The only correct response is the truth. Only you know what that is.

All of those will be barriers to your ability to support an immigrant.
 
With a dodgy request for a medical expedite on your record, it will be very interesting to see how you plan to pay for your wife’s medical care once she’s here.   Hopefully you realize that she won’t be eligible for public benefits, and that you’re 100% responsible for her.

Not happening.   Doctors will not put their name on some fabricated or falsified document.   You’re grasping at straws.

Yeah, that’s not how that works, as romantic as it sounds.

It usually seems expedite is for the benefit of the US citizen/resident, not the beneficiary. I think it’s a long shot, anyway, as she probably had anxiety before she met you and has survived. Being with you isn’t a fix, but merely a temporary solution that could put her at ease for a little while.  
 
You need to get your tax debt straightened out, as NVC will be looking at your taxes. You also will need to be able to support her, unless you can find a reliable sponsor. It sounds like you have an uphill battle. I would suggest doing your best to secure a job so at least you have some income come NVC time..and work on setting up a payment plan for your tax debt if you haven’t yet. 
 
I think this would be pretty irrelevant. Your brother has always had Down syndrome and has been taken care of this whole life. They likely won’t care much about a knee surgery for your dad. Especially with you being unemployed, which means you have sufficient time to handle these things on your own in the interim. 
 
Honestly, it seems like you’re reaching for anything here to get an expedite and none of it seems like things USCIS will see as valid reasons..just my guess. I mean it’s totally worth a shot and free to try, so you may as well! But if you do actually get the expedite, you won’t have as much time to get your finances in order. So it may be in your best interest to just take this wait time to handle all that. Wishing you the best of luck with that. 

I found this in a previous post and I think this makes approval much less likely:
OP spent a significant amount of time in a different state (without her spouse) and even got a driver's license in that other state, which made her a resident of that other state. This, on top of not being able to answer some basic questions about the marriage, and not being able to show comingled finances, makes this a very, very weak case.
 
While I initially advised OP to just wait and see what the outcome is, I now believe that denial is very likely. If this is a genuine marriage, it is definitely time to get a lawyer involved and see what can be done.

Sleeping in separate rooms is not necessarily an issue; lots of couples do that for all kinds of reasons: health, snoring, different work schedules, or just being very restless sleepers. You should have just been honest about this instead of trying to make up some answer and hoping your husband would make up the same answer. The bank statement with no deposits is likely an issue as well; they want to see comingled finances, and the statement you provided clearly does not show that.
 
Wait and see what the decision will be, but in the meantime, it won't hurt to consult a lawyer so you can be ready for any scenario. Don't worry about citizenship for now; you won't receive citizenship as long as your issues with your LPR status have not been resolved.

It doesn't hurt to try, but I would be careful with the language you use in your request. Caregiver/caretaker/support are jobs, and you will not be allowed to work until you have your EAD. You don't want it to sound like you are going to take on a role that would normally be a paid position. Focus on his disability and how you as a spouse would be able to help him take better care of himself; don't use words like "caretaker", "providing support", etc. Good luck!

You are going to need to prove that the petitioner is able to financially support the beneficiary, and the better you look financially the more likely you are to get approved. Being able to show that you have these assets, and then also having a joint sponsor, looks so much better than completely relying on a joint sponsor. I would definitely put in the effort to put the paperwork together to include your assets.

Makes sense. That's what we'll do. Thank you.

The number will remain the same; it will be her SSN for the rest of her life.

Thank you so much for this advice

I'm sorry that things didn't work out, but I am glad to hear that this is a well-thought-through decision. We see too many posts here by people who withdrew their petition during an argument and now regret it, but can't reverse the decision that they had made while they were mad. Wishing you all the best.
