Reading between the lines it sounds that USCIS believes this is a money for green card scheme. I second the idea of you guys living together for a year before reapplying as I don't see any other way to prove this relationship is genuine.

After reading the letter, I think any appeal will be futile.  In the eyes of USCIS and DOS, there is very, very serious doubt about your relationship.  In my opinion, the best course of action is for you to relocate to your spouse's country, Pakistan, and live together as a married couple for a year....then resubmit your case again.  The only thing which can really resolve doubt about a relationship is more time actually spent together.  Good luck.  I hope it works out.
 
I am no attorney, but this was pretty strong, imho:

Your attorney is using your ignorance to make money. 
It would have been faster and cheaper to re-file the K-1 rather than appeal it. 

Tell your friends to have the attorney write his guarantee that the parents can get a green card without leaving the US in the contract and if he fails to obtain it he will refund all his fees. 
Also ask very specifically what path the attorney is going to use for the parents to obtain the green card. Be prepared with questions such as the child is not a qualifying relative for the waiver.

I would contact by phone, let them know up front you don't want any information about her case (this will save the "we can't tell you anything discussion) and state you want to withdraw the I-864. Have all of her information available that you have, name, SSN, date of birth, all of it so they can look her up. 
Then write a letter (send it to all the service centers if you don't know which one she is being processed at) with the above information. Again include all identifying information for her that you have so they can locate her case.

Sounds like the kind of person who would forge his signature on the I-864. I would call the local office and send letters to all the service centers are stated above.

For DCF both you and your wife need to be living in the country you file from. If she is in Russia and you are in Germany or Canada or Mexico or wherever but not living with her their is not point in DCF. Note not visiting but residents of. How fast can your wife obtain residency in any other country so you could file DCF from there.

You are a wonderful child for wanting to take care of your parents in their golden years. This is something that is lacking in American culture and your exemple is wonderful.
Remember your parent's will need health insurance and they are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. While I know the costs of health care for the parent's is secondary to you taking care of them please remember it could bankrupt you unless you are fully prepared. If you do not already have health insurance arrangements for them I would recommend checking the healthcare marketplace as a starting point.

No one here is jealous that your children are living in the US with you we are just trying to prevent future issues for you and them. 
If they had come on an immigrant visa they would automatically become US citizens when they entered the country.
If you file now to adjust status for the 15 year old they will become a US citizen upon approval. Minimal work to obtain US citizenship for the child. 
 
The only visa I can find that would allow them to stay here for an extended time would be a student visa. It is possible they obtained that but for high school student they are not work authorized. And of course they would have to have a social security number to work so I have no idea how they obtained that. That is why we are confused and asking that you look in their passport to see what visa they come on. We would hate for the children to be banned from the US because they overstayed or violated their visa.
 
Yes of course there are many ppl who are not legal residents who attend school here and work here.

There seem to be multiple issues if your family wishes to be able to travel to or live in the United States.
1. Obtaining a green card for your fiance. This has been discussed.
 
Due to the children entering on ESTA with UK passports and no mention of the children adjusting status I will assume they do not have green cards and thus did not have US citizenship. For the children to derive US citizenship from you they would have to a. Have permanent residency b. live with you in the US c. You have legal custody of the children d be under the age of 18 when all the previous happened. It is not too late for you to correct this issue with the youngest child. File the 1-130 and 1-485 for the child ASAP and as soon as the green card is approved (provided the child is still under the age of 18 and living in the US with you and you have legal custody) they will become a US citizen
 
2. The 18 year old is our of status and incurring time towards a ban to returning to the US. From the date the child turned 18 the overstay time began. Child is no longer eligible for ESTA. If it has been 180 days or more since the ESTA ended the child has a three year ban and if more than 364 days there is a 10 year ban that will begin when the child leaves the US. 
3. Did the child state they were a US citizen at any time on any paperwork such as for obtaining employment or a driver's license or social security card? If so this could be a serious problem as claiming to be a US citizen is a permanent bar from entering the US,.

If your kids entered with ESTA and it has been more than 90 days since their arrival, I hope you realize that they no longer have legal status in the US and are deportable.  Your 18-year-old is not allowed to work without a work permit or green card.  Have you filed their I-130/I-485 packages to adjust their status to permanent resident?
