His POE was a smooth process. And although my fiance received a passport stamp on his POE, He nor I had any clue that he could have applied for the EAD at that time. I assumed that he couldn't do it until we filed for his AOS later after our wedding. |

When we initially filed for AOS, We received an RFE because we forgot to include the proof of U.S. citizenship for our I-864 co-sponsor information. We mailed out the co-sponsor U.S. birth certificate in response.
UPDATE: Hubby's AOS was approved; We did not have to interview!

Consulate Review: Ghana

| Embassy Review : |
My fiance had his interview this morning. He called me to let me know the details after he left the embassy. He said that the consular (a guy) was nice to him. The consular looked through all of the evidence I sent, this included Skype logs, phone logs, emails etc. I also sent my fiance about 20 pictures from my last trip in Ghana of me and him together and also ones of me, him and his family together. He said the consular looked through those too.
When done with that, he asked my fiance these questions: When was the last time you saw her? and why hasn't she been back since 2010? Then my fiance explained that I did get my visa to come back to Ghana and was in the process of making plans. (Although I did have my visa and had planned to go back, I was unable to due to plane ticket expenses. I was worried that his Visa would be denied if I didn't make it back to Ghana) But thank God that was not a factor in the consular's decision. Thanks be to God, he approved my fiance's visa inspite of my infrequent trips to Ghana!
The consular told my fiance that he should come back to pick up his Visa on September 7th!! |

*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.
