The United States Embassy in Accra has announced the rescheduling of all visa appointments originally set for Monday, March 31, 2025, due to its observance of the Eid-Ul-Fitr holiday. 

The changes affect both immigrant and non-immigrant visa applicants, who have been given new dates for their interviews.

According to the Embassy, all immigrant visa appointments have been rescheduled for 7 am on Friday, April 4, 2025, while all non-immigrant visa appointments will now take place on the morning of Friday, April 11, 2025.
