DV 2017 Selectees from Ghana

[BlackSheeran]

Thanks Sussie. Sorry if I sound a little bit nervous. But I've literally gone through every forum on here and the Ghana rejects makes me want to do the right thing. Do you have any idea about specifics in these checks? Especially from the US? Thanks

The detail about the checks are not disclosed. They will be checking various sources to see any areas of concern for security. THose checks are performed on everyone - so relax. It will be far more important to make sure you have read the instructions, and, when the time comes, that you prepare well for your interview.

High DV refusal rates in Accra are not related to mandatory IV security clearance process, but to the fact that Ghana, like a select number of other countries, has been assigned 'high visa fraud' status by the US DoS, with additional process requirements applicable to those posts in order to noticeably reduce it. As Britsimon suggested, your best preparation therefore is to make sure to read and follow all instructions and to get your documents in order, a priori preventing any and all potential suspicions of fraud in your DV case. Good luck!

Thanks Britsimon. As I said, I've read every discussion and every detail of this forum. I believe you guys deserve a laurel. Anywhich way I'll still be poking as often as I'll need to. Thanks so much you all. Britsimon and Euro2014

Hello, I am here again. Can I fill the DS 260 without putting my passport number? Although I'll get my passport by the interview date? Cheers.

 

[BlackSheeran]

Also, how related should you be to your host? And what should be the evidence?

Yes you can, and you should be able to get KCC to unlock your form to enable you update that information once you get the passport.

The more closely related, the better. Evidence could be in the form of pictures, communications, etc - although such evidence is rarely asked for unless in situations where the CO is doubtful of the claimed relationship.

Thanks Mom. The Sponsor is my brother in law's friend. Not too close.

It's normal to be a 'bit' nervous at this stage. Been in your shoes.
You could simply get an affidavit of support in addition, as a backup.

 

[BlackSheeran]

Thanks so much. I'll request for that.

Please I want to know if you filled the ds260 as married but partner is not going with you do you still take pictures to prove it and more evidence that you are indeed married ? (2) will your partner and baby follow you to the interview if they will not follow you to the US. (3)will the embassy tell you to come alone if they know you are going to the US alone? Or they will not tell you anything on the interview letter. they will just schedule interview so I have to go with them and prove myself? Interview is in GHANA. .

The interview letter will list everyone, but only those requiring visas need to go to the interview, do medicals etc.

Not sure about the marriage proof thing but if you got married after selection, I'd say yes it's safer to bring proof, partly because it looks less like a real marriage if you're not all going, and the flipside is that you can bring your partner later as a green card holder.

So please if partner is not going will they list him/her on the interview letter to come as well? Or it will be only me? Will they be specific who to come to the interview? Married on February.

Whoever you submitted a DS form for will be on the interview letter, as far as I know. Of course you need to list all your spouse/kids on your own DS even if you don't submit for them.

Either response is fine - that question is actually not applicable to DV applicants.

Hi,
I faced the same dilemma when filling mine but eventually had to settle on ' does not apply' since there's no such thing in Ghana. But our super moderators' recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
