Do you have all of the required and recommended evidence with you there? Ghana is not an easy embassy so I would strongly recommend you 'front load' your petition with as much evidence as you can think of. Don't assume that a copy of a marriage certificate and a few photos will do the job for Ghana.

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

My husband and I were married in Ghana a few months ago; can I apply for the I-130 petition here while staying only on a visitor’s visa and just send it to the Chicago Lock Box? Or, do I have to return to California in order to legally file it with the service center there?

Now  I130 is available online !!

Available to be filed online.  The I-130 has been downloadable online for as long as I can remember.

USCIS announced that petitioners can now complete and file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, online. Online filing allows individuals to submit forms electronically, check case status, and receive USCIS notices. Individuals must create a USCIS onlineaccount to fill the form online. Cite as AILA Doc.

Yes really.  The I-130 is NOW available to be filed online.  Until recently, it was only a downloadable form.

Available online and available to be filed online do not mean the same thing.  Available online is NOT new.  Available to be FILED ONLINE.....IS....new.
