Does this arrangement for family sponsorship work under current US Immigration Laws? (Details in post)

Hope this is not too complex of a scenario. I did a basic amount of Googling on this but can't quickly seem to hone in on the derivative family green cards that may be granted in situation. Thanks in advance.

Myself (male US Citizen) and my first cousin in india (male Indian Citizen) both have married into the same family. Him marrying the older sister and my wife being the younger sister. The long term goal is to get both my first cousin and his wife settled in the US.

My question is the following: assuming 5-10 years down the line. Once my wife has immigrated and become a naturalized citizen. My understanding is that she would be able to file for her siblings (her older sister). Would my first cousin be included if they are still husband and wife at that point? Would any children they have be included?

We've also considered filing for the mother-in-law once we can and have her act as the sponsor for filing for the older sister. Same question, would that include my first cousin as a derivative beneficiary on the family sponsorship?

Thanks in advance!

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
