Africa: Sub-SaharanShould I return packet 3?
Hello Vj family!
I want to know if I really need to return packet 3 to the Us embassy in Accra.I picked up both packet 3 and 4 on the same day but I read on the packet 3 that I need to return it before I will be issued packet 4.
Returning it means returning the documents the embassy asked f. Should I send them the Documents now or wait till interview day?
*Confused* Thanks in advance!

Africa: Sub-SaharanDating Internationally
Ghanaluv,this is a good topic you brought up. Marriage or Relationship fraud is very common nowadays in africa and Ghana is a good example. Ghanaian guys do not work nowadays,what they do is go on the net and look for foreigner especially americans just for them to get the chance to go to the States.These guys tend to depend on their foreign fiancees for up keeping money. One could ask himself why doesn't he work? While in a relationship with one woman,they still look for other women on the internet who will be assisting them finacially. Even before he looks for women online,he already has someone he is dating in Ghana. They go to the extent of introducing their girlfriends as sisters and the girlfriends agree because she wants her so called guy to enter the US.I'm a ghanaian and living there right now and this is a fact. There's one guy in my area who brings different types of women from the states every Year with the intention of marrying her.his parents are aware of it and they welcome each and every woman with hospitality because they want their son to go to the states. You can never tell what they are up to.
I met my fiance when he came to ghana after travelling to the US for years. He happens to be my father's friend's son so his dad brought him to greet my dad and that was where we met.from there we saw each other every other day before he travelled back to the US. He came back a year later and we got married at that time of his visit.that was in 2008.he returned and filed the CR1 for me.I don't have ny second thoughts on my husby because he is wonderful and matured.we love each other very much only we don't talk on the phone often .we talk every other day but send emails often cos he's kinda busy at work. The fraud is possible especially in the situation where the ladies are rather petitioning for their partners and the guys always depend on the ladies for money...this is one thing to be careful about.

Wow!
Thus information is very helpful to me.I'm thinking of going to Akai house bcos that was where I did last year. I called them and I was told the whole tests and vaccinations will cost me 380cedis,also I will have to go to Medlab for the chest xray which I was thinking will be hectic for me. I'm so happy u gave this info,I'm going with Holy trinity straight up. Also I get to save 10cedis for taxi and trotro fares.I'm so glad.

Africa: Sub-SaharanVaccinations!!!
Hello VJ,

I hope everybody is doing great. Well, I'm wondering if I can ignore one of the vaccination, this is because when I take that particular one,I can't get pregnant till 3months later and my husband and I can't wait to have our babies.So can I reject that particular vaccine?
Thanks to everyone and enjoy the weekend!

Africa: Sub-SaharanReaffirming approval
Hi!
Congrats on the reaffirmation.Mine was also reaffirmed 3moths ago.My case took only one week at the NVC bcos I went through the NVC process previously.So in your case I'm hopeful they will return it to the Us embassy within a month and you will get a new interview date.It doesn't take long at the visa center since you've been through I before. Now I have a interview on March next year! I hope this is helpful

Africa: Sub-SaharanAge Difference
Well I donno but in my opinion I don't think it has any impact on your interview. I never heard any had a problem with the age difference at his/her interview. My husby is older than me with 28 years and it didn't bring any concern of the Consular officer when I went for my interview earlier this year. What I rather heard is that in cases where women petition for their men triggers admin processing.
