Contrary to the perception that the US makes it difficult for Ghanaians who wish to travel to that country to do so, the US Embassy in Ghana has stated that Ghanaians are welcome but should use the right processes to obtain visas.
Press Attaché Sarah Veldhuizen Stealey explained: “We want Ghanaians to travel to the United States and want them to apply for visas the right way. … Don’t rely on visa fixers.”
Her comments come in the wake of the announcement that some 7,000 undocumented Ghanaians are at various stages of deportation from the US.
Ms Stealey confirmed the impending deportation of the Ghanaians but was quick to add that those involved had committed various offences including flouting immigration laws, hence the deportation.
She dispelled the perception that Ghanaians in general were being targeted for deportation, emphasising that law breakers would not be allowed to remain in the US.
Ms Stealey explained that once an individual is able to prove that he or she will return to Ghana after their stay in the US, the embassy would have no issues granting a visa.
“It is up to the individual to demonstrate that and that may mean significant financial ties, long term employment, and family ties [back home] among others,” she explained in an interview with the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC).

Macbeth...
Total rubbish
Phuck the Babylon country..
I don't know if my comment will go far. Is really bad to be black. A white man will just take his passport and get some ticket and fly to our mother land for free without any interference.fire burn our leaders.
U guys should learn from United Kingdom. Why should you ask for documents without looking through? UK will show you some respect by going through your documents and offer you a visa or not. For me this how it should be but the US posture has always been lets make money out of them. The extortion is too much
commenting about document are not collected or viewed makes no sense.The interviewer ask you questions and base on your answers they might ask you some document just to be sure you have them.Just one answer will make them refuse your visa or approved your application without looking at a single document....You can contact me for more advice freely if you wish.....0*2*0*8*8*1*6*8*8*1.All the best
stop lying madam..which other strong ties do you require? Good job, schooling, evidence of leave etc yet you refused me visa so let our ears rest mtchew
I have been there twice and regarding what she said why do they refuse to go through the documents I submitted. however one thing i don't get is on top of all that, they wont explain to you why they have refused you the visa, they only give you a general letter which doesn't say anything. You try the right channel to get a visa and you are refused why won't i go through the back door for it provided i can pay for it. They should just stop behaving funny like their president and give out visas after all the huge sums of money they make out of visa application in a day from Ghanaians is not small.
Madam please ***barred word***
My mother in was refused visa cos she has no strong ties in Ghana that she will not return which is absurd. After going through the right procedure you are refused why won't people come through fictitious means
