How to Choose the Right U.S. Immigration Consultant in Ghana

Thinking About Moving to the U.S.? Start with the Right Guide

For many people in Ghana, the dream of relocating to the United States is real and so are the risks, which is why you need a thorough plan to make your big move come true. Whether you're pursuing an EB-3 employment-based green card or another immigration route, who you trust with your application can make or break your journey.

Unfortunately, Ghana has seen a rise in unlicensed agents and so-called “consultants” who promise fast-track visas or guaranteed approvals. People believe these so-called "consultants" and they ignore the red flags, leading to wasting money and time on an application that was doomed to fail.

If you’re serious about moving to the U.S., choosing the right immigration consultant in Ghana is your first critical step.

Why Your Consultant Choice Matters

A legitimate U.S. immigration journey involves complex paperwork, documentation, embassy procedures, and timelines that stretch across months or years. The right consultant:

• Ensures your application is complete and accurate

• Guides you through each phase (from job offer to visa interview)

• Helps you avoid preventable delays or denials

• Offers honest, realistic expectations

• Keeps you updated and informed at every step

In contrast, a bad “agent” can cost you time, money, and your shot at a green card.

Red Flags to Watch for in Ghana

Here are common warning signs that someone is not a legitimate immigration consultant:

• “Guaranteed U.S. visa” promises – No one can guarantee approval.

• No transparency about costs – Reputable firms provide breakdowns.

• No license or registered office – Avoid consultants operating only through WhatsApp or Facebook.

• Pushy or secretive behavior – Especially if they discourage questions.

• Unclear process explanations – If they can't describe the full EB-3 or EB-5 journey, walk away.

You need clarity when choosing an agent and they need to provide clarity to your immigration process. Without clear and transparent communication, you cannot build trust or progress towards getting your visa granted.

What a Real Consultant does

A trustworthy consultant or firm will:

• Be registered and have a clear track record

• Offer consultations (either free or structured)

• Explain your available and not push just one path

• Answer your questions patiently

• Put everything in writing

At InvestMigrate, we’ve worked with hundreds of West African clients. We believe in direct communication, verified partners, and transparent support throughout the process.

Questions Every Ghanaian Applicant Should Ask

Before you move forward with any consultant, ask these key questions:

1. Are you affiliated with U.S. immigration lawyers or licensed recruiters?

2. Can you explain each step of the visa process in detail?

3. How do you help me gather my documents and prepare for interviews?

4. What are all the costs involved and when do I pay them?

5. Can I speak to a past Ghanaian client you've helped?

   
   

If the answers feel vague or defensive, that’s a sign to look elsewhere.

Local Knowledge Matters

A good immigration consultant has to understand the U.S. system and how it works from Ghana. For example:

• The U.S. embassy in Accra handles all EB-3 interviews for Ghanaians

• Police certificates must be issued through CID Headquarters in Accra

• Certain Ghanaian academic credentials may require extra verification

• Medical exams must be done by a U.S.-approved panel physician and it needs to be booked weeks in advance

These details matter because if they are not addressed carefully, you will bear the consequences. Your consultant needs to guide you through them in a timely way manner and not leave you guessing.
