Interview was on November 2,2015 in Accra.
Got there about 6:45am and queue started forming shortly after.
Inside,we were first called to submit documents.
Tip:
**Organize your documents in transparent folders if you intend to submit in a folder. They would not accept folders they cannot see inside of.
**Don't use any kind of ring binder as it would not fit through the window(at least not easily).
Next was a call to have biometrics taken at window 1.
Around 10am, we were called for interview. The lady officer was serious-looking and very business-like but courteous.
She acknowledged my husband's (USC petitioner)presence and then asked him to take a seat.she said she'd call him if needed.
I was a bit nervous but relaxed after about the second question.
Questions were:
How did you meet your husband?
When did you become boyfriend-girlfriend?
How have you been communicating?
How did he propose?
Tell me about your traditional marriage?
Tell me about your husband's job?
What do you know about your husband's friends?
What does your husband like to do in his leisure time?
Have you been married before?
Do you have children?
Have you ever travelled or lived outside Ghana?
Have you been to this embassy before?
The officer then said she's going to issue the visa and gave me the blue slip she had filled out and said not to make any travel arrangement.
It took 7mins from time we were called to when I left the window(husband timed it). During the interview, the officer showed no emotion and I couldn't tell what she thought of my answers, she typed on her computer the whole time and nodded a few times.
I just decided to not worry about my inability to read her and answer confidently and truthfully.
Tip:
Keep answers short and precise. I realized that my answers were causing her to ask follow up questions a couple of times, so I quickly learnt to give brief answers.
I'd say it was a good experience.
Everyone was professional and courteous.
