What can I do regarding an I-864 form and an affidavit of support?
My wife applying for my green card and she doesn’t have any income, so my brother gave me affidavit of support. Now I got letter from USCIS saying that they need affidavit of support from my wife and proof of income. She never filed an income tax return but she was a
dependent on someone. What do I do now?

As the petitioner, your wife has to be the primary sponsor even if she has zero income. She still has to submit the I-864 and indicate the income or lack thereof and then your brother would be the joint sponsor with her.
