Africa: Sub-SaharanTaking Family to Ghana
QUOTE (Ricca711 @ Apr 4 2008, 01:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
After some serious research and many phone calls...Delta does have a lift to take my mom to the ground. I was informed that all airlines have them but you have to let them know in advance. KLM claims that sometimes at the airport in Accra the equipment might not be available, therefore they would not make any guarantees. All the others guarantee the lift. I just wanted to give an update so in case anyone else might be faced with this task. Thanks again for all the advice. Now....I better get busy on those passports.

Africa: Sub-SaharanDual Citizenship

I know that my Ghanaian husband can one day in the future achieve dual citizenship. My question, is if anyone knows if the American wife of a Ghanaian can get citizenship in Ghana? Anyone had any experience with this? It would sure be more convenient for travel in Africa, and we might be going back in a few months. Thanks all!

Not sure if you have already found your answer, but I have dual citizenship "born overseas and migrated to the US". However, I happen to come from a country which insists that I maintain my citizenship there along with my US citizenship. However, it is my understanding that the US insists its "born" citizens chose one or the other unless you were born overseas, have parents from "that" country etc. I would start asking the Ghanian consulate in your area if the process is even possible.
Hope you are able to find all the answers you need.

Africa: Sub-SaharanFiance in a country outside his home country
I know of two separate cases with Cameroonians. One had to return to Cameroon to go through the process, but it was fairly quick. I think it was because the VISA issued for that European country required it and the K1 took longer to be approved. (He later came here and transferred his credits towards his Masters) The second one went Frankfurt. However, if he does return to Cameroon, they ask for a police report from Germany and every country he has lived in since being a teenager.

Africa: Sub-SaharanFiance in a country outside his home country

My hubby is from Ghana but has been living outside for many years and had his interview in Athens, Greece! So as all the vjers who posted on here...there was not a problem..in fact, i think if they have lived outside of their home country for some years in another country..this works more in you and his favor cause it shows the embassy that your loved one has acted in good faith everytime he was issued a visa in the past!

Africa: Sub-SaharanEmbassy said "no record" of fiance--Help!
[/quote]
Ask for a guy named Thierry. Thierry speaks both French and English and he was the one who helped me when I was in Cameroon. There is another woman named Gladys who had a prominent position in the Embassy who might still be there. If they can't find his paperwork, it might be that it is just sitting on someone's desk and they have not put it back where it is supposed to be. Lastly, check the last name. My husband used his own name not the family name first, so they kept addressing him as his name not the family name. One question, who took the paperwork at the Embassy? Was it the people outside or the person inside? When you turn in a pack, they normally give you a receipt which they use as a tracker there.
Good Luck

Africa: Sub-SaharanVisa approved!!

Ben had his interview this morning and was approved!! Things apparently went very smoothly, and they asked very few questions--just how we met, if I had any siblings, where I was born, where I worked. And I guess the paperwork was ok because he was approved! He'll go pick up his visa on Thursday and hopefully I'll get him here in about 2 weeks!

Thanks to everyone for their support!!

The other option, if cheaper, fly through a different country. Belguim didn't require a transit VISA when my husband came through there.
chispasFemale02007-04-30 17:34:00
Africa: Sub-SaharanJust curious...

I think it's more a financial or class bias than a race bias on the part of the consulate officers, actually. They are acutely aware (according to the people from the embassy I've spoken with) of the way so many people in poor countries see a visa to the U.S. as winning the lottery. So in their minds they are "protecting" the U.S. citizen from someone who is professing love but seeing dollar signs and will just use her/him as a means to become a permanent resident and then a couple years down the line divorce and bring over the wife/husband they meant to marry and other family members. (This experience, I can see from the guys my husband has met so far, is pretty common.)

Bottom line: is it the consulate's job to have this reasoning in mind? No! The law states you need to meet once. But it doesn't seem to work that objectively, at least from what I've heard in Accra.



I agree to all of the above, but there is some racial bias involved in this too. Not to say all cases are racially or tribally based and no means do I mean to imply that what I saw is the standard. :blush:
The school where I worked submitted applications for various students all at the same time. The visas to the US were granted quickly to the North Africans and either slower or not at all for the ones from the Congo region. When I asked what the difference was, as they all were Africans, I was told that historically that is the way it is. This information came from my white co-workers.

I can breathe better now. The answer is that the K2 is only valid for one year after the K1 arrives here. However, just to seal this understanding, I am going to write to the USCIS so that they are aware of my intentions to not proceed further with that K2. One never knows with them what they'll. My husband was issued the conditional green card less than a year after we were married and without any interview. The thing just showed up a few months after filling out the I485 plus more than one Welcome to America letters.

Thanks to all for helping me with this question.

Hi again VJ Family.
I posted this question in another Forum, but hadn't recieved many hits, so I am reposting here where I hang out the most. :innocent:

My husband arrived here over two years ago on a Fiance' visa. In addition, to filing for him I also filed for his sister who he had been taking care of. However, she never came to the USA. I am now learning that she has since had a child, is in a bad relationship and would like to now come to the USA. Ironically, my relationship with my husband is on 'shaking grounds', to say the least. Thus I would like to find out if the visa initially reserved for her (over two years ago) still valid? I hope not, because I don't want to have any ties in terms of financially being responsible for her should she actually come to the United States.

Thanks for your help.
Question: Considering that over 2 years have passed since the NVC issued


Approved I-130 petitions are usually good for one year. Contact the NVC for confirmation.

p.s. I don't understand how you were able to file a petition for his sister - doesn't make sense to me.


Sorry,
His family was in the process of adopting her, as an orphan, from another country when his father died. In order to bring her with the family my husband finished the adoption process as he is about 25 years older than she is, but she was raised as a sibling in the household. The family has adopted several orphans from the Sudan area over the years.

Africa: Sub-SaharanMoving to the US from African/non-western cultures
Hola Ladies,
To me, this discussion is one that probably needs to be repeated on a weekly basis as things constantly change as our loved ones arrive here, learn something new etc.

I agree with everyone who said to keep their husbands/fiances busy. That is one of the best things that one can do until they find work or start school. To follow-up on the original question, perhaps we all know that there might be sadness, unmet expectations or even depression after arriving and seeing the reality of living in the United States. To me the important thing is how that depression or sadness manifests itself. If your spouse can share those feelings with you and verbalize their beliefs, that would be great! Anything to get the discussion out in the open is tantamount to weathering that bumpy road. As was said before in may different ways, no matter how you talk about it, hearing about and living in America are two totally different thing

Africa: Sub-SaharanFor white men married to African women
Just to add to the discussion on "hair". If we all dig deep into our "roots" we'll find that many African American men and women do have a problem with seeing the nappy hair. This goes back further than I know and much has been and is written about how we perceive ourselves and our own hair. Do you remember the Spike Lee scene in School Daze? The one with "good" and "bad" hair?
So even if the husband seems insensitive about his wife's hair, this has been an ongoing issue on many fronts. To add further, when I was in Africa and getting my hair braided, I was asked how come my hair was so "hard" when I have lighter skin? I was shocked because I felt in Africa nobody would pay attention to the unruly tresses I had. But noooooooooo sombody had to point it out to me again. Somebody had to point out that I had "bad" hair compared to many Africans and that I should do something to make it softer. (The comb the woman was using broke in my hair)
That was one long walk down the street (with slippers on) leaving the salon with a friggin comb sticking out of the side of my bushy hair so that I could finish getting it braided behind closed doors. :wacko:

On a previous post you had claimed you were a Ghanaian, and now you are claiming that you are a Nigerian.

Anyhow, your husband married you with your thick course hair. Apperently, thats what he likes and that is what he should stick with without any complaints. If he wanted an Ethiopian then he should of gotten one before he married you. My whole point is that he chose to marry you and he knew what the package was. At the day of your wedding, he married you with your course hair and he was not complaining then. Why now?


Sorry about that. I am from Ghana. Whew, I have been here too long and my conversation for geographically challenged Minnesota people brought itself into the post :-). Everytime I tell people I am from Ghana in America, the first thing they say is "where is that?" So I started saying Nigeria, which is where I last lived before arriving in U.S., a more familiar country to keep the conversation moving. Most people think I am Spanish (because of the wig).

Do they not teach geography in America? I could tell you a million stories from other Africans here who go through the same thing: "Where's Ethiopia?, where's Somalia?, Where's Eritrea?" If you don't say Nigeria or Kenya, they are lost. I'm still trying to get some people hear to believe that Egypt is in Africa. They usually say "Egypt is in Saudi Arabia."

Thanks for your feedback


Wow, I am an American and I can answer a few of your questions about Americans being taught geography. And not all people in America nor Africa are ignorant. Let me as an American woman give you a piece of advice. Wear the wig until you get that green card of yours. Do you know why I come to this post everyday? Because I respect my African brothers and sisters and I am about to marry a Nigeria as soon as I can get him here. I come here to learn some things and to see what issues are being faced. I kind of feel like Rodney King here and just want to say can we all just get along. As far as what we are taught in school we rarely are taught anything about Africa and the African people except that most of them have HIV.( Before anyone says anything I have been to Nigeria twice and I know better) I am just telling you how most Americans view Africa even the African Americans who are actually of the African heritage. You are going to be faced with so many issue now that you are here. You are going to see white women looking at you funny for being with one of their own and the black woman will look at you like you think you are better than they are. Not all but some. You are going to face many things girl in this world. Come on get a grip on this wig thing and if you don't want to wear it don't. Go get you some mico-braids you will love it.

Sorry to hear you are still struggling with this. When I was at that stage, I was having a hard time getting reports from Ethiopia which is where he lived as a teen. I was not able to get any results from the Cameroonian Embassy in Addis Abeba, but I was able to get help through a man whose daughter was a former student from the H.S. where I work. That was a Godsend then!

Have you tried getting in contact with local Chinese organizations in the United States? In our area we have community outreach centers for various cultural groups and many offer free legal help for their expats. The next area you may want to check is the Missionary route. Several organizations including the Red Cross and Catholic Relief services have offices around the World. You may have to continue to network until you find a good Samaritan who is will ing to do the legwork for you.

Lastly, How about the Asia forum? Have you posted your plea there in hopes that there is some on VJ who lives in that region and can help?
Prayers all will work.

THE TIME MAY SEEM LONG TO US BUT TO GOD IT IS A LIGHT AFFLICTION. IN THE PERFECT TIME ALL THAT YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR , ALL THAT YOU HAVE FASTED FOR, ALL THAT YOU HAVE CRIED FOR WILL ALL BE A DISTANT MEMORY. DON'T LET THE DEVIL KNOW HE GOT BACKED IN A CORNER. WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANNA CRY, CRY BUT CRY OUT TO GOD AND BEGIN TO PRAISE AND MAGNIFY HIS NAME AND WATCH HOW QUICK YOUR SITUATION CHANGES. SO MANY TIMES I WANT TO CRY BUT I START GIVING GOD THE PRAISE AND SOMETHING STIRS UP IN THE INSIDE AND ALL I CAN DO IS SHOUT AND DANCE BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE THE VICTORY. WHEN YOU ARE TEAMED UP WITH GOD FIGHTING AGAINST THE DEVIL, IT'S REALLY A FIXED FIGHT. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHO IS GOING TO WIN, "GOD". SO BE ENCOURAGED AND KNOW WHO YOU ARE TEAMED UP WITH. THE PRINCE OF PEACE, THE LILLY IN THE VALLEY, THE STRONG TOWER, OUR REDEEMER. HE HAS NEVER LOST A BATTLE. GOD CAN AND WILL GIVE YOU THE PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING.WE WILL KEEP UP UPLIFTED IN PRAYER AND THATS A PROMISE

I feel the same way. We were close to finally being together, we were a month away from our processing time (six months) on the I-129F and it was snatched away due to an early I-130 approval. They forced us to go for the CR1 after I let it sit idle at the NVC for four months. We felt like that carrot they dangle in front of us was snatched away once again. Since we had hoped on a January interview, I'm going to visit him in January anyway. It gives us something to look forward to. I think the trick for us is to keep our minds busy focusing on something in the future we can actually look forward to rather than some possible date for an interview that may come at some time in the future. I need something more substantial than that. The waiting kills.

Let me tell you.. two weeks ago I was a basket case. I was angry with God, furious at the USCIS, fed up with America in general. I convinced myself that all the peace of mind God brought through my previous prayers were just God's way of pacifying me while He stuck it to me. I see now that I was being very childish and failed the test of faith. I don't pray for another test but I pray for the strength not to lose site of His goodness again. Mrs. Akindel is right.. although I never had quite that much fire smile.gif

It really is going to come to an end someday. Your sacrifices will be rewarded. Do you think it's possible for you to go visit him for a while?

My intelligent, strong, confident, proud husband has been reduced to tears on a daily basis. We cry every day together. Family and friends try to console us..tell us it will be over soon...to have patience and pray..but it does not take the pain away. Getting thru each day is becoming a challenge. I worry about him there, with all the violence and threats of strikes and fuel shortages. I can't get into the holiday spirit no matter how hard i try. Every minute i am thinking about him. i can't concentrate or focus on anything anymore. You see...i lived there with him for 3 months, my 12yr old son and I. We rented a flat, my son attended school, and we made a life together. Then i had to come back. Now i am lost without him. And he isn't doing well either. It's hard to go from loving and living every day together, to nothing!
