There are a number of posts about the interview experiences of dv-2010 winners in the Ghanaian and the Nigerian threads. Just go through them and you will find a lot of interview experiences - for the Ghanaian 2010 thread you could start from January 2010.

Yes you can ask for the start date to to be deferred to a later date. Some guy tried it and succeeded.

Once you have not been current and your file not sent to the American consulate in Ghana, you can make any change to the forms submitted to KCC. It's acceptable to make changes to the information sent to KCC. I sent a second forms like you have done and even later made changes to my address while my file was with KCC.
 
Ammecko9 thank you very much for sharing your experience. It is very valuable. It takes away the anxiety.

Hi seandelli,

This is the break down of my total expenditure for the processing of my visa.

Processing Fee (775 * 1.45) = 1,123.75
Medicals = 380.00
Police report ( 5.00 or 10.00 have forgotten) = 10.00
Total amount = GH 1,513.75


In all i paid 3,027.5 Ghana Cedi for a family of two.
 
The police CID office in Kumasi upon inquiry told me the cost of the Police certificate is 70.0 Ghana Cedis.

wow, it's now getting more costly to acquire a police certificate in Ghana. For Ghanaian residents abroad, the cost is now US$200 (originally US$80).
