Too late, since you denied it in the petition.

Because I was not legally married and I didn't have prove of the marriage,since it was a traditional thing I don't have legal documents.dont know if there are chances because it was under section 221(g),if am able to prove I was not married before the petition,will there be chances

Actually, 3 times, since they said no to previous marriages on the petition, too...that will be the hardest to overcome, since USCIS would never have approved it without divorce information, so it's automatic grounds to return the petition.

That's true the denial sheet given to me says I was ineligible under section 221(g) of the INA,when I checked it said that denial comes when documents are incomplete,so maybe when I am able to provide i was divorced it might help my case

Well good luck reading all this just gives me a headache, I really think you are in a hole that you might not get out off.  Maybe get a lawyer because what you have in your hands is a BIG MESS.

I have gotten a lawyer now so just waiting on the next step he will ask me to take

Well you shot yourself in a foot. All you can do now is somehow provide a divorce certificate then get married and file for the spouse visa. Also keep your fingers crossed for not getting a permanent ban for entering US because Immigration takes lies like that seriously. 

The marriage was not bounded by law and don't have legal documents showing I was married,hence can't get a divorce certificate to prove that fact.

You can't make it go away.

 

You tell the US Embassy that you lied before and hope for the best.  Continuing the lie is not smart.

Well will get say that and see the outcome of it,that might result in a ban but I will face it

That's your problem, isn't it?  Your lies catching up to you.  How do you provide a legal divorce document when you lied about being married because you though it would help you fraudulently get a tourist visa?  You can't, so you are unlikely to get a visa to the US.

Yes I get that but am not married now,what is the best step to take the married issue off the way?

I think you either 1. lied somewhere or  2. this is something you had not much control over.

1. You either lied that you were married on your tourist visa just to improve your chances of getting approved. Probably because saying that you are married was to help show ties to Ghana.

 

2. It is the cultural aspect of marriage where you were not legally married by the govt standards but everyone knew you were married but you had no court document to show that you were married.

 If you divorced customarily then get evidence from that scope. Witness sworn statements.

I am not sure if you can divorce in court if the marriage was never registered.

But regardless, you need show proof that you are divorced.

 

I would suggest you legally get married and file CR-1 BUT before you refile, make sure to find solution to this issue because it will come up again at the interview.

Good luck!

Thanks for all your comments,if I provide a decree that I am divorced and get legal documents showing will it be of any help,when my fiancée and I get married and file for a spousal visa.

my brother how can you do such a mistake knowing Ghana has a high fraud cases .... so are you married now with a marriage certificate if yes then let her file for i130 if not you have to marry to obtain a certificate and file an i130 but please dont file k1 again you will still be denied which you going to waste money too

 

So getting married and filing the spouse will be better,but if it comes up that what prove I have that I have been divorced?

WHAT???

Can I still reapply for the K1 since am single now and put the correct information there and justify it,that was what I was trying to ask

Just from what you posted I can see why you were denied. You have made it very difficult for a CO to believe if you are married or not. All of this multiple filings and putting status that aren't true are coming back to haunt you now. Plus you are working with one of the most difficult embassy.

 

If you continue with claiming false information you will be at risk if having a permanent ban from the US. Always tell the truth. There is no "kind of" married. Either you are or you are not. Since it is on record of you putting married on file and the CO noticed it, then filing another K1 will lead to another denial. You can get married and file a spousal visa but that does not guarantee an approval. At some point you may have to explain why you were falsifying immigration documents by claiming you were married. 

 

A spousal visa takes a year if the spouse is a US citizen. It takes almost 2 years if the petitioner is a permanent resident (green card holder).

Thanks for your response,I really appreciate on the other hand if reapply for the K1 and then state I was married before but divorced,the reason been that the marriage was not bonded by law,but since I have not been there at since 2014 it's still there as married whiles am not married now when I was applying for the K1,my fiancé parents really believe in tradition and it's hard for some to come down to ghana for us to have a court wedding and if there is a possibility for them coming,how soon can they come so we can have the court wedding so we can file.

My K1 visa was denied and wanted to know the best way to address it again,met my fiancé in 2013,but before then I had already applied for a B1/B2 in which I stated I was married,in 2013 I applied again for the B1/B2 and still denied, the marriage was not a legal marriage but I stated on the form married in my previous applications that was in 2013,2014 when I applied for the B1/B2.we applied in 2016 for the k1 and was approved and have my interview few days ago and was denied,CO said how was I married in 2013/2014 and was still with my fiancé of which intend to marry now,mean while it was over but since it was not binding by law didn't have documents to prove it was no,more.Another thing was,filling the form the question that says have you been married before we put no?and that is where I think the issue came from.Now my question is,should we re apply for the K1 and correct that error or get married and apply for spousal,if so how soon can we get married and then how long will it take to get approved,sorry it was long...any help will be much appreciated.
