Congrats Dauaye. The questions your raised are quite tricky to answer directly in my opinion.
There are gaps in the entire stuff - Accra should have been informed earlier with concrete steps taken from your end.
When you got married, you should have informed Accra formally, by sending across the notarised marriage certificate, filled a separate form for your spouse and paid the right fees of $550.. This would have made Accra to have an updated record concerning your application, in readiness for medicals now.
My opinion will be that you go ahead and inform Accra immediately - Accra will advise you on what steps to take, whilst at the same time complete all the forms now for yourself, and go for medicals, get police clearance report and pay for landing permit.
whilst still waiting for Accra to advise you on your spouse's matter - also go ahead to fill out your spouse details of the requested forms but will not submit yet, until you have been advised by Accra.
I am aware that Accra will only send the medical forms for your spouse only when they have recognised your spouse as a co-applicant to your PRV request
As earlier said, pls going ahead to complete the process (pay fees and complete forms) as if your spouse is already recognised by Accra, may not get the appropriate response from Accra. Good to address this issue, step by step. Inform Accra, wait for their response, go ahead and complete your own process, the feedback from Accra on your spouse will help determine next step on this matter. Your delay in informing Accra about your wedding formally by completing the necessary forms and paying for the initial fees will only delay the issusance of your PRV by few months. Good luck. This is just my opinion. My other colleagues can contribute to this matter.
