I'm trying to put together a plan to marry my girl from Belarus in Poland and then bring her to the US on a spousal visa. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated on what I would need since I was married before, where I can go to plan for this event  in Poland, and any issues my fiance may have with obtaining a Schengen visa to Poland so we can get married.  I know...a lot of stuff in that sentence. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Look at the guide on this website for spouse visa IR/CR1. And also the USCIS website for the same 

This is a v comprehensive guide

- My partner is a Polish citizen who lives in the USA, I live in Belarus. A few years ago, I was looking for information on this topic a little, you need to apply for a marriage license in Poland and this is not 3 days, as in Belarus, but about a month. But during the corona, everything could change, so you need to look for information on Polish sites.
- You can also read about online marriage in Utah. After it, you will need a personal meeting to confirm the marriage.
- My boyfriend is afraid to come to Belarus, although I can't understand the reasons. Your girlfriend can go to the registry office (ЗАГС) in Belarus and find out information about marriage with a foreigner there. But in this case, you will have to apply for a visa to Belarus, unfortunately, if you do not have another citizenship, then you cannot come without a visa.

No specific knowledge about Poland here, but anyone thinking about a third-country wedding for immigration purposes needs to look into what's required for two foreigners to legally marry in that country.

 

In a lot of places, it's not a simple and straightforward process (in particular for this subforum, legally marrying a foreigner in Russia takes a while and is only really doable if the foreigner is also living in Russia or otherwise free to spend a month or more there or to make multiple trips to Russia with a span of a couple months), hence the popularity of the Utah zoom marriages here on VisaJourney.
