At the moment, according to the visa wait time section on travel.state.gov student visa applicants in Accra have to wait 6 days for an interview appointment, while tourist visa applicants wait 30 days. So, they do try to prioritize students.

Answer 2

If he's in Ghana why doesn't he pick up the phone, call the US embassy and ask?

Answer 3

Golda,

It's all done online now.  I am not sure it matters much what time of the year, the place is always packed.  Your friend would have to book online, and then arrive at the embassy at the given time, with all pertinent information and fees.
