Thank God all who gave numerous pieces of advice. I have picked my visa and that of my wife today at 10:30 am. It is so wonderful I can't believe it.

I really do not have any comment on Teeman's issue since he has not shared the nature of the immigrant visa that his uncle was receiving. DV lottery cases usually have clear-cut requirement. That is if a person meet the requirements it is straight forward that the person will likely receive the visa as long as within the fiscal year and their case number becomes current. The other path for immigrant cases are complicated and unique. They are treated individually and thus unless you are truly informed with the background of a particular case it is ill-advise to make any blanket comment

I am sorry for not updating the information here. I called the State Department and they said that the department got an email from Ghana saying the embassy is reviewing some immigrant visa categories. The visa represetative at the State departmet did not say too much. I also emailed the counsulate about my uncle problem and this is what they say:

Thank you for your email inquiry dated April 20, 2009, concerning the immigrant visa of Mr. XXXXXX

We wish to inform you that we returned the applicant’s passport and were unable to issue visa because the U.S. Embassy Accra suspended some immigrant visa operations temporarily for an administrative review of Post’s processing system. We hope to resume full operation sometime in May. We have informed Mr. XXXXX that we will contact him once the administrative review is complete.

U.S. Embassy Accra
Kind regards,
Consular Section

So I guess the embassy is reviewing Sister filing for brother. Now that a DV winner picked up his visa means the regular immigrant visas are the ones that are beig reviewed. Thanks for all your help guys.
 
From what I am reading from your email from the Embassy in Accra and what I have being hearing about issues that applicants are facing, it appears that the embassy is undergoing some revamping or operational changes. I think there has being some questionable activities at the embassy and thus they may be reviewing the practices at the embassy. Which may result in additional review of some applicants.

hello iam a DV 2009 lottery winner. Can someone pls tell me for how long do i need to wait for they call.... i was at the interview and they told me that they need to chk my diploma and other and they will call me. pls some one who have passed the same way pls tell me ..
 
It sounds like you are under administrative review. The cases the put under this circumstance will be call after consular checks all your documents. After they are ready they will contact you. It takes at least one month. As i know case pending is not the same some is shorter and some is extend to more than 3 months.
 
It can be much shorter than 1month (a few days to weeks) or longer depending on what they are looking for.
