Hi Teni,
I submitted my app on June 13, got it returned by Miss. CPC in Aug and this was due to a missing form..had it resent mid-sept..was sent to Accra on Oct 3..app was in process as at Nov 16..got an email yesterday that hubby's visa was ready for pick-up..I still feel like I am day dreaming, thot it was a spam email but I believed cos Ephyssy got the same email and the exact date we did our medicals was in the content and by the way I pd the full $1040 at the time I started the app. I was told that if u pay the full fee, it hastens the processing time..am not too sure if this is true..I am super happy and excited that we will be spending the new year 2geda..I wish everyone that still has their app in process to keep praying and never give up..GOD IS GOOD ;D. it seems Accra is changing for the better
