Overall, a pleasant experience. Everyone was nice and friendly, but the interview was still very thorough.
The initial lady collected the following documents:
- My passport
- Passport pictures
- Police reports
The interview lasted about 30 mins despite the fact I was asked many questions.
I kept my answers short and clarified just a couple of points to the CO.
Interview question:
1. How did you meet your husband?
2. How did your relationship progress from there?
3. How much older is your husband than you?
(A lot questions surrounded my husband because of the age gap between us.)
4. When did you say you met?
5. So you have known your husband for 8 years and married for the last 2 years. How come it took you both that long to get married?
6. Can I see your wedding pictures?
7. How many people were at each of your traditional and white weddings?
8. Do you have any other pictures of your relationship? (Yes)
9. Can I see all of the pictures you have?
(I had about 200 pictures in collages - she went through every picture while she kept asking more questions)
10. I see you have travelled outside Ghana. What countries?
11. Have you lived abroad and if so for how long?
12. Have you ever been arrested before?
13. Where is your husband now? (He dropped me off for the interview?)
14. When did he come back to Ghana? (He hasn't left since we got married in 2019).
15, How come?
16. When does he plan to return to the US?
17. Where does your husband live in the US.
18. Does he have property in the US?
19. Do you know that your husband recently retired? (Yes).
20. Can I see his financial records?
(Submitted copy of I-864 and his updated 202 bank and investment statements - he used assets as additional financial backing)?
21, How many children do you and your husband have together? (She asked for their birth certs)
22. Did your children have any DNA testing done for their CRBA? (No. None was requested.)
Then came the magic word:
"Congratulations!" - I can't find a reason to deny you. I wish you and your husband all the best in the US"
She kept my passport and handed me a Domestic Violence document to read and instructions to collect my passport.
Documents she did not ask for but that I carried along:
1. Tax transcript (but she did look through my husbands I-864).
2. My husbands divorce papers.
3. My husband's citizenship papers and passports.
4. Call logs, whatsapp messages, Travel logs.
