I think the process in Accra has to be revamped! It appears to be a different Visa office from others!
There needs to be an investigation of this office. I think there are way too many applications there. I also fully support the Auditor General's comments about immigration and that that too much energy goes into rejecting visas and not enough inquiry into the visas actually given.
Accra wasted precious time in our lives. Proper inquiry was not made into information in our file and instead, needlessly assessing the genuineness of our relationship took a year to get to. The interview was a waste of time. Then another 14 months was spent verifying our history and background checking. The grounds my husband was rejected on weren't discussed at all in the interview. How is this justified? I'm also disgusted by the mocking tone of the rejection letter, inviting me to appeal the decision if I 'felt that some aspect of procedural fairness wasn't met'. Are they kidding me? Of course there were faults in the procedural fairness!
I also wonder every day about why we are asked to update our family situation if it changed. It didn't matter one bit that ours changed. I'm very disappointed in this very black and white, inhumane and far too political method in determining the direction of our lives.
I wonder how often the visa officers change. Does anyone know?
