Documenting traditional marriages and divorces

My wife had her citizenship interview today and will hopefully have her oath ceremony in the near future. We have started thinking about filing petitions for her family members and I was wondering if anyone in here could share their experience with documenting traditional marriages and divorces?

On the State Department's Reciprocity Schedule for Ghana it says that you can use a "Customary marriage certificate," but it says that "[t]he application for the registration of the marriage must be made within three months of the marriage ceremony." My parents-in-law were traditionally married in the 80's, so it would seem to be too late to register. Is their only option to also get married civilly? This is what it the State Department's Reciprocity Schedule for Ghana says "Persons married under customary law who subsequently wish to marry under civil or ordinance law must obtain a civil marriage certificate which reflects the words "married under customary law" in the space provided for "condition."" So have them do a civil marriage?

My wife's sister's situation is even more complicated, she is divorced from a traditional marriage. The State Department's Reciprocity Schedule for Ghana says "Documentation of the dissolution of a customary marriage is a decree, issued by a High Court, District Court, or Circuit Court along with a statutory declaration by the couples families, stating that the marriage in question was dissolved in accordance with customary law. You may find a record of the dissolution of a customary marriage on the reverse of the customary marriage certificate." How can this be recorded on the reverse of the customary marriage certificate if there is no certificate. In addition, what if the other ex-husband's family isn't willing to cooperate?

I feel like there are a lot of headaches in the future. Someone please tell me this isn't as daunting as it seems! I'd appreciate hearing any personal experiences. Thanks!

Hello guys, please any help will be grateful. I went for my interview August 25th, VO said he needed more time to process my case, took my passport, Scholarship letter and I-20 and gave a white paper with no documents requested. After 5 days first update came, on the 2nd of this month too another update came on CEAC. Since then there's been no update. My profile on USdocs too shows Document delivery Information, I don't know what's going on but CEAC still says refused. Any idea what's going on, and is there any possibility of getting my visa issued.

Thanks

Second K1 Different Person/Country & Proof of Stay

Hello everyone, my fiance and I will be sending our application hopefully this week. I have two last questions to make sure everything is good. This is my second time filing for a K1 Visa(different person & country). My first relationship did not work out. I sent off my first K1 January 07, 2019, it was approved April 2019 he interview that June of 2019, and it went into administrative processing for almost a year. During that time, I noticed a lot of red flags and that this was not the relationship I thought I wanted. A few days after realizing that, I actually received a letter that it was denied(confirmation). It's been over 2 years since my past k1 filing/approval date, I'm wondering do I need any other documents to provide? Also, on the I-129F, it asks if the application was approved. It was approved by USCIS, but it was denied at the Embassy stage after administrative processing for almost a year. Would that still be considered an approval, even though it was eventually denied?

My second question is; I stayed at my fiance's apartment majority of the time during our stay. When we went to go visit his parents/family in his hometown, we rented an Airbnb for 4 nights. I have the receipt for the Airbnb. Do I need to provide any other information besides letting them know that I stayed at my fiance's apartment during my stay( besides the days we went home to visit his parents/home)?

Thank you in advanced for any responses
