Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[palomadiego]

I have gone through the family class forum and discovered there is no thread for Accra applicants.

I am one, my hubby sent in our application in january and still waiting for sponsorship approval

Hubby resides in Canada. Also hoping to hear from people who have applied through Accra in the past

Hoping to hear good news soon!!!!

hi palomadiego, i applied to Accra and i would say it went well for me and our application took two months my husband is a white canadian we aplied in october cic receieved our appliction in october 13th 2010, he was approved in november 15th 2010 as a sponsor and file was in process the same 15th november 2010, and i got an interveiw date for november 26th 2010 against febuary 1st 2011, and i got my visa same day and i landed in vancouver on the 8th feb 2011. so i would say two months it was amazing well we had a lots of proofs in and photos so you have to be ready for interveiw save more communication from when you put in the appiliction to your interveiw date becos they would ask for more proof of communication. there are some thread about interveiw question so it would be good if you print them out so you can study them it will help. know your spouse very well everything about him.it will be good.

Great to have an Accra thread! I have been in process since Nov. 2009. Did my interview Dec. 2010. They asked for a re-medical a week ago (actually i already did it before my interview) hope they can sort it out and send me PPR soon. I keep going through my mail box a thousand time daily!

I hope yours is as quick as richie's

 @ richie4u for you yeah i read your story. you were damn lucky I hope mine goes well. I am a nigerian so is my hubby but he resides in Canada. we did our registry in november 2010 and filed in January 2011. we sent over a 100 pics both wedding and vacations pics we have had, letters, mails etc. I wish mine comes fast too cos being away from my husband has not been easy..

 @ Dikz, yours has taken so long almost two years now. Is yours for spouse? because if it is why is it taken so long. From what I know it takes maximum 6 to 9 months

[richie4U]

yes palomadiego it was amazing and i thanks God for that, but you will need to do your home work well, well i wish you all the best, make sure you know
so many stuff about your husband, how you met, when you met, what he like to do, what you do together, where he works, how much he earns, the name of his working place, previous work place, his family birth dates where he lives in canada, address, benefit and more. i was asked all these questions dont worry you will do ok, be prepared, and you will get your visa same day.

[palomadiego]

thanks richie! Yeah i know a lot about him and us. But i'll get more info about him. Still waiting for sponsors approval...i pray it comes soon...

Congratulations!! I truly think that we applied at the 'golden time' for Accra, it seems that those applications that were submitted in spring of 2010 were processed very quickly. I have always felt so terrible for those who have had to wait a year or more to be with their spouse.

I am thrilled for you! Good luck with your journey to your new home.

Hi Everyone,
  Glad to have found this thread.  @  Bobyshynoswife, thanks a lot for your reply, We are praying that my hubby gets the visa on the day of the interview. I am counting down now to April 4th.
 @  Palomadiego, are you nervous? hope u get yours too on the day of your interview.
  @  Richie for you, can you remember any more questions that you were asked? and how long did your inteview take. Were you nervous on that day?
 

[richie4U]

i was not nervous ify, although the IO asked me if i was nervours i said no that i was excited i guess she want to know my emotion
i was question for one hour, and she was looking straight into my eys thrying to
read every language of my body, i was confidence too is another thing and be free and genuine
she asked five things i liked about my husband, where he lives, what is his hobbies, what he is doing when he is not working.
where he work and how long he has been working there, birth dates families and himself
when we met, how we meet, when he proposed, how the relationship developed,
well i guess you will see how thread about interveiw question so go through them it
will help, and be calmand blink your eyes or look away i guess because i was also looking striaght
into the IO eyes too, and i got my visa same day she asked me to come back by 3.00pm
to collect my visa.so be prepared you will get your visa same day all the best.
