Immigrant visa petition - changing applicant number

Asked on Jun 05th, 2017 on Immigration - New Mexico
More details to this question:
Hello, I am currently filing for family preference immigrant visa. My uncle filed the petition and my mother is the principal applicant. My family's plan was to immigrate together, so in total four people is listed as applicants(me, my mother, my brother and my father). The problem is, after the interview at the embassy, we received a blue letter requesting for joint sponsor's financial documents. We think it means that my uncle's income is not enough to support four people. We calculated the income and found out that it was enough to sponsor two people, instead of four. In this situation, can we withdraw my father and my brother's application so that my mother(principal applicant) and I can immigrate to US? It is because my school in US starts very soon and all the tuition has already been paid. And, we do not know anyone who can be our joint sponsor. If this is possible, how should i notify the embassy? just a letter indicating that my father and my brother wish to withdraw?

You could but a much better approach would be to talk to an immigration lawyer and see how a joint sponsor or assets could help meeting the Affidavit of Support eligibility. Your uncle could do that here in the USA. Ask him to do that.
