Congratulations!!!!!!!!    Wow.  We are so happy for you.  We filed on 11 September and were even jubilating when we saw your update.  God is good.

 

We are still waiting for packet 3 and our interview date in Accra.  Do you suggest scheduling the interview on your own?

Aww thank you!  Yes, so thankful that the interview went smoothly.  We took a risk by scheduling on our own - it worked out for us but another couple got turned away, even after allowing a similar amount of time to pass between NOA2 and the interview (a little over 3 months).  However, since they did schedule, the embassy told them they would see about expediting the case for them, so things may end up moving quickly for them anyway.  

 

The embassy wants you to wait, but the process has been very inconsistent.  We decided that it was worth the risk to just go and schedule, because you may see that some couples are having a hard time finding appointment availability.  If you do your DS160 and pay the fee, then at least you can go online and start looking at dates.  Then when you schedule, you can get the medical done, etc.  In my opinion, the only thing you stand to lose is the visa fee ($265) which they may make you pay again.  So I stand by our choice to schedule and just hope to get the packet 3 in time.  I hope that helps!

Yes, very helpful.  Thank you for your reply.

 

The waiting is so difficult, so we're seriously considering it.

 

May God bless you and Kofi.

We are here in Rio, anxiously awaiting our interview tomorrow morning.  We have checked and re-checked and verified the re-check that we have everything we need.  Then we checked it all again.  Prayers that everything will go smoothly tomorrow morning.
