Is it any harder getting an O2 when the O1 is your relative?

I'll try get the story across as short as possible with as much info:

My brother is a musician/DJ.
I am also a musician/former DJ - I stopped djing back in 2017 (I had an O1 at one point where I did a tour in the USA in 2017 - expired now but thought that should be noted)

Now my main form of work is being a self-employed music producer in the UK. Although I have done my fair share of the business side of things (management/tour management/advisory stuff - usually for free/for friends but I'm good at it although never done officially I learnt it at college)

I help my brother produce and write some of his music, it's not an official kinda thing cause he's my brother but I am still paid for my part and put it under my self-employment.
He has some DJ shows in the USA in 2021 and asked if I'd want to give a go at tour managing (looking after everything on the business side of the tour - he focuses on the music) and also can help him out with music while there. Possibly looking at 2 months in the US.

I understand on the O2 you have to be a vital part to the O1 to be accepted and I read somewhere that I have to be more important than someone he could get to do the same job from the US.

I'm curious if being his brother is almost damaging here - like they may think I am just trying to squeeze my way into the US via him (I hear US visas are difficult).
But my thoughts are, we work amazingly together because of this, I know him better than anyone so being stuck with him for 2 months would be better than a stranger, I know his music style and what he likes, who he is etc.

I'm curious if anyone has any first-hand experience or even work for the immigration centre and you think this would be ok?

Thanks and all the best

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
