US Immigration from Ghana

I had my IV interview yesterday 11th of May. It went well. The CO asked me of my original marriage certificate, and current tax return/transcript of my wife through 221(g) paper. For sometime now my wife is unemployed, she contacted her best friend who has a good job and make a very well amount about $55,000, in 2019, $73,000 in 2020, $125,000 in 2021 and by the end of 2022 she will be making $135,000 to be my joint sponsor and her friend agreed to fill out I-864 form. However, i went to the government authority (court house where our marriage took place) to obtain a Certify True Copy (CTC) of our original marriage certificate. Yesterday i gathered all the documents i.e CTC of my original marriage certificate, Joint sponsor I-864 form, all the joint sponsor documents includes her tax returns of past three years, her transcript, her pay stub of March and April, her US passport data page, her W2. I uploaded all her documents to CEAC NVC and mail to the embassy copies including the 221(g) paper through DHL. Hope i am good to go or is there anything we fail to include?

Update: now our status has changed from refused to administrative processing.

Please how many weeks did it take for your status to change from refused to issue after submitting the required documents? I am in the same situation but it s 4 weeks now, no update or response from the embassy.

My husband submitted all my documents to NVC in the U S and it was approved, I am in Ghana waiting for my interview date but I realized the name on my birth certificate and passport has a slight mistake.. I didn t add the last alphabet to my first name on the passport.. what should we do?

Won the 2023 Dv-lotery visa,tryint to start the process but the site keep saying "Your request cannot be processed at this time."

Any idea what happening?

Is there a specific time it is open?

Hello All,

So I m having a little difficulty in knowing what steps are the proper steps to take in filing for my Husband. I m a US Citizen and I married a Ghanian in Ghana. He s currently in Ghana while I m back home in the states. I haven t started any filing process because I ve been given all sorts of answers and I m at a lost. I was told by a lawyer here in the states to have my husband come here on a tourist visa and just make him stay and start his filing. I know that isn't the correct way but I felt that if I was going to pay for a lawyer might as well get to see my husband sooner. With that being said I was also told that because we married already that he wouldn t be able to come to the states on a tourist visa. Can he come to the states on a tourist visa? Why would he be denied to travel to see his family while still going back to his home and work place?

If he doesn t come on a tourist visa, what is the best and fastest visa I should apply for? Once he obtains his green card he will be joining the national guard. Is there any benefit to the fact that we are already married? Most of the forums are for Fianc s not already married ..

please help me lol.
