also make sure that when the time comes for the interview that the Ghanian passport is up to date it has to have a full year time left on it in order to take the exam and get the report in a sealed envelope for the embassy and then they will also make the interview date and send the letter to the American that filed for the petition of a non immigrant to come to America

He just got his passport January 31 this year

my wife and I married in Ghana Accra and we had all our evidence needed as you have but make sure you fill out the I 130 each one of you and the G325 each one of you and each one of you have a passport style photo with your printed name on the back of each persons photo make extra copies of those and then pay all your online fees through the USCIS .state .gov and then it takes some time to process the paperwork send copies of you two together as a solid marriage and a copy of the marriage license and read the instructions very carefully and when they process that they will send you a letter in the states you are the one who has to file all the paperwork and then you pay the fee for the DS260 form and then the process will take 11 weeks from there and make sure you file on line the fees my wife arrived here in America back in Feburary and her social security card and her green card came automatically

be sure to send 3 years of your tax returns as proof of support 

  

thanks so much and congratulations!!!

You are going to marry on next trip?....I misread your first post.

 

yes my second trip

Just now, missileman said:

I think you are on the right path.  You probably know that the Ghana consulate can be a steep hill for some couples.  I'm not sure how many times you have been there, but a lot of time together is certainly better.....Good Luck.

He shouldn't  have to repay, he can just go back and show the error, unfortunately,  the turn around time for a correction may become the real issue. 

Does he have to go all the way back to Accra??

They spelled my fiance name wrong on his passport!...Do he have to pay again and start over???

U better make more visits before you file. I was going to get married on the first visit and VJ got on me good...lol but im glad I listened. Ghana is very big on face to face time

We have decided to wsit and he was ok wirh that..thanks everyone..this is a.learning experience 

Hello VJ,

I am going to Ghana in January for 10 days and decided to go in November for Thanksgiving for another 10 days. Can I apply for a single entry visa each trip or a multiple entry visa for each??

I highly suggest that you please go back and read the replies especially from @NigeriaorBust and @O&GForever -- marrying on the first visit is not in your best interest (for visa or personal happiness).

 

Best to you in your decision and journey. I hope that all works out for you. Take good care.

Ok thank you

I think you are not listening what people tell you. TAKE THE LOSS AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BEFORE YOU MARRY.

Ok

So we already paid for the marriage license ..i know it was foolish before researching no other plans yet are paid......so do we take a loss or can we get married but I come back more times and visit and wait to file until we have enough visits?

Speaking from personal experience (as a couple with multiple red flags), we did not think of marriage prior to our first meeting, though we felt love for another and developed a bond that was unreal. We knew by the second meeting that we could not think of being without one another. We got married on the 3rd trip and I made 3 more trips after the wedding.

 

I also stayed 4-8 weeks on each trip I made, so we spent ample time with each other experiencing all the shades of "coupledom" -- from doing the dishes to finances.  It really helps to get to know the person. 

 

Besides the grueling visa journey you will endure, none of us here want to see or hear things not working out because of not ample face time spent. Marriage in itself is not a sure thing even when all the stars align, adding more to it can push the limits even further.

 

Above statement is just for your sake  

 

As for the visa journey part -- the only time I *might* see this working for Ghana is if you were to stay and live with your spouse for a long period of time. 6-8 months perhaps...

 

The face time is very important, again seems so especially for Ghana. I would bank on 3 visits minimum and then visiting 2-3 more times after marriage. Collect all boarding passes, tickets when you guys travel and try to submerge yourself in his culture if you can.

 

By the way, if I may ask (please ignore if you rather not share) -- what is your background like? Religion, family traditions etc.? Is there an age difference? 

 

My best to you!

 

Both Christians i am 33 he is 24

Is he 20 years younger than you? Have seen a trillion Ghana/Nigarian/North Africa cases like that. Most of them did not end well for the USC.

He's 24 im 33

Thanks to everyone..appreciate your help

You may think you're in love but truly, you'll need to spend time in person in order to know if you guys are a good fit and really want to be married to each other.

 

As others have said, Ghana is not an easy embassy, doesn't matter if you're attempting a K-1 or CR-1. Best is to meet multiple times, in Ghana and maybe outside of Ghana. I doubt it's easy for him to get a B2 to visit the US so you can probably scratch that off the list.

 

If you really want to proceed with a US visa application for your fiance, make sure to start gathering evidence every time you meet.

Why would a b2 be difficult for him to visit me?
