K-1 Ghana Approved!

[Wallhut 34]

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

 

I just wanted everyone to know my fiance had his interview today at the U.S. Embassy in Accra, Ghana, and by the grace of God he was approved! Soon he will come to America for us to be married!

 

I must thank the U.S. Embassy in Ghana for their kindness to him and their approval, and also all the great people on Visajourney who helped me navigate this process smoothly. If not for the generosity of those on here and those who make videos like the ones on YouTube I'm not sure we would have been able to be successful.

 

I wish all of you awaiting your loved one's approval the best of luck and encourage you to stay vigilant and positive that your day will arrive too. I first mailed off my I-294 application on 06-15-2017, so from mailing to approval it's been about 11 months.

 

I am here to help in any way I can as always.

My understanding is the Priority Date is the date when the USCIS first received your application. When creating your account on ustraveldocs.com to set up your interview you should select Immigrant. You will receive an email with the confirmation number after completing DS-160 online at the ceac.state.gov website. You must complete the DS-160 (which is the true application for visa, rather than the I-294) before scheduling your appointment.

 

I hope this helps, and good luck!

Hi Wallace, I hope all is well! I wanted to ask how things were going for you guys.  How long did it take for Jeff to get the visa, after approval? Has he entered the US yet? 

 

Best wishes,

Abena,

 

I hope you are doing well in life. I pray your visa journey will soon be finished as ours is now.

 

My fiance picked up his visa five weeks after the interview, but not because that was when he was notified it was ready. Like so many others there was no notice the visa was at DHL, neither from the embassy nor DHL. They said it would be two weeks, and on the third week he went to DHL but they said it was not there, so we decided we should wait until we were notified it was ready, but that never occurred. Finally another member on this website said her fiance tried and tried to contact the embassy but never got through, and also called DHL but they said it was not there. He finally went to DHL in person and his visa was there waiting. Another friend of mine I met on here whose husband is already here said her fiance was never notified his visa was ready for pick up either and that he just went to DHL and it was there. So my finace decided to try again last week and this time when he went the visa was there. So once you are approved do not expect to be told the visa is ready. Wait three weeks and if you have not heard anything then physically go the DHL office to check. Sadly, that is the only way to know for sure.

 

My fiance just left today to visit his mother in Togo before coming to America. He will return to Accra in a few days, pack and them come here. I am very excited.

 

Please take care.

Wow! All in all I’m glad you got it sorted out, but sorry to hear of the delay. Thank you for that information, we will definitely check. It’s not easy since Kofi lives in Kumasi but we will find a way to keep checking. 

 

You are almost there! Yes thank God we received the packet 3, so just getting ready for the interview now. I’m hoping to time a trip to Ghana so that we can come back to the US together, but the approval is the most important thing right now. 

 

Thanks again for for your continued feedback and safe travels to Jeff 😊
