Becoming engaged while married can be a red flag, yes. This is particularly true in such a high fraud region of the world as sub-saharan Africa.

Yes it is a red flag. How much depends on several factors:

- are you a born or naturalised citizen? If naturalised, did you get citizenship through your first wife?

- How long were you separated?

- How did you meet your now fiancee?

You'll want to think this through with full knowledge of all factors including the time difference. Ghana has at least an additional year backlog for immigrant spouse interviews. I don't know what the backlog is for a fiancee visa. Check in the Regional forum if nobody answers here.

The strongest evidence of a bona fide relationship is always the documentable time you spend together in person. Regardless of which way you go, I would advise you to include an Evolution of Relationship Letter with your petition. You can explain the separation and divorce issues in that letter as well.

hey thanks for responding to my questions i went to Ghana and spent 2 months there and went back again in May for the engagement..we had a party and took lots of pictures with her family and my family and kids in it. we got joint checking accounts step up there in Ghana got detailed call logs, emails, skype i sent her money through western union a couple of times and sent her packages etc..all these infor i kept copies..Am planing on going back to Ghana this jan, and my dilemma is to go ahead and marry her and mail the I-130 to be files here because i will be there for 3 months..but was contemplating if i should go ahead and file the K1 visa and at least get a 2 month advantage and against waiting after jan.What do u think with this infor provided.

Sounds like you don't know the differences in the timeline yet. When you know that, your decision will be a more informed one. Please don't duplicate your public questions in Personal Messages. It doubles the work of responding and is inconsiderate.
