US Immigration from Pakistan

CR1 US CITIZEN ISLAMABAD EMBASSY

PLEASE HELP, ANYONE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROCESS

Im beyond confused right now. After around 3 months of waiting for my documents to be reviewed and approved at NVC, they were finally reviewed.... but I was given an RFE

The summary of the issue is, I added my brother as a household member to combine his income with mine to meet the requirements. My brother is married and filed taxes jointly with his spouse the past 2 years. His spouse has little to no income as she is a stay at home wife, but JUST TO BE SAFE i added her as a household member as well because I did not want to have any issues at the time of an interview in the future. I did not want the embassy to be able to say where is your brothers spouses info since her name is also on his tax transcripts.

The RFE was given because they said that my brothers wife does not qualify as a household member and to add her as a joint sponsor.

My question is a few things:

1. All my other documents were accepted and submitted, so do I just leave my brother as the household member and add his wife as a joint sponsor even though she technically doesnt have much income? Does it make sense for her to be the Joint sponsor and my brother to be the household member even thought he is the one with the income?

(I feel like i should have added my brother as the joint sponsor and his wife as the household member but its too late for that)

2. Should I just not include my brothers wife in this since I dont need her income to meet requirements? The only reason i added her was because my brother has filed jointly with her so I did not want any issues in the future from the embassy in case they as us for her info since her name is also on his transcripts. Is it necessary or not necessary to have her added as well?

3. Or is there any other option I have that anyone would recommend that makes sense?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi guys. Does anybody have the format of the Birth Affidavit that can be used in the absence of Birth certificate as a secondary evidence?

uys we uploaded 3 files (marriage certificate, Urdu nikah nama and it's translation) in 3 separate pdf files. Should we make one big pdf of the 3 documents or uploading them separately will be okay too?

Hi. My sponsor wears a head scarf to cover her hair for religious purpose. Where while submitting i130 can we include her signed statement that the i130 requires for the people uploading the picture with their head covered?

Hi guys, my wife has a specific name that she uses in all her official documents, but people call her or refer to her by some names called in love, and she uses one of those names as her email ID as well & on her social media accounts too (but they aren't mentioned in the official documents). Should we mention those names too? Or will the official name only will do?
