INA 221(g) has a very broad definition. Basically, the US is not required to issue a visa to anyone; moreover, the US is not required to justify its decision either. So what you could do is go back to Ghana, marry your fiance there, and file I-130 for her as your spouse now. You will have to start over, as this is a completely new and different process, and you will have to supply proof of your income to show your ability support your wife in the US. But you may have a much better luck if you go this route - unless, of course, there is more to your story. For example, sometimes even close family members, direct relatives are denied an immigrant visa if the US believes that those relatives are doing or were doing something illegal, have certain criminal record or have (or are perceived to have) any ties to terrorism. If yours is a simple case that got denied for no apparent reason (perhaps they did not believe that you are working and if so, you cannot afford to financially support your fiance, and so she cannot come to the US), marry her and then file for the wife.
