God is good!
He went the the embassy at 7am for his 7:30 appointment time. He was not called in until 10am. He was told to by a Ghanaian woman to give her the documents (affidavit of support, income tax return, etc). Also, he gave her the proof of relationship (photos and emails). He had an entire album, but he was told to only take out those of him and I together. After handing it over, he was told to sit and wait until he is called. About 30 mins later, he was called in. He was interviewed by an American man. He said the interview was quite casually and the man was very friendly.
Some of the questions were:
Where/How did we meet?
Where does your fiancee work?
What does she do?
Do you have children?
Does she have children?
Have you been married before?
How did you like Massachusetts (my fiance visited me in 2003)?
What are your future plans?
Do you work?
When all the questioning was through, he was told that his fist name and "middle" name was interchanged on the documents. My fiance will need to get a new passport by the 21st in order to recieve the visa. Before he left, he was given an approval form and our photos. |

| Embassy Review : |
So far, the process has been very smooth for us. We were initially given an interview date in June 2007 which was changed to March 2007.
I highly suggest contacting your governor's office (Emily Winterson for those in Massachusetts). Communication with the Ghana Embassy is much faster through the Gov. office. They are there to help. Don't wait until you encounter a holdback/problem. |

*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
