US Minister to Ghana, Virginia E. Palmer
SomeGhanaians who are hitched to Americans have begged the US consulate in Accra to quick track the visa application cycle to empower them to join their mates.
Some of them said their American life partners have conceived an offspring however they have not focused on their infants for more than two years. Others additionally said their accomplices are wiped out and have to take care of them.

We are hitched to Americans and the manner in which the visa cycle is going, is very lengthy, and as a wedded man or lady, there are a few things you do with your accomplice, everything you are not getting any more.
"Likewise, a portion of our mates are debilitated, some have conceived an offspring that they need their companions to be with them which we are not getting that honor all on the grounds that the consulate is expressing that there are excesses and there are Coronavirus cases.
On the off chance that you take a gander at West Africa for example, Nigeria is in 2022, Benin is in 2022, Togo is in 2022 and they have less Coronavirus cases however just Ghana is where the issue is.
Thus, we don't have the foggiest idea, we are begging the Minister and the whole specialists to show kindness toward us since Togo are not having overabundance, Benin and Cote d'Ivoire are more than us however they are moving yet Ghana isn't moving."
He added "So we are begging them that they ought to have compassion on us for us to likewise know how it feels to accompany our life partners. Them, know how it feels and the Representative herself has hitched a Worker previously, so they all know the directs and everything.
"We are begging them to treat equity with kindness, that is all the very thing we are looking for. That they ought to take care of us and work on our cases too in light of the fact that we are worn out on the long pausing. Some are hanging tight for two years, three years, four years, which is terrible, you need to hang tight for a really long time before you see your companion which is very disappointing.
"It is valid you can allow your companion to come however not every one of them can come since some are working, in light of their work they can't come so we are begging the consulate to likewise check out at the life partners and work on our case.
We are Ghanaians and we are hitched to Americans, we can say that we are Americans since marriage cause you to turn into a resident of another country, we are like them, we are Americans, so they ought to come and take a gander at Americans who are hitched to Americans and help us since we are burnt out on lengthy pausing."
One more representative for the gathering, Amoako Richard clarified that earlier for the episode of the Coronavirus pandemic, one would just hang tight for a very long time and get the meeting letter as a component of the visa interaction however right now, he said, one needs to trust that north of two years will get only the letter.
"Essentially, Americans as such trust in the family framework and afterward we are just trying to say that everything revolves around family since you can't get hitched to somebody who lives somewhere else, significant distance marriage, you have kids, you have spouses there, you have husbands around there and afterward the basic reassurance, mentally, it is really occurring to us.
"How might you feel when your better half is abroad and afterward your significant other has conceived an offspring and for about a little while years, you haven't even seen your child or your girl, you haven't even contacted your child or little girl, you don't feel how the person seems to be?
Everything revolves around video calls yet video calls are not what we need, what we need is that we will be together, plan the future since you can't design the future when both of you are in discrete nations, your future can never be brilliant. Besides, it is likewise making a many individuals here in Ghana not ready to design their lives quite well. This is the situation, you realize that you should join your better half or spouse or little girl.
"There are certain individuals with us who have kids who are debilitated, it is difficult, American framework has confidence in families and as they trust in families they ought to permit us or assist us with going through the entire framework so we will likewise in our companions so we will all have that American dream that better American family framework they have been continuously teaching about.
"It is only a request that we are making to the Respectable Minister that she ought to attempt however much as could be expected to quick track the interaction so individually we can proceed to join our life partners."
He added "We are in excess of 500, practically we all are sitting tight for interview letters, a few of us have hung tight for two years, 25 months, 26 months.
Under typical conditions, before Coronavirus, you could sit tight for like two months and you get your meeting letter and you go for a meeting and given the visa and afterward you join your life partner however presently one needs to sit tight for more than twenty months."
