Honorable members of the forum, check out my signature... I collected my visa this morning and all praise and honor be unto the almighty God!!
It was a pretty straight forward process. It turns out Friday is the official visa collection day for DVs and IVs; there was quite a number of us.
I arrived at the embassy at 7:40am and there was already a queue at the entrance. i joined the queue dutifully and took out my visa collection ticket, but
one lady in the queue signaled me to speak to the guard when she saw my ticket.i did, and was admitted into the security checkpoint and finally into
the embassy courtyard. there I saw a number of blue-ticket-wielding ladies and gentlemen waiting (un)patiently to be called into the hall. we hanged around
for a while until a Ghanaian gentleman stepped out from the hall and summoned the crowd for a short lecture. he explained what we should be expecting,
advised us about ensuring that we collected every document of ours (school certs, etc) before leaving the embassy, and checking to ensure that the
details on the visa issued matched the bio information in our passports, etc. after he was done, we were all admitted into the hall where our names were
mentioned to form a queue. we filed to one particular window where a Ghanaian lady gave out the passports(with visa
), sealed envelope and our documents
we brought for the interview. I took my stuff outside and checked and rechecked the details as we had been advised, and finally left the embassy at around 9:15.
Is anything too hard for the Lord?? For all of you who are yet to attend their interviews, I wish you all the very best of luck; kennyeast, bennit, aduk4u, popsycandy1, heavenborn, etc.
Right now people, i've got yankee on my mind!! cheers.
