I got to the embassy at 0620 and had my breakfast while waiting for the front door security person to call us in to verify our appointments. Some run to occupy the front row. After I got my appointment verified, I went through the first entrance and a security check after which I was directed to the room where the actual proceedings would take place.
I handed in my appointment letter and was called to Window I in approximately 20 minutes. The lady, who was Ghanaian, was initially nice but raised her voice when she realized I was being slow. She gave me a DS-156K to fill and a leaflet to take to the cashier to pay the visa fee. My passport-size pictures had a glare so I was asked to go outside and retake them, which I did.
When I returned, I paid the fee of 480 GHS. I then submitted my pictures, the visa payment receipt and the filled DS-156K document to Window I. I asked if she needed any supporting documents and she said no.
I was then called to Window II and after I was made to wipe my hand and take all 10 fingerprints, I returned to wait for them to be processed.
I was called back to Window I within 15 minutes. The lady returned the items I earlier submitted and proceeded to swear me in. She asked four questions: How I met my fiancée, How long she had lived in the US, Where she lives and her pet’s name. While asking me these questions, she passed over the DS-156K and asked me to write my fiancée's name and endorse it.
She picked a green leaflet and asked me to pick-up my documents. She asked that I don’t make any travelling plans or resign from my job until everything goes through when I pick my visa up in a few days. She wished me well.
