I'm confused

[mane 1]

I was refused a visa under section 212(a)(4) for been a public charge. Now my wife income has increased and about the poverty guideline. Now the I have been refused, I want to know; 

1. Do I start a new application?

2. If I have to continue where to I start it from?

3. Does my wife has to contact the uscis or the Ghana embassy?

4. Does it matter how many times my wife has to come to Ghana to have a positive effect on my visa? Because she has been to Ghana once.

1. you do not need to start a new application

2. you can continue just get a joint/co sponsor

3. once you have the information on joint./co sponsor upload it to ceac and contact the embassy, they should have given you instructions on what to do

4.being a public charge has nothing to do with the amount of time you wife has been there.

 

just get a joint/co sponsor upload the documents and sent email to embassy attaching the documents as well.

Wouldn't my petition be Red flag for calling the embassy? Because now my wife can be my sponsor. The embassy here in Ghana does not even tell you anything after refusal.

I think your wife needs to contact the consulate for clarification and instructions.  If they didn't give you instructions, then they might have sent the case back........it is important that you and your wife know the current status........even if your wife's income is now above the lower limit, the consulate officer still has discretion to require a joint sponsor.

thank you mile, I'm trying to get my wife understand she has to take the task in calling the consulate to verify from them what she has to do and it's frustrating her because she thinks I have to do that. So I did ask her to call the uscis to ask for resin of refusal of my visa and what step she has to do to it reinstate.

my uncle was the co sponsor in the first petition but they did not accept it, I heared you can not use your relative to sponsor you as per the recent laws. How true? 

And can I use him again because he's got a good income

Not true

So this is your 2nd petition?  Why was the first one denied?  I just read your other post from last year--is this the same petition?  Looks like you will need two things to be successful:

 

1.  a new co-sponsor (not your uncle as that was rejected), and your wife's recent increase in income probably won't be enough to satisfy the CO

2.  more time spent with your wife.  One visit in seven years married is not going to be enough to get a spousal visa from Ghana

Carmel, thanks for contributing. But I have not started with the second petition yet.

first of all, during the interview after producing the documents that I had the counselor asked me if I had any more photos of me and my wife aside the one we took during the marriage?  I didn't have many of other event photos because my will carried the camera and phone with all the pictures. Eventually her phone which had most of the pictures messed up so no trace of our pictures. 

The he asked me for screen shots and I didn't have screen shots of our conversation at the time.

so now I really don't know if my wife has to come back to Ghana so we can have photos. Then after I think she can be the sponsor be caused now her income increased.

Is it wise she travel back to Ghana again?

Or let her proceed with the petition and support her with screen shots and chats we've had over the year after I was denied?

Assuming you do have an intent to work on current petition (as the visa application has not been denied yet - just temporary refused),  you just need to do what they asked you for: update the financial docs and submit them.  If they had need other things (like pictures or chat logs), they would have asked to include with the request.

You May have a  chance to rebuttal the denial . Ghana is a strict embassy and even though your wife has more income than what was initially requested ( poverty level ) sometimes the CO likes to see consistent income than what was recent and they tend to have a concern about sponsors as well . If you can rebuttal have your wife send paystubs maybe six months worth , employee letter stating company , salary grade , title and duration of employment , maybe a few months worth of bank statements .

 

as far as evidence : Face time and proof of that is essential for a embassy like Ghana. Please find a way to get things like forms of communication , photos and Passport stamps reflecting how many times your spouse has visited . Make sure you provide previous evidence and current to show an ongoing relationship between you two. I understand you have a situation where things were misplaced/ deleted but try to relocate if possible

Has it been a year since you were refused under public charge, if not just send you new financial documents and all new evidence you know will support your case to dhl north ridge to be submitted to the embassy. You will be given a form to complete there. You will hear from the embassy latest by a week and you will be given further instructions.  You can make your research too but I know cases refused under public charges are not normally sent back but kept here till you are able to overcome it here. Just forget about calling them because they won’t give you an reasonable answer.

Mafriye you know when you are submitting evidence to the embassy through Dhl, there is a form Dhl office request before accepting the documents. I do not have that so how do I go there and resubmit new evidence? 

[mane 1]

Maafriye, it's over a year now since I was refused. And I learnt when it's over a year you need to start afresh again and pay the fees
