Hello expert out there,

i am a Togolese national and living in Ghana,i am yet to get my resident permit.

i am engaged to a US citizen and she will be in soon for us to register our mariage and go to the states for the nuptial day.

she is eager to stay awhile with me while we are working out the papers.

my conerns are divers.

CAN SHE START WORKING THE PAPRES BEFORE COMING TO ME?

WHAT DOCUMENTS SHOULD GET READY WHEN SHE COMES TO GHANA?

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET THE VISA SINCE SHE MIGHT GO BACK FOR HER JOB?

thank

Welcome. You came to the right place. May I suggest you and your beloved both begin by reading the guides here. Just go to the top of any page and click on the word guides.

Yes, she can start working on the papers before she comes to Ghana. Think in terms of 9 months to a year from filing the first petition to obtaining the visa. Sometimes it takes a little less time than that range and sometimes considerably longer.

Your situation isn't entirely clear from your post. So I am going to answer based on the assumption that you and your fiance will be legally married soon in the US, that she will return to Ghana with you, and that you want a CR1 visa.

She cannot file anything until you are married and have proof of the marriage (in the US, this is a marriage certificate not just the marriage license). She should then file the I-130 with corresponding documents before going to Ghana with you. To see what documents she needs, read the IR1/CR1 visa guide and the I-130 instructions.

The original post isn't entirely clear but I believe the intention is for the USC to travel to Ghana for the legal marriage. I'm suggesting they prepare the papers in advance and complete them as much as possible while she is in Ghana. Since she will be returning, she can mail the petition or petitions from Ghana or mail them when she returns. They still need to start with the guides.
