I know that the word "before" can be used to mean "In front of" and when something happens before a particular time. For eg. :

I'm standing before you.

I'll come before you leave.

Now my question is can I use the sentence:

I Came before you

I was there before You

To mean that i came earlier than you? Or does it mean that I came in front of you? And I was there in front of you?

Thanks in Advance, Rishabh

Yes ! the sentences are correct.

I Came before you.

I was there before You

As you said in question you want to convey that you came earlier than him/her for that case I would advice you to use "ahead"

I came ahead of you.
