Just wanted to put an update. My wife was approved and they never asked us about my parents or anything really. My wife and I went to a interview and there was a officer who asked us maybe 2 questions at best and said you're approved. 

Ah, the "well I pay more than my share of taxes so they owe me/a relative anyway" explanation. 🤷‍♂️
 

It's not a loophole if you are really providing them shelter and clothes etc.... except food. 
 
If any of the tax papers are getting screwed its me as I give  anywhere between 1600 or 2k  thousands every 3 months from my bonuses to people In need via taxes that's not including the 1500 they take from me monthly. Your argument doesn't make much sense as if anything im getting a small percentage of my money back in the form of snap which isn't even for me but for the parents. Not to mention the 7 or 8k I pay in real estate taxes so there is a HUGE deficit in the governments favor relating to me. 
 
I went to the professionals and have never done my own taxes and have left it to the business individuals. I simply provide them a check for their accounting services and they get it done which has hurt me unfortunately with my current situation. 
 
Its not a crime for my parents to use snap and is recommended if they have no other income. I dont want to hear only middle eastern people use it or anything because every year when I go to their office for my parents I see plenty enough of white people sitting there waiting for their money with 5 or 6 kids. It goes both ways however I pay my fair share of taxes.

Ive read all 6 pages and I have to say either you are genuinely confused and not understanding what people are trying to tell you or you are intentionally trying to disguise info to get help on how to work the system. Personally it seems to me that you are genuinely confused based on your responses so I am going to try to explain it to you. Sorry in advance if this is long and or repetitive.
 
There are 3 things here. Immigration/USCIS, taxes/IRS, snap/local social services office. They are 3 different and independent agencies but they impact each other. 
So lets start with IRS. IRS is the tax agency. You are required to report any and all income and pay the appropriate tax due. And you are allowed to claim any deductions you are eligible for to reduce the amount of tax due. Please note the difference in wording. Required to report vs allowed to claim . You are not required to claim deductions. You can do so providing the deduction you are claiming you are qualified to claim. Are you with me? So you repeated stated you had your taxes done by a professional and you chose to claim your parents because you qualified to claim them as dependents. Which means your taxes were done correctly and your parents are/were able to be claimed as dependents by you. So it sounds like there is nothing wrong with the way you filed.
 
Now USCIS wants you to fill out the 864. On it they want to know your household size. The instructions are very specific about how to calculate household size. I do not have it in front of me but it states to include yourself, your spouse, any children you have whether they live with you or not. Any dependents you listed on your taxes AND anyone who you might not have listed on your taxes that you provide support for (because as explained above you are not required to claim someone as a dependent, so theoretically you could have dependents that you do not claim on taxes). 
 
If the question is how much water is in the glass- this is not a glass half full vs glass half empty type scenario. Its a the glass has 3.5oz of water. There is only one correct answer. You either provide support for your parents or you do not. Because you were able to correctly claim them on your taxes - they are your dependents. People have tried to express this to you and you respond with trying to frame it in a different light. Once again this is not subjective. Even if you didnt elect to claim them on your taxes the 864 wants to know about anyone you provide support for. But you did claim them and you do provide support for them- so they are going to have to be included on your 864.
 
Stepping aside for a minute- lets talk about snap. Do your parents have any income? Do they file their own tax returns (where they would check the box that states someone can claim me as a dependent)?  Im going to assume they dont file their own taxes due to either having no income or being below the guidelines to file. Regardless- snap is based on not only a persons income but their household income and household size. It seems Snap believes your parents have a household size of 2 (just them) and Snap does not know that you provide support to your parents (and have claimed such on your taxes). So Snap calculated out benefits to them based on a household size of 2 and income from 2. This is incorrect. Your parents household size for Snap should include you (and now your wife) and income from all 4 of you. 
 
Your parents can not be an independent household of 2 for Snap purposes and then be part of a household of 4 for tax purposes, and then you get to choose what household configuration works best for USCIS.  So it seems your parents have been incorrectly receiving Snap benefits (and very likely they also get Medicaid correct?). If so this is a HUGE problem that you all need to correct because penalties for doing such includes JAIL. I am positive you do not want your elderly parents incarcerated over this. And I assure you if they are caught they will be. You MUST do something about this. You need to contact the social service office and straighten all this out asap. Its a good thing you have 40k in the bank because they are going to need it to pay back benefits they werent entitled to. As others have stated if you are above the guidelines for a household of 4 there is no way your parents are entitled to Snap or Medicaid. 
 
Going back to USCIS and the 864. The fact that your true household size is 4 is not necessarily going to be a problem if you have income for a household of 4. The problem is going to be 2 members of your 4 member household are getting/have gotten snap (and possibly Medicaid) benefits. This will be held against you. 
 
You can attempt to separate your households. However this does not mean simply electing not to claim them on your taxes. Again electing to claim them or not is optional. You can still provide support for them and not claim them on your taxes. Both USCIS and Snap are interested in the facts of the situation not whether or not you elected for deductions. Does that make sense?  Are you prepared to actually stop providing support to your parents? Are they able to afford covering their own expenses? 
 
Have you sent in your AOS package again? Look through what you sent. Did you claim a household of 4? Did you disclose on it in the appropriate spots that 2 of the 4 members get snap/medicaid? 

I'll keep everyone updated on my wife's status in case somebody else has a problem similar to mine. Pray for me people 🙏 

I'm out.  You keep changing the information you provide about your situation, so there's really no way to provide an appropriate response that will be helpful.  Good luck.

He had stated from the beginning that they live with him and have no income at all, which I took immediately to mean he clearly does provide at least half for them based on rent/mortgage and utilities alone. I see now that he has since stated clearly as much.😊

I don't know but i do list my parents on my tax return as dependents so i'm assuming they looked there and found out that way. Have you had this situation before ?

Just to clarify...you are a USC, right? Because you said you are Iraqi and she is Moroccan. If you're a dual national, then your Iraqi citizenship is irrelevant to the process.
 
Did she sign a letter stating that she intends to marry you as well? Each individual should have a signed letter of intent to marry or else they may issue an RFE.
 
Steps: Wait ~6-8 months for I-129F processing to get the approval (NOA2). Beneficiary gathers necessary documents such as birth certificate, translations, police certificates, etc. Once the case goes through NVC and is at the embassy, they will send a packet 3 with items to send before they will  schedule the interview. A medical exam is required before the interview, as well as filling out a DS-160 and paying the $265 MRV fee. The exact order and procedure for doing this varies by embassy/consulate. See above Morocco is generally considered a very high fraud country for visas. Unfortunately, there have been many others before your fiancee that have tried to abuse the system, so now they are very strict before issuing any a visa. They are looking for fraudulent couples. Not everybody is nice...there's many, many cases here on VJ where a beneficiary pulled the wool over the petitioner's eyes just to get a green card. They are also looking for inadmissibilities: misrepresentation, certain criminal histories, terrorism connections, medical/public health concerns, public charge concerns, etc. Not everybody is kind hearted. This is a job and they are bound to issue or refuse visas based on the law. They have an obligation to perform that duty.

If they send you a request for evidence for her letter, you will send it then.  There are literally thousands of people in front of you waiting for approval, it takes time. You will also need to show you can support her, and meet income and tax requirements. Morocco is not easy to get through, and seems to be worse if you have a co-sponsor. 
 
Morocco approves only a couple k1s a month, so just work on making your case as strong as possible for when the time comes. 

You wait. Maybe they issue an RFE, maybe they don't. People certainly have been issued an RFE for this, but not everybody is. The pictures won't impact the underlying requirement to show that you intend to marry within 90 days of entry on the K-1. Either way, the only thing to do now is wait and see. It'll be a while before you hear anything back either way.
 
It'll take ~6-8 months to hear back (on average) regardless of an approval, RFE, or denial. They have to go through the cases in front of yours first.
USCIS won't deny you for anything with the relationship for an I-129F. They only adjudicate the I-129F, which ensures some basic requirements are met (free to marry, met at least once within the past 2 years, IMBRA compliance, etc.). it's the embassy/consulate that will decide on the relationship validity.
You can live abroad while waiting for the process. You will need to show 1) US domicile / intent before the visa can be issued, and 2) sufficient eligible income/assets (or a co sponsor) to support your fiancee via the I-134 presented at the embassy stage.
 
No other form you fill out can bring her to the US. She is free to apply to for a different visa, which she can obtain if she qualifies for it. However, those visas require returning home, and most do not permit entering with the intent to stay (along with the other visa requirements, obviously).
She can apply for a tourist visa to visit, but she has to qualify for it entirely on her own (there's no sponsorship for a tourist visa). With a USC fiance, it is pretty difficult (but not impossible) to get one. She would need to return back home without overstaying, and to complete the K-1 processing abroad.
 
Morocco is difficult to get a visa from, but that will be true for most visas anyway. If you have a legitimate relationship and can show sufficient evidence of it, then I suggest focusing on that. A strong case is the best way forward.

It is more than just one person's opinion as a refusal does go through a review, but I get what you mean. Immigration just isn't fair.
 
For a K-1 visa, being there is suggested. I don't know if Morocco allows you to be at the actual interview or not (some embassies allow this and others don't), but you can hand your passport to them to present as proof that you are in the country waiting for them as a backup.
