About how much does it cost for a Ghana National to get a Passport & Visa in order to come to the US?

Ghanaian citizens do need visas to visit the US, and won't be allowed on the plane without one. The visa application fee is $131. You can check this out at the embassy website, ghana.usembassy.gov. Edit: Yak Rider and David are quite correct. If you're being asked to put up a lot of money for a passport and visa application, it is certainly a scam. Also, there is no physical exam for a tourist visa.

You are dealing with a scam. There is no pretty lady from Ghana you met on the Internet. Do not send money. A Ghana passport is the equivalent of $40. The application fee for a US visa is $131. After you send this money there will be another problem and you'll need to send more money. She'll need a physical exam or a police clearance. Then, she'll need "show money" to get out of the country and she'll promise to give to back to you upon arrival in the US. Then, she'll get "stuck" in London or Amsterdam and you'll need to wire more money to her travel agent to clear up the problem. Just don't send money.

Lots of warning for the gullible ..probable find her photo on the first site http://www.delphifaq.com/outside_the_cube_dating_scams.htm http://www.osac.gov/Reports/report.cfm?contentID=39785
