9. 3-way DNA results for our first child.
10. Affidavit letters from friends and family
11. Copies of shipping bill of ladings
Note: Are documents were hand carried to Ghana on my last trip (25lbs)
At embassy she was called by a Ghanaian lady to window 2, who asked for her civil documents and all supporting evidence. She only accepted a few and said that is too much documentation.
5 minutes after the collection of documents she was called by CO. She was breastfeeding at the time, so CO told her to take her time and finish breastfeeding
CO – white American lady in her late 20’s early 30’s and very friendly
She claimed she had reviewed all our documents from USCIS/NVC.
Interview questions
• How do you pronounce your last name, I am learning small.
• Have you been married before
• What about your husband
• How many children do you have together
• Are you travelling with your children
• Who is the DNA results for
• Did your husband come to the embassy with you for your second child’s passport application
• She left her station and went inside the office, upon returning she said “madam I have good news for you, your visa has been approved. I am having issues with my computer today but I will give you a paper so you can come back tomorrow anytime with your passport, I am really sorry you have to come back again tomorrowâ€.
• CO kept interacting / giggling with our 4 months old baby the entire interview process.
FYI - This was our second time around, first application was denied 221g. I withdrew the application after NOIR and refiled again a new petition.
For all of you folks out there, there is HOPE

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
