Consulate Review: Ghana Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 20, 2012 Embassy Review : This is what happened when I went to the American Embassy in Ghana. I got there around 5:30 in the morning and 7 people were there already. We were asked to go under the tree so that when it was 7:00 they would call us. After sitting under the tree for some time, they called us to form a line. We went inside and sat down and waited. They called me to window 1 and they took away all the papers from me. Then they asked me to go and pay 630 Ghana cedi’s and I did and then they told me to send the receipt to window 2. I was called again to window 2 and they took my fingerprints. I went back to sit down and waited for a long time. I was watching people passing and not passing their interviews as I was waiting. I was finally called to window 6 and saw an old white man. He said to hold on for a few seconds and I said ok. He came back with all my papers and the first question he asked me is how did u get to know your fiancé? I said that Feddy came here to Ghana for a mission and he met me through the church. And he said when did he come? I said July 2008. And then he asked when our relationship started and I said March 2010. He then said in his computer it says that I tried to go to the states in June and I should tell him why. And I told him that I was going to surprise Feddy. He said it says there that I said to visit a friend. And I said yes, I made plans with Feddy’s best friend because my Feddy was very sick and I wanted to be there for him. And the man said to me then I will marry Feddy and will not come back. He was very angry at me. I said that wasn’t my plan because I have to come back to work because I wanted to do it during my leave of work. So I thought he will not give me the visa. So I was very sad. He packed some of my papers to me and asked me what does Feddy do? And I said he has two jobs. He works at Bowman’s and the Hole in One. He asked me where does Feddy live and I said Layton, Utah. And he smiled at me and said Layton close to Salt Lake City and I said yes. And he said what church do I go to and I said The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And he said LDS? And I said yes. He asks if I was a member and I said yes. And he took the blue sheet and wrote my name and put when I could come get the visa. He said to come a month from now to pick up the visa. I cried and I said thank you to him and he smiled to me and I left the window. I walked to where I was sitting before and put my papers he gave me in my bag. I told the woman sitting close to me who was praying all day that I made it. I got out and called Feddy to give him the big news that the visa has been approved! Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
