I’m a U.S citizen and he’s a Ghanaian citizen and we will be getting married soon and I would like to sponsor him to the U.S

I don't think that this will be a problem. He will need to apply for his fiance visa in Ghana once your fiance petition is approved. I suggest you work with an immigration attorney.
I'm wondering if staying out of the usa for roughly 4 months or more may jeopardize my pr card and have it revoked. I'm planning to work remotely and still work as an American.

Cannot stay out of the US for more than a year unless you apply for a reentry permit. I suggest you work with an immigration attorney
Dates for filling for EB2 (rest of the World) are 01 December 2022. Is it OK and safe to send my I-485 documents package to USCIS now? Or is it mandatory to wait until I meet the dates for filling in Visa bulletin?

USCIS posts whether to use the dates of filing or final action dates chart in filing the I-485. Consult in private with an immigration attorney to analyze how to move forward with your case
I have known him for a year. Would I be able to sponsor him to even visit temporarily or to immigrate? And if not, what options are available for him?
Thank you!

You can sponsor him for a green card so he can live with you in the US if you get married. Consult with an immigration attorney on how to go about this.

If you are a US citizen, you may file an I-130 and your parents can concurrently submit an adjustment of status application. I suggest you consult with an immigration attorney.
Hi. So my employer messed up the first Perm that they filed for me(although it was approved already) no I140 filed after. In the current work experience part of Perm, they mistakenly put one of the branches of our hospitals where I was not working. It was in West Virginia. I am currently working in... View More

They can use the PD of the first one if the I-140 was approved. Beneficiaries of approved I-140 petitions for the first, second and third categories may retain the priority dates of their approved petitions for any subsequently filed first, second and third category employment based petition.

If you stay outside the US for more than a year, the US government will assume that you have abandoned your lawful permanent resident status. You should apply for a reentry permit if you want to retain your green card.
