Your USC wife must be your primary sponsor.  If she cannot meet the income requirement to sponsor you, she may ask another USC to be a joint sponsor but she will still be the primary sponsor.

 

Even if your wife has a joint sponsor, she still needs to establish US domicile as the point of pursuing a spouse visa is to bring spouses together in the US.  If she does not intend to move to the US, why are you even pursuing a CR1 visa?

The OP did not indicate his wife was not moving to the US with him.  He asked about sponsorship and whether she could file the petition from Pakistan.  She, or she and a qualified joint sponsor is the answer to the sponsorship question.  YES, she can file from Pakistan is the answer to the other question.  He has been accurately informed that she must move to the US "with" or "before" he does.  Either is OK.

You are right -- the OP didn't say that his wife is not moving to the US with him.  In his other thread on this topic, he mentioned that his wife can't move back to the US.  But of course, she can change her mind.

Or maybe he just meant, can't move to the US "now" or "before he does".  English as a second language is often insufficiently precise as to detail.

Well, what i am  trying to make sure is, if she dosent have a domicile or as such any ties to show she will restablish the domicile, she cant be a sponsor then, and if she cant be a sponspr then she cant fill the petition for me unless she goes back to US and establish a domicile and pay her taxes and all

Since she is the one who has petitioned for your CR1 visa, she is required to be the primary financial sponsor and submit an I-864. Then your uncle will be the cosponsor and submit an I-864 to go along with hers.

I also believe the co-sponsor must be a US citizen.  With her family there is there someone in the US that she can use as a co-sponsor?

USC or LPR with US domicile.

She needs a qualified joint sponsor for the financial sponsorship.  She does not need an actual domicile, just a plan to establish one.  Often that plan is to live with family or close friends until you get a job and find a place of your own to live.  If she has not been working, she would not need to file any tax returns.  There is no tax on no income.  If she IS working, and earning under $100,000 a year, she would not have any taxes to pay, but at least three tax returns to "file".  This can be done from Pakistan.

 

I'm guessing you are her means of support.  If so, and you both want to move to the USA, you can accomplish it, if you have willing, qualified joint sponsor for the financial side of things, or if you have enough liquid assets (savings) of your own, to qualify.
