Husband arrived at EWR Airport Newark NJ at 930am.
Immigration had less people on arrival so his process was fast. They asked for medicals and he told them he wasn't given by embassy in ghana. Officer checked on computer and snapped him a picture. No fingerprints was taken. Passport was stamped, decleared what was in his luggage and was out of airport in 15mins. |

| Embassy Review : |
My husband arrived at 8am for his 9:30am appointment. He was called for finger prints and to present original and supporting documents to a ghanaian lady according to him with no smiles or eye contact but he didn't pay her attention because we already read about her. Was later called at 1:15pm ish for interview and qtions asked were
How did we meet
What work does your wife do
Do you have kids with wife
And that was it. CO said I'm approving you and congrats and was given a white sheet with details to create account for passport pickup in three weeks at DHL. It was a long wait however it came out successful.
I thank all VJ house members, your comments and timelines were very helpful to us. I Pray all will also have a successful visa journey. Let's be patient and pray for each other. And please let's try to update our timelines so it can help others. God bless. |

E/R on 2019-10-30 said:Am Ghanaian i meet American citizen online then we date for about 6 months then she came to Ghana, on her first coming to Ghana we got marriage, and she starting filing for me and also made a second visit to me after we got married in 5 months time ,now everything is completed with NVC,now it left with my interview letter and date, can it affect my interview or visa. My wife is 33 years and i am 30 years .
Did your flight to Newark have a stop? If so, what country was the stop in? My fiancé is coming from Ghana also. I’m trying to figure out the best airport for him to fly Into and which layover.
Rawin on 2019-12-13 said: Yes, he had a stop at Washington DC IAD for 2hours layover. Flight was south African airlines. I used student universe flights. Google it, they have affordable prices
*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.
