For the affidavit of support (I-134), the petitioner (USC) must show that her household income is equal to or higher than 100% of the U.S. poverty level for the household size. (The household size includes you, your dependents, any relatives living with you, and the fiance you are sponsoring.)

It is not only money in the bank, they should provide sources of income - such as jobs or business. ITR, W2s will also be required from sponsors.

NO, you cannot have someone from your place sponsor for you. It should be the USC or her relatived if they are willing. I am not sure if Ghana accepts co-sponsor. Check on that.

Assets are times 3 so 5,000 isnt enough and it's 125% unless your petitioner is in military. If you don't meet this, some embassies allow a co sponser for k1.

The affidavit of support uses the household income..

So first, use your fiance's gross income to match with the federal poverty guideline for her household size (if it is just her than you should look at 2 person household amount)

If her income for the past 3 years is not enough,

then you can add her mother's income through joint sponsor but the household size will include anyone in household.
