Not sure how can you get an unemployment of 30K, but let's assume that.

A person can only collect unemployment for a certain time between 6 month to a year. I would think that CO would want to see a co-sponsor with more stable income. Also don't forget you are dealing with pretty hard consulate, so I would recommend if you are using a co-sponsor try to find someone more stable just to give you a better feeling for your interview.

You need to ask this question in your country forum. Ghana is really hard to get through and you need specific answers from people going through that embassy. I very much doubt that they will accept unemployment as income from a sponsor for someone going through Ghana.

Seems like the unemployment benefits depend on the state the person lives in. So it is quite possible making 30K according to that source: http://fileunemployment.org/unemployment-benefits-comparison-by-state.

However as it was mentioned Ghana, might be an issue with this type of co-sponsor.
