I'm 4 months 2 weeks into this process but I please need advice for a friend. My friend is a Ghanaian and married to a Ghanaian man who is a Green Holder and living in the U.S.A. they have been married for 5 years and have 2 kids. The lady is here in Ghana with the kids whiles the husband says he is going through the process.The husband did Birth Abroad documents(U.S.A Birth Certificate and Passport)for the less than 1 year kid during his last vissit to Ghana and now told the wife he is comming for the less than 1 year kid to U.S.A because USCIS says they want to see the kid as evidence before approving her visa. This does not sound well for me so please help me so that i can help her. My husband is U.S.C. so I don't know about Green Card Holders.He want to take the last born and live the wife and the first born.

That story is very confusing and has not truth as far as immigration goes. USCIS would not need to see the child as evidence.

A Green Card holder does not do a report of birth abroad. A US citizen can report a birth abroad to give the child US citizenship.

The story that you are sharing sounds like the man is now a US citizen and wants to take the younger child to the US.

The last child is having U.S.A passport and birth certificate. He did it for her at the U.S.A. Embassy in Ghana during his last vissit. So does that mean he is now a U.S.A citizen?

USCIS would need to see the child's Consular Report of Birth Abroad as evidence, not the kid. To get a Report of Birth Abroad, your friend's husband must be a U.S. citizen. If so, the child is already a U.S. citizen.

The last child is having U.S.A passport and birth certificate. He did it for her at the U.S.A. Embassy in Ghana during his last vissit. So does that mean he is now a U.S.A citizen?

If the child has a U.S. passport and a consular report of birth abroad, he is a U.S. citizen. To obtain those, the child's father must have become a U.S. citizen.
