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

Too late, since you denied it in the petition.

This is more than a little ignorant of you to say when your next post accuses the OP of lying about his marital status.

 

Nah..the ignorant part of your statement was assuming that poor countries have been lying and the record keeping of the west is catching up to them.

 

I gave 2 options. Op could have lied or it could be the cultural aspect which I know of.

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

Nah..the ignorant part is assuming that there is more than the OP lying to get a tourist visa to the US fraudulently.

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.

If it was not, why the hell did you say in a form that you are married? WHO told you that you ARE married then? Do you realize that form IS a legal document? You screwed yourself up.

Because it is a misguided opinion that if you say you are married on the tourist visa application you will then have stronger ties to home country and thus improve your chance at approval.  Many do not take the time to think ahead (or as previously stated, count on the lack of technology in 3rd world countries) that this lie may come back to bite them in the future.  As we can see here the OP has been bitten.   Happens frequently

So the conclusion is simple: stupidity should be painful.

[Jojo92122 1,924]

Many people including my relatives in Vietnam do not have a problem with lying on legal forms.  They don't think it's a big deal or important.  There is always a fixer to help if there are problems.   I have relatives with 2 or 3 different birth certificates obtained at different times in their lives.  To them, it's just paper.  You can always have a redo if you lie on a previous legal form.

 

Once they get to the US, they slowly start learning the importance of one set of facts on all legal forms and keeping records.  They learn that there are no fixers and it's extremely hard to fix a lie or fix accidental inaccuracies in their records.

I'm as confused as heck

 

Married but not legally but is saying divorce papers can be provided to prove the marriage ended  - how can you possibly have a court issued divorce decree for a marriage that was never official?

 

I have to be honest and say that perhaps due to language differences the ops posts come across as his past lies have caught up with him and he is now adding more lies to try and get out of it.

 

I hope for his and his fiancées case this isn't what's happening as it will not have a happy ending

I'm sorry but it looks as though you may never get approved, when stated you were married on two different b1/b2 visa's and your weren't is really saying you lied twice to immigration! It's as simple as that and they have caught you in that lie twice so I don't see how you would ever get an approval on any visa you apply for, or if anyone applies for you. They are thinking that you just want to come to America by any means, if your soon to be wife wants to be with you daily I'm afraid she's gonna have to move to Ghana

Hi Mrs Bonsu!     How are you?  You might not remember me but we have spoken in the past about our cases.

 

Yes, I do believe this person will have to lawyer up....big time.

Hi, how are you, how's it going? I think the OP would be just losing money by getting a lawyer, the ones of us that have been to Ghana and have learned the culture understands what he's saying about marrying with the different cultures in Ghana, but this won't work with the American embassy in ghana, and your never supposed to lie to a consular, and this embassy is already tough on us that have everything together and are having a hard time getting approved, I just don't see where he could win on this, and reading his response through the threads I think he just want to get here by any means necessary which could end up hurting the woman that's in love with him, who knows for sure that he won't do to her what he's trying to do at the embassy which is lie 🤔, I love ghana and I love my Ghanian husband and I would like for Ghanian's to come to the US to be with there spouse, but we all know everyone can't come, sorry but that's how it is.

I just wanted to add something that may or may not help the OP and others looking - There ARE forms you can fill out to prove you are single, depending on your country: Some sort of notarized "single status affidavit". Some can show tax returns showing single status. Some also call it a "statement in lieu of certificate of non-impediment to marriage". Basically stating "There is nothing that would impede me from being married. Maybe there's something similar for your country you can obtain?

 

However, trying to commit fraud is an entirely different subject.... they usually don't take that lightly, even if you're trying to be honest about it now, and usually ignorance does not make you innocent.

My only question would be.... If you weren't legally married in the past, and knew that, why would you claim you were? That's what threw all the red flags. The USCIS assumes that something further is going on, and the denials will follow you because of this. It's not going to be easy unless you can prove a marriage never happened or that it was legally dissolved now through some kind of affidavit. 

 

An immigration lawyer may be able to help.
