When you email the US visa services with a question, you get an email back that they won't respond because they're too busy (why they don't put that on the website, I don't understand). Same with Ghana embassy.
But, I started to have a little mini-panic attack when I looked at the Liberia embassy website and it said that the type of visas they grant is very limited (they were closed until rather recently).
So, I emailed them.
AND THEY EMAILED ME BACK! "We can interview K-1 applicants as long as we have an approved petition from USCIS."
That just made my day. They have the personnel to respond to email; hopefully they have the personnel to expedite Dayton's visa! I also want to hurry through while the country's stable ... I mean, I really hope that it stays stable and gets even stronger ... but I really don't want him and the girls there if violence breaks out again and the embassy folks are helicoptered out.
I also looked up numbers on fiance visas - they're not a common visa, which is why the immigration officer I talked to AND the immigration lawyer haven't seen many. I found the timeline with some pretty graphs this weekend, but can't find it again to post it now. I think it said the Texas Service Center's visa process is usually 99 days - but now I just read 6-9 months. And, hopefully we're on the short end because he's not somebody I paid an agency for (think Russian mail order bride).
Sigh.
