Africa: Sub-SaharanHusband is over it
I already have a lawyer, Marc Ellis. I have said I was sorry like I said just last month when I was there we worked everything out so I thought. I may not be an immigrant but I have been through the ringer spending all my money going to visit him in Ghana every six months.

Africa: Sub-SaharanHusband is over it
So I was just married fro two years in July and mind you I was just in Ghana in July as well. After they denied my husbands visa in December we began to argue a lot. I took it out on him a lot. I was mean. I had him to blame not like it was his fault but I had to yell at someone. We spent the last year argueing a lot. I wasn't even sure if I should go to Ghana in July but my ticket was non fundable. I went in hopes that we would work everything out. When I left Ghana I thought we would be ok that we worked everything again. I am waiting to hear on the appeal still at the USCIS. I have well had high hopes of the case being reaffirmed. Only to have my husband tell me he can't do this anymore, he told me I need to let go. He also used the dumb saying if I let him go and he comes back to me than it was met to be if not move on. He wants to be freinds how can we be friends we are married. I am hurt and confused right now not to mention if they do reaffirm his case do I move through the NVC again in hopes we will work things out or just let it go? Just seeking advise because my mind is so mixed up with pain right now.

Thanks Zee Bee I am praying so! I hear that I should have expedited time since the case was reaffirmed and we already did one interview. With the wait times in Ghana now, what is your take on it? Do I have to wait in order again?

Africa: Sub-SaharanCase Re affirmed
So as of today my husbands CR1 case has been re approved at the Vermont Service center and it is on its way back to the NVC. Although I am not sure it matters as he is giving up. I hope the good news will change things. All my hard work and my 8 inch thick rebuttal package has paid off. Thank you Marc Ellis, he is the best lawyer, I could not of done this without him. I just pray my husbands hope and faith on this ordeal with change now.
Thanks for everyones support along this journey as well. I could not of done it without some of you all. Nigerianbust, Lori, and Just us

Africa: Sub-SaharanCase reaffirmed ?
I called Marc Eliis, He said yes instead of the nvc asking for a new affidavit of support, the embassy would. And they would need new paystubs etc. I emailed the embassy but I got an auto response. I need to know these things, how the will contact me what else to get ready and how fast it usually goes. I get frightened to email the embassy, remember I have been literally thrown out of there twice! I am not there favorite person. I hope the have new staff since he was denied last year!

Africa: Sub-SaharanCase reaffirmed ?
So my case was recently reaffirmed and today I get this letter from the NVC
Dear ....

The National Visa Center has been informed that the US Citizenship and Immigration Services reaffirmed this petition. As the NVC had previously completed the processing of this case, the file will be forwarded to the US Embassy/ Consulate General listed below. Accra Ghana

Ok please help me I am confused, I just flew right through the NVC without sending in any paperwork this time it appears my case is going straight back to the embassy. This is wierd!!! So anyone had this before? How long is the wait for reaffirmed petitions to get an interview, I mean it is Ghana? How will they notify me of the interview?

Please any guidence I am confused as I don't know what to think! Nigerianbust I will be awaiting your reply!:)

So Ghana has issued that everyone get new Ghanian passports by 2015. I am curious to see does anyone know if the US Embassy will require our spouses to have the new biometrics passport to issue thier visa in. Just wondering if I need to make my hubby get a new passport or not?

Well if you do decide to consult an immigration attorney, call Marc Ellis www.marcellislaw.com, but this sounds like something you can fix on your own.

They can't tell you that William, they don't even have the case, it is still sitting idle at the NVC. Sorry dear you just have to wait like everyone else. At least the embassy emailed you back, I emailed them three weeks ago and have no response. My case is sitting at the emabassy and they still aren't even giving me an interview. I know its hard, Don't give up!

Africa: Sub-SaharanGhana interview
Heather we were denied last year December of 2009 221G and they sent the case back to the USCIS, with a great lawyer Marc Ellis we got the case reaffirmed August 2010, we by passed the NVC, they sent the case straight back to the embassy! Now we are just on the countdown till April. It has been a long road. 2.5 years in the process looks like it will be 3 years total when it is all said and done assuming everything goes well this time, which I am assuming it will!

Yep my case was reafirmed recently to we got a letter from the NVC stating they were sending the case back to the consulate. You seem to typically bypass the NVC once the case is reaffirmed and guess what are in line for the interview. Good luck I am sure you will have an interview in no time. They set ours in April. Funny we got denied and still got an interview quicker than those in line at the NVC for a current interview. Wierd!

Sounds like an automated response William. William, it still sounds like your case is waiting at the NVC. There are many in situation. You will have to be patient. They embassy can't do anything for you because your case is not there, it is still at the NVC waiting for them to set an interview.
