from the screenshots. This is just in one month and it not even screenshots of our convos from the entire month just a selection of it. 

I want the CO to truly understand that this relationship is real but idk if it’s a bad thing to flood them with too much info. Also we have almost 1k worth of pics from since we met even as friends. Please any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Ghana is a very hard enbassy. I said give them every document u have to proof ur relationship.( Joint bank account etc...) Also get ready for questions abt u leaving the US without an approval. Make sure to have all the proves to fix that issue.

Again, Ghana is a very hard embassy. They will need more than just being friends for years, face time, text etcs. They really want to see hard core proofs. More trips, joint bank accounts, his name on ur life or health insurace, trips taken together or with family. 

 

My fiance is the second user on my Capital One credit card, we will also get a joint checking and saving account in ghana when i arrive there in April 2018. Hes also the benifciary on my life insurance ill also add him to my health insurance and 401K. So do get a joint bank account were u both are using so u can bank statments the more hard core proofs the better
